Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Structural self-assembly enables the hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with
facile synthesis, self-repair structures, and intriguing optoelectronic attributes. Herein, we …

Chemical reactions that lead to a spontaneous symmetry breaking or amplification of the
enantiomeric excess are of fundamental interest in explaining the formation of a homochiral …

To understand chiral symmetry breaking on the molecular level, we developed a method to
efficiently investigate reaction kinetics of single molecules. The model systems include …

In the present study, we report the first silver‐dependent enantiodivergent gold‐catalysed
reaction. The asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes catalysed by the …

The chiral ligand N-methylephedrine (NME) was found to catalyse the addition of
dimethylzinc to benzaldehyde in an enantiodivergent way, with a monomeric and a …

The local transmission of chiral information by noncovalent interactions is one of the most
fundamental processes broadly found in nature, ie in complex biochemical systems. This …

The role of mono-protected amino acid (MPAA) ligands in accelerating enantioselective
cyclopalladation and palladium-catalyzed C–H functionalization was investigated using …

Kinetic resolution (KR) of racemic starting materials is a powerful and practical alternative to
prepare valuable enantiomerically enriched compounds. A magnesium-catalyzed kinetic …

Kinetic analysis of ruthenium-catalyzed reductive N-methylation of amines using dimethyl
carbonate as C1 source and molecular hydrogen as reductant has been performed. Kinetic …
