A new technique makes it much easier and cheaper to determine key characteristics of amine-containing chiral compounds synthesized individually or in parallel. The technique, which measures product ...

Enantiomers are molecules that are each other’s mirror image — like one’s left and right hand. They are said to be chiral, chirality being the term for ‘displaying handedness’. Although a pair of ...

video: Co-author Nicholas A. Kotov talks about the biomimetic nature of inorganic nanoparticles and their assemblies, the significance of mesoscale helical assemblies, and relevant technological ...

A simple organocatalytic one-pot protocol for the construction of optically active allylic alcohols and amines using readily available reactants and catalyst is presented. The described reaction is ...

Researchers report a new method for distinguishing between enantiomers, molecules that are mirror images of each other. The procedure, relevant for the pharmaceutical industry, involves the chemical ...
