Chiral synthesis and atropisomerism represent interlinked facets of modern organic chemistry, wherein the spatial arrangement of atoms imparts distinctive properties crucial for applications in ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Chiral drugs contain non-superimposable mirror-image forms (enantiomers) that can exhibit drastically different pharmacological effects. Over 60% of current drugs are chiral, highlighting their ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb ...
