A new, two-step strategy for making substituted piperidines offers chemists a more efficient way to make these biologically ...

“Mirror bacteria” could evade people’s immune systems, they suggest, causing deadly infections. Such infections could also ...

The discovery of this transformation not only facilitates the development and application of chiral vicinal diamines in organic synthesis but also enriches the diboron chemistry and pericyclic ...

"Our analysis suggests that mirror bacteria would likely evade many immune mechanisms mediated by chiral molecules, ...

The molecules responsible for optical activity are chiral, meaning that they cannot be superimposed on their mirror images — of which the human hand is a paradigm example. For this reason ...

Anything that has a handedness -- left or right -- is said to be chiral. Chiral molecules that are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. A good example is the compound thalidomide.

Life on Earth has evolved to have right-handed DNA and left-handed amino acids. Scientists call this naturally chiral. In ...

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the synthesis ... Now, using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid, an electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformation enables efficient and stereoselective ...
