Journal ArticleDOI
Iridium‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Isomerization of Primary Allylic Alcohols
TL;DR: Under appropriate reaction conditions, iridium hydride catalysts promote the isomerization of primary allylic alcohols and deliver the desired chiral aldehydes with excellent enantioselectivity and good yields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, structure, and antimalarial activity of some enantiomerically pure, cis-fused cyclopenteno-1,2,4-trioxanes

TL;DR: In this paper, two pairs of enantiomerically pure cis-fused cyclopenteno-1,2,4-trioxanes (7, ent-7,8, and ent-8) are prepared and their identities are established by dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrostatics of Cell Membrane Recognition: Structure and Activity of Neutral and Cationic Rigid Push-Pull Rods in Isoelectric, Anionic, and Polarized Lipid Bilayer Membranes
TL;DR: Structural evidence for cell membrane recognition by asymmetric rods is unprecedented and of possible practical importance with regard to antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly regio- and enantioselective catalytic asymmetric hydroboration of α-substituted styrenyl derivatives.
Clément Mazet,David Gerard +1 more
TL;DR: The catalytic asymmetric hydroboration of a variety of 1,1-disubstituted olefins has been achieved with excellent yields, perfect regioselectivity and in some cases, high levels of enantioselectivities using readily accessible iridium catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection Rules for Helicate Ligand Component Self-Assembly: Steric, pH, Charge, and Solvent Effects
TL;DR: The reaction between 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxaldehyde, copper(I), and certain primary amines was found to give quantitatively a dicopper double-helicate product by imine self-assembly around Cu(I) templates.
