Journal ArticleDOI

Pasteur's tweezers revisited: on the mechanism of attrition-enhanced deracemization and resolution of chiral conglomerate solids.

TL;DR: Crystal size and solubility measurements and isotopic labeling experiments provide insights into the mechanism of attrition-enhanced deracemization and resolution of solid enantiomorphic chiral compounds, and extension to non-racemizing conditions provides a novel methodology for chiral resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rational ligand design for the arylation of hindered primary amines guided by reaction progress kinetic analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the Pd-catalyzed arylation of very hindered α,α,α-trisubstituted primary amines was reported, which was effective in coupling a wide range of functionalized aryl and heteroaryl halides under mild conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetically guided radical-based synthesis of C(sp3)−C(sp3) linkages on DNA

TL;DR: A systematic approach to translating standard organic reactions to a DEL setting through the tactical combination of kinetic analysis and empirical screening with information captured from data mining is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meteoritic Amino Acids: Diversity in Compositions Reflects Parent Body Histories.

TL;DR: This Outlook reviews recent meteoritic analyses, focusing on variations in abundance, structural distributions, and enantiomeric distributions of amino acids and discussing possible explanations for these observations and the potential for future work.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why are BINOL-based monophosphites such efficient ligands in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric olefin hydrogenation?

TL;DR: The present mechanistic study, which includes the NMR characterization of the precatalysts, kinetic measurements with focus on nonlinear effects, and DFT calculations, constitutes a first step in understanding this hydrogenation system.
