Asymmetric catalysis is a cornerstone of modern synthetic chemistry, enabling the preferential formation of one enantiomer over its mirror image. The design and utilisation of chiral ligands are ...

Chiral catalysis and stereoselective synthesis represent central paradigms in modern synthetic chemistry, facilitating the formation of molecules with defined three‐dimensional structures. By ...

A team at ETH Zurich developed a new peptide-based organocatalyst that handles macrocycle formation from start to finish.

Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

Fortunately, these giant rings are about to become a lot easier to access. Helma Wennemers and her team at ETH Zurich have ...
