    1,2- Versus 1,4-Asymmetric Addition of Grignard Reagents to Carbonyl Compounds

    The first copper(I)-catalysed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was reported in 1941. Impressive developments have been made since then, with catalytic asymmetric ad...

    Catalytic asymmetric carbon–carbon bond formation via allylic alkylations with organolithium compounds

    Carbon–carbon bond formation is the basis for the biogenesis of nature's essential molecules. Consequently, it lies at the heart of the chemical sciences. Chiral catalysts have been developed for asymmetric C–...

    Reversing the direction in a light-driven rotary molecular motor

    Biological rotary motors can alter their mechanical function by changing the direction of rotary motion. Achieving a similar reversal of direction of rotation in artificial molecular motors presents a fundamen...
