The interest in chiral tricoordinated sulfur compounds in general, and sulfoxides in
particular, has shifted from purely academic, directed toward the study of their …

Chiral structures profoundly influence chemical and biological processes. While chiral
carbon biomolecules have received much attention, chirality is also possible in certain sulfur …

Organic Synthesis, Fourth Edition, provides a reaction-based approach to this important

The Sharpless reagent for asymmetric epoxidation was modified by addition of 1 mol equiv
of H20 to give a new homogeneous reagent (Ti (0-/-Pr) 4/diethyl tartrate/H20/f-BuOOH= 1: 2 …

Determination of the absolute handedness, known as absolute configuration (AC), of chiral
molecules is an important step in any field related to chirality, especially in the …

The Macromycetes exhibit a great variety of colours and colour changes which have
