C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...
The new method enables what had been impossible except in narrow cases: creating a center of chiral asymmetry at a hard-to-reach position called the “gamma” position on a cyclic carboxylic acid.
LA JOLLA, CA—Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly useful method for constructing “gamma chiral centers” on simple starting ...
