Exquisitely selective reactions are ubiquitous in the natural world. In such processes,
enzymes exhibit extraordinary degrees of stereoselectivity and can also display remarkable …

Many enzymes are remarkable asymmetric catalysts, performing reactions effectively and
selectively. Aspiring to imitate enzymatic efficiencies, chemists have delved into Nature's …

Vinyl epoxides are molecules with a rich chemistry because of the strained oxirane, already
a reactive moiety on its own, in proximity with a carbon− carbon double bond. The chemistry …
