Cluster Preface: Non-Covalent Interactions in Asymmetric Catalysis [PDF]
The successful harnessing of non-covalent interactions to activate functional groups and control selectivity in chemical reactions is a relatively recent phenomenon in synthetic chemistry, but one that has delivered ground-breaking results, particularly ...

Amyloid peptide mixtures: self-assembly, hydrogelation, nematic ordering and catalysts in aldol reactions [PDF]
Morphological, spectroscopic and scattering studies of the self-assembly and aggregation process of mixtures of [RF]4 and P[RF]4 peptides (where: R = arginine; F = phenylalanine; P = proline), in solution and as hydrogels, were performed to obtain ...

Rapid detection of explosives is essential for public safety and national security. Here, conjugated polymers (SPs), incorporating pentiptycene with organosulfur side chains, have been reported using sulfur(VI)‐fluoride exchange (SuFEx). The SP‐7 polymer exhibited exceptional fluorescence quenching (>99% in 60 s) for detecting nitroaromatic explosives.

Thiosemicarbazone organocatalysis:Tetrahydropyranylation and 2-deoxygalactosylation reactions and kinetics-based mechanistic investigation [PDF]
Thiosemicarbazones are introduced as a new class of highly tunable and efficient organocatalysts. We showcase this by studies of the tetrahydropyranylation reaction, where insights to the mechanism was achieved by a double Hammett analysis of both the ...

Selectivity in organocatalysis—From qualitative to quantitative predictive models
Recent advances in both experimental and computational techniques pose an exciting time for chemistry. Computational tools traditionally used to interpret experimental trends have now evolved into predictive models able to guide the design of novel ...

Organocatalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of aziridines and epoxides
Enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-aziridines and meso-epoxides with various nucleophiles by organocatalysis has emerged as a cutting-edge approach in recent years.

Mechanochemical Organocatalysis: Do High Enantioselectivities Contradict What We Might Expect?
Ball mills input energy to samples by pulverising the contents of the jar. Each impact on the sample or wall of the jar results in an instantaneous transmission of energy in the form of a temperature and pressure increase (volume reduction).

Synthesis of Crosslinked Biopolyesters Catalyzed by Natural Amino Acids
Highly crosslinked bio‐polyesters were synthesized via the ROCOP reaction between epoxidized sunflower oil and biobased cyclic anhydrides. The resulting materials were comprehensively characterized by FT‐IR, TGA, and DSC. A cross‐linked network in the bio‐based polymers has been confirmed by dynamic mechanical analysis.
