Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Chiral 1,2-diamines are common structural motifs in natural products, bioactive molecules, pharmaceuticals, chiral ligands, auxiliaries, and organocatalysts. Given their vital importance, great ...

Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long-elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly useful method for constructing "gamma chiral centers" on simple starting ...

Asymmetric catalysis is a type of catalysis in which a chiral catalyst directs the formation of a chiral compound such that formation of one particular stereoisomer is favoured. Since the catalyst ...

For the development of asymmetric reductive coupling of imines to form chiral vicinal diamines through the discovery of diboron-enabled [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements. The team has developed a new ...
