Application of the Michael reaction in organic synthesis is well established. A conjugate addition of nucleophilic substrates to unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of basic or acidic ...

Countless natural products and biologically active compounds incorporate indole and pyrrole heterocycles. Any method that makes it easy to introduce these moieties into complex structures would be a ...

Diastereomers are molecules with identical structures that are not mirror images of each other, described as anti or syn for molecules without rings. Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different ...
