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 ...

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 ...

Axial chirality arises when restricted rotation about a molecular axis generates enantiomeric conformers known as atropisomers. Such stereochemical motifs are ubiquitous in biaryls, heterobiaryls and ...

The study demonstrates that applying a gate voltage drives chiral cations from an ionic liquid to the surface of achiral MoS 2, creating a controllable chiral electronic state without permanently ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...
