The asymmetric dehydration of alcohols is an important process for the direct synthesis of alkenes. We report the structure and substrate specificity of the bifunctional linalool dehydratase isomerase ...

A ring-shaped molecule may possess a cavity because of its three-dimensional structure. This cavity can accommodate a guest molecule if its size (configuration) is adequate for the cavity, while it ...

This study is led by Prof. Dr. Shengying Li (State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology, Shandong University) and Ass. Prof. Dr. Biaobiao Zhang (School of Science, Westlake University). The team ...

The rapid advances made in synthetic organic fluorine chemistry over the past decade have led to the design of yet another sought-after reaction. Harvard University’s Eric N. Jacobsen and coworkers ...

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of ...
