Understanding the Mechanism and Stereoselectivity of Fe-catalyzed Carbene Insertion Reactions using Computational Tools
Transition-metal and enzyme-catalyzed carbene insertion reactions are key methods for constructing C–X (X=N, O, S) and C–C bonds, primarily using catalysts such as Rh, Pd, Au, Cu, and Fe. While most of these give high ... -
Breaking Symmetry – Organocatalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Natural and Unnatural Ladderanes
Architecturally unique compounds produced by nature have remained a source of inspiration for organic chemists. Ladderane phospholipids (such as [5][3]PC and [3][3]PC), isolated in the year 2002 from anaerobic ammonium oxidizing ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of C-O Axially Chiral Diaryl Ethers, Tricyclic Lactones and Lactams
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed transformations with distinctive activation modes allow the facile synthesis of atropoisomers. In this context, we have demonstrated the NHC-catalyzed synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ... -
Delayed Luminescent Materials: Development and Exploration of Applications
Delayed luminescence (DL) refers to light emission that persists after the excitation source is removed. Differing from conventional fluorescence, DL has a considerably longer lifetime attributable to the slow exciton ... -
