This module teaches fundamentals of pericyclic reactions using examples of biocatalysis, biomimetic catalysis, and natural product total synthesis. After completion, students should be able to ...

A team led by Renxiang Tan and Huiming Ge showed that enzyme-catalyzed pericyclic [6+4] cycloadditions, a class of reactions in organic synthesis first proposed in 1965, are present during ...

The discovery of this transformation not only facilitates the development and application of chiral vicinal diamines in organic synthesis but also enriches the diboron chemistry and pericyclic ...
