    A chiral hydrogen atom abstraction catalyst for the enantioselective epimerization of meso-diols
    Hydrogen atom abstraction is an important elementary chemical process but is very difficult to carry out enantioselectively. We have developed catalysts, readily derived from the Cinchona alkaloid...

    Here’s another contribution to our amine synthesis platform. A modular, practical and general carbonyl acylative amination to alpha-amino amides and ketones. Great work by Jianzhong Liu. He’s looking for academic positions and is definitely one to watch.
