The importance of yeast old yellow enzymes is increasingly recognized for direct asymmetric reduction of (E/Z)-citral to (R)-citronellal. As one of the most performing old yellow enzymes, the enzyme OYE3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C exhibited ...

Enantioselective adsorption on magnetic surfaces [PDF]
From the beginning of molecular theory, the interplay of chirality and magnetism has intrigued scientists. There is still the question if enantiospecific adsorption of chiral molecules occurs on magnetic surfaces. Enantiomer discrimination was conjectured to arise from chirality-induced spin separation within the molecules and exchange interaction with

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 1-alkyl and 1-aryl vinyl benzoates: a broad scope procedure for the highly enantioselective synthesis of 1-substituted ethyl benzoates [PDF]
The enantioselective hydrogenation of enol esters of formula CH2=C(OBz)R with rhodium catalysts based on phosphine-phosphite ligands (P-OP) has been studied.

A series of copper(II) complexes with chiral tetradentate ligands, N,N′-ethylene- bis(S-amino acid methyl amide or methyl ester) prepared from S-alanine, S-phenylalanine, S-valine or S-proline, was generated in methanol.

Enantioselective synthesis of (−)-paeonilide [PDF]
The first enantioselective synthesis of (−)-paeonilide is reported. Starting from inexpensive furan-3-carboxylic acid the targeted monoterpene was obtained in 12 steps via an asymmetric cyclopropanation-lactonization cascade and a stereoselective side chain insertion at an acetal-like position.

Phosphoramidite Gold(I)-Catalyzed Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of 3,4-Substituted Pyrrolidines [PDF]
In this article the utility of phosphoramidite ligands in enantioselective AuI catalysis was explored in the development of highly diastereo- and enantioselective AuI-catalyzed cycloadditions of allenenes.

Asymmetric additions to dienes catalysed by a dithiophosphoric acid. [PDF]
Chiral Brønsted acids (proton donors) have been shown to facilitate a broad range of asymmetric chemical transformations under catalytic conditions without requiring additional toxic or expensive metals.

Kinetic resolution of racemates under chiral catalysis: connecting the dots [PDF]
The current theory of the titled phenomenon is apparently based on an inconsistent use of concentration units, as employed in the derivation of the fundamental equations. Thus, manifestly, whilst the relation between extent of conversion and e.e.

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 ...

Rotation and electric-field responses and absolute enantioselection in chiral crystals [PDF]
Microscopic origin of chirality and possible electric-field induced rotation and rotation-field induced electric polarization are investigated. By building up a realistic tight-binding model for elemental Te crystal in terms of symmetry-adopted basis, we identify the microscopic origin of the chirality and essential couplings among polar and axial ...
