Chiral ligands, such as small organic molecules or peptides, can be used to direct the synthesis of chiral nanostructures. These ligands bind to the surface of nanoparticles or nanocrystals, inducing ...

Our work on acyl transfer catalysis has focused on the design on new catalytic cycles and on mechanistic studies to aid in the design of new catalysts, while our approach to the synthesis of chiral ...

chiral ligands, auxiliaries, and organocatalysts. Given their vital importance, great progress has been made to synthesize enantioenriched chiral vicinal diamines. Among these, direct ...

chemists have utilised chiral amines for the development of biologically active small molecules and the synthesis of chiral ligands, necessitating a general and efficient approach to generate diverse ...

The new method enables what had been impossible except in narrow cases: creating a center of chiral asymmetry at a hard-to-reach position called the "gamma" position on a cyclic carboxylic acid ...

Asymmetric catalysis is a type of catalysis in which a chiral catalyst directs the formation ... linear relationship between the ee values of ligands and products in complex systems is often ...
