Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral Sugars Drive Enantioenrichment in Prebiotic Amino Acid Synthesis
TL;DR: Temporal monitoring and kinetic modeling of the reaction reveal an unusual dynamic kinetic resolution that shifts toward an enantioselective pathway over time, providing an amplification mechanism for the transfer of chiral information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic Implications of Nonlinear Effects in Asymmetric Synthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, reaction simulations based on parameters derived from initial enantioselectivity data provide an extension of the Kagan MLn models as powerful mechanistic tools in asymmetric synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rationalization of an unusual solvent-induced inversion of enantiomeric excess in organocatalytic selenylation of aldehydes.
TL;DR: This work provides support for a mechanistic concept for enamine catalysis and includes a general role for "downstream intermediates" in selectivity outcomes in organocatalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of well-defined Ni/SiO2 catalysts
Donna G. Blackmond,Edmond I. Ko +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three different methods of preparation including impregnation and precipitation were used to prep Silica-supported nickel catalysts, and the properties of these catalysts were studied by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-soluble cavitands promote hydrolyses of long-chain diesters.
TL;DR: Water-soluble, deep cavitands serve as chaperones of long-chain diesters for their selective hydrolysis in aqueous solution and result in enhanced yields of monoacid monoester products.
