The development of mild, general, and selective transition metal catalyzed methods for the
functionalization of carbon–hydrogen bonds represents a significant current challenge in …

All living things in nature maintain their internal metabolic balances quite well when they are
in healthy conditions. In other words, metabolic materials are in equilibria in each living …

The existence of a peroxygen acid of sulfur was recognized nearly one and half centuries
ago, 1, 2 but it was not until 1898 that Caro 3 demonstrated the existence of two such acids …

The ideology of Green Chemistry calls for the deVelopment of new chemical reactiVities and
reaction conditions that can potentially proVide benefits for chemical syntheses in terms of …

The conventional fashion by which compounds are synthesized in the laboratory and, to a
large extent, in vivo relies upon the stepwise formation of covalent bonds. However, such a …
