David C. Spellmeyer,K. N. Houk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between the valeurs theoriques des energies d'activation and des chaleurs de reactions avec les valeur experimentales is made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of new mutually orthogonal bioorthogonal cycloaddition pairs through computational screening
TL;DR: The sydnone-dibenzocyclooctyne and norbornene-tetrazine cycloadditions are both bioorthogonal and mutually orthogonal, used for simultaneous labeling of two targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple roles of silver salts in palladium-catalyzed C–H activations
TL;DR: The non-oxidative roles of Ag(I) salts in Pd-catalyzed C-H activation are highlighted in this mini-review.
Journal ArticleDOI
