Enanatioselective Switch and Potential Applications in Biocatalysis
Enantioselectivity has always been a key feature of enzymatic synthesis. In some cases, when enzymes are not strictly enantioselective, by tuning the reaction conditions it is possible to induce an enantioselective switch.

Strong coupling to circularly polarized photons: towards field-induced enantioselectivity [PDF]
The development of new methodologies for the selective synthesis of individual enantiomers is still one of the major challenges in synthetic chemistry. Many biomolecules, and therefore many pharmaceutical compounds, are indeed chiral. While the use of chiral reactants or catalysts has led to significant progress in the field of asymmetric synthesis, a ...

Influence of Phosphoramidites in Copper-Catalyzed Conjugate Borylation Reaction [PDF]
Copper(I) has become the preferred metal to catalyze the β-boration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and now we demonstrate that easily accessible monodentate chiral ligands, such as phosphoramidites and phosphites, can be convenient alternative ...

Biologically active Phytophthora mating hormone prepared by catalytic asymmetric total synthesis [PDF]
A Phytophthora mating hormone with an array of 1,5-stereogenic centers has been synthesized by using our recently developed methodology of catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of Grignard reagents. We applied this methodology in a diastereo- and

All-optical coherent control of chiral electronic transitions for highly enantioselective photochemistry [PDF]
Enantioselective photochemistry provides access to unique molecular structures and functions, with deep implications for fundamental science and industrial applications. Current methods for highly enantioselective photochemistry critically rely on chiral sensitisers, as circularly polarised light on its own yields vanishingly weak enantioselectivity ...

Spontaneous Mirror Symmetry Breaking in the Limited Enantioselective Autocatalysis Model: Abyssal Hydrothermal Vents as Scenario for the Emergence of Chirality in Prebiotic Chemistry [PDF]
The emergence of chirality in enantioselective autocatalysis for compounds unable to transform according to the Frank-like reaction network is discussed with respect to the controversial limited enantioselectivity (LES) model composed of coupled enantioselective and non-enantioselective autocatalyses.
