This module teaches fundamentals of pericyclic reactions using examples of biocatalysis, biomimetic catalysis, and natural product total synthesis. After completion, students should be able to ...

Pericyclases catalyse a special class of organic reactions called pericyclic reactions – where the reactants form a cyclical structure before forming products. These reactions are commonplace in ...

A team led by Renxiang Tan and Huiming Ge showed that enzyme-catalyzed pericyclic [6+4] cycloadditions, a class of reactions in organic synthesis first proposed in 1965, are present during ...

reaction mechanisms, catalytic methods, pericyclic reactions, and protochemistry. Introductory applications of computational chemistry is covered. The course is open to undergraduate students (with ...
