Photochemical Approaches to Complex Chemotypes: Applications in Natural Product Synthesis. [PDF]
The use of photochemical transformations is a powerful strategy that allows for the formation of a high degree of molecular complexity from relatively simple building blocks in a single step. A central feature of all light-promoted transformations is the

Comparative study of the vibrational optical activity techniques in structure elucidation : the case of galantamine [PDF]
The absolute configuration of the alkaloid galantamine was studied using a range of solution-state techniques; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and Raman optical activity (ROA). While the combined use of NMR and VCD

Synthetic strategies for 5- and 6-membered ring azaheterocycles facilitated by iminyl radicals [PDF]
The author thanks EaStCHEM for financial support.The totality of chemical space is so immense that only a small fraction can ever be explored. Computational searching has indicated that bioactivity is associated with a comparatively small number of ring ...
