(2013-01-18)Department: ChemistryHerein we demonstrate the development and application of chiral bis(amidines) as organocatalysts in novel enantioselective transformations. A chiral, Brønsted base-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of nitroalkanes is described ...
-
(2009-12-03)Department: Chemistry1,2-Diamines form an important class of compounds, some members of which are valuable for their biological activity. In addition, chiral, non-racemic 1,2-diamines have emerged as an important class of ligands for ...
-
(2016-08-04)Department: ChemistryThe proton is the smallest Lewis acid and has been utilized in nature by enzymes for catalysis and stereocontrol of a variety of reactions long before chemistry was pursued as the discipline it is today. This precedent ...
-
(2006-08-07)Department: ChemistryChiral chromatography is a convenient method to obtain the pure enantiomers of a racemate and is also the most widely-used analytical technique to determine enantiomeric purity in the pharmaceutical industry. Seventeen new ...
-
(2021-03-16)Department: PhysicsHigh spin states of the neutron-rich $^{104}$Mo nucleus have been reinvestigated by analyzing the $\gamma$-rays in the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf with Gammasphere. Both $\gamma$-$\gamma$-$\gamma$ and $\gamma$-$\ga ...
-
(2007-08-17)Department: ChemistryThe significance of being able to reliably establish the structure of chiral molecules is manifested through the recognition that different enantiomers and diastereomers of the same compound can have vastly different effects ...
-
(2022-05-16)Department: ChemistryChirality permeates through modern science, from the spin of elementary particles to mechanisms underlying biological life processes. The amino acids and sugars from which proteins and nucleic acids are built exhibit ...
-
(2016-04-01)Department: ChemistryRecent experimental studies have shown unexpected chiroptical response from some chiral surfactant molecules. In these cases, the magnitude of the specific optical rotation was seen to change as a function of surfactant ...
-
(2023)Alternative seating options and choice as an antecedent intervention have been previously researched. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a choice of alternative seating on in-seat behavior and engagement for preschool ...
