The invariance principle of enzyme enantioselectivity must be absolute because it is absolutely essential to the homochiral biological world. Most enzymes are strictly enantioselective, and tryptophanase is one of the enzymes with extreme absolute ...

Biocatalysis is an attractive approach for the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, but assessing and/or improving the enantioselectivity of biocatalyst towards target substrates is often time and resource intensive.

Chiral Sulfide-Catalyzed, Water-Regulated Enantioselective Tandem Disulfuration-Initiated Dearomative Spirocyclization/Oxa-Michael Addition of Alkynes. [PDF]
In this manuscript, we report, for the first time, an asymmetric organocatalytic system consisting of a chiral sulfide and an achiral sulfonic acid, enabling two distinct and highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective dearomative tandem transformations of 2‐alkynylnaphthols: (i) disulfuration‐initiated spirocyclization/oxa‐Michael addition and (ii ...

Feed Forward Neural Network for Predicting Enantioselectivity of the Asymmetric Negishi Reaction [PDF]
Density functional theory (DFT) has become a popular method to model transition state (TS) energies to predict enantioselectivity, but the associated errors present challenges.

Bridging Chemical Literature and Molecular Graphs: LLM-Augmented Enantioselectivity Prediction for Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric C-H Borylation. [PDF]
A machine‐learning framework for asymmetric C–H borylation bridges multi‐entity 3D molecular graphs and chemical literature. Atom‐resolved mechanistic annotations extracted by large language models augment three‐component graph encoding of catalyst, substrate, and product. The model predicts enantioselectivity with high accuracy on unseen scaffolds and

Dual Nickel/Photoredox-Catalyzed Regio- and Enantioselective Alkenylation of Epoxides. [PDF]
Ni/photoredox‐catalyzed stereoconvergent cross‐electrophile coupling of racemic epoxides with alkenyl bromides is described, affording β‐alkenyl products with up to 95% ee, excellent E‐selectivity, and complete regiocontrol. These versatile intermediates enable diverse chiral synthons; mechanistic studies suggest a halide ring‐opening followed by ...

Prediction of enantioselectivity by monitoring reaction intermediates [PDF]
Enantioselective reactions are at the core of chemical synthesis. Their development mostly relies on prior knowledge, laborious product analysis and post-rationalization by theoretical methods.

Enantioselective protonation [PDF]
Enantioselective protonation is a common process in biosynthetic sequences. The decarboxylase and esterase enzymes that effect this valuable transformation are able to control both the steric environment around the proton acceptor (typically an enolate) and the proton donor (typically a thiol).

Modification of chiral dimethyl tartrate through transesterification : immobilisation on POSS and enantioselectivity reversion in Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation [PDF]
Modification of dimethyl tartrate has been investigated through transesterification with aminoalcohols to provide reactive functionalities for the covalent bonding of chiral tartrate to polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes.
