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 ...

Study suggests such reactions should instead be described as either 'Woodward-Hoffmann favoured' or 'Woodward-Hoffmann ...
