The efficient synthesis of enantioenriched compounds is becoming increasingly important in
modern organic, pharmaceutical, and materials chemistry. Recently, chiral cooperative …

Merrifield first reported the concept of solid-phase peptide synthesis using heterogeneous
chloromethylated polystyrene that was lightly cross-linked by divinylbenzene (Merrifield …

Therapeutic nanoreactors have been proposed to treat cancers through in situ
transformation of low-toxicity prodrugs into toxic therapeutics in the body. However, the in …

While tremendous advances have been made in asymmetric synthesis, the resolution of
racemates is still the most important industrial approach to the synthesis of chiral …

1. INTRODUCTION The catalysis of organic reactions by metals still constitutes one of the
most useful and powerful tools in organic synthesis. 1 Although asymmetric synthesis is …

Asymmetric catalysis constitutes one of the most important subjects in chemistry originating
thousands of published works every year. But still, the application of such methodologies in …

Nature s ability to perform catalytic reactions in a fast and specific way has been a source of
inspiration for chemists who seek to enhance catalytic efficiency. In addition to …

Catalytic asymmetric reactions in which water is a substrate are rare. Enantioselective
transition-metal-catalyzed insertion of carbenes into the O–H bond of water can be used to …

Here we report on the preparation of well defined water-soluble poly (2-methyl-2-oxazoline)
and poly (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) terminally equipped with a chelator (N, N′, N ″, N …

Salens are among the most widely studied ligands in chemistry. They are primarily applied
in homogeneous catalysis, a use that helps to increase our knowledge of environmentally …
