A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science, Tokyo, has uncovered a ...

A new study has uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping life’s earliest molecular structures, shedding light on ...

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 ...

The characterization of chiral aggregates by CD is also not trivial, and finding the origin of optical activity is often a thorny problem: Does the signal come from the molecule or the aggregate?

Trimerization of commercially available coprostanone (a steroid ketone with a cis A/B ring junction) by treatment with titanium tetrachloride yields this unusual, chiral, cleft-containing molecule.

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 ...
