Isothiourea-Catalysed Enantioselective Synthesis of Phosphonate-Functionalised β-lactones
Despite growing interest in the reactivity and biological activity of phosphonate-containing molecules, the application of α‑ketophosphonates in enantioselective cycloadditions to generate β-lactones bearing a pendant phosphonate group remains unreported. In…
Asymmetric synthesis of metallocenes with planar and central chirality by rhodium-catalyzed desymmetrization reactions
Metallocenes with planar and central chirality have emerged as a privileged skeleton for chiral ligand design, and such ligands have exhibited tremendous success in various asymmetric catalysis protocols. Herein, we…
Deciphering the Mechanism of Hydrogen Peroxide Formation in Ultrasound Mediated Water-in-Oil Microdroplets
Microdroplet chemistry has emerged as a fascinating field, demonstrating remarkable reaction acceleration and enabling thermodynamically unfavorable processes. The spontaneous generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water microdroplets presents a particularly…
Efficient energy transfer from organic triplet states to Mn2+ dopants for dynamic tunable multicolor afterglow in 1D hybrid cadmium chloride
Metal ion-doped organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have emerged as promising room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials owing to their tunable afterglow properties and significant potential in information security applications. However, optimizing RTP…
Atroposelective [4+1] annulation for the synthesis of isotopic isoindolinones bearing both central and axial chirality
Isotopically chiral molecules have drawn much attention due to their practical applications in drug discovery. However, existing studies in this area are mainly limited to centrally chiral molecules and H/D…

A focus on delocalization error poisoning the density-functional many-body expansion
Broderick and Herbert’s article (D. R. Broderick and J. M. Herbert, Chem. Sci., 2024, 15, 19893–19906, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05955G) explores an open concern about using energies from density-functional approximations when developing force…
Iron-Catalyzed Three-Component 1,2-Azidoalkylation of Conjugated Dienes via Activation of Aliphatic C‒H Bonds
Azidoalkyation is an efficient strategy for the conversion of unsaturated precursors into nitrogen-containing structural motifs. Herein, we describe a convenient and highly regioselective iron-catalyzed 1,2-azidoalkylation of 1,3-dienes that employs TMSN3…
