Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have conceived a strategy using chiral nickel catalysts to facilitate the carboboration of alkenes, generating high-value enantioenriched ...

Metals like rhodium and palladium are C–H activation aces, but these metals are rare and expensive. For several years, chemists led by Lutz Ackermann at the Georg August University Göttingen have been ...

The separation of enantiomers – mirror-image forms of chiral compounds – is a pivotal process in chemical research due to its wide-reaching applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials ...

Osaka, Japan－Researchers at The University of Osaka have discovered a new type of chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) in an organic crystalline compound. This phenomenon, involving a solid-state structural ...

Scientists have made a significant leap forward in the field of chiral molecules. The team achieved near-complete separation in quantum states for these essential components of life. This discovery ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

The present research thus shows how a dangerous industrial toxin, formaldehyde, can be transformed into a safe and valuable chemical, L-glyceraldehyde, using an engineered enzyme. This demonstrates ...

Northeastern University researchers have made a breakthrough drug discovery, developing the first synthetic endogenous ...

Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...
