Chiral Compounds News Today

Worldwide, plants emit about 100 million tonnes of monoterpenes into the atmosphere each year. These volatile organic molecules include many fragrances such as the molecule pinene – known for its ...

Researchers discover method to synthesize useful and unique compounds Researchers in Japan discovered a method to synthesize useful and unique compounds called N−C axially chiral compounds. “N−C axially chiral compounds” are important chiral molecules with various applications in medicinal chemistry and chiral technology. However, there is a scarcity of research on ways to synthesize them in an enantioselective (asymmetric) manner, to obtain useful forms of the compounds. Researchers at...
