Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) is a highly versatile tool for stereoselective reduction of C=O and C=N prochiral groups. Particularly useful appear the…

Atropisomerism is a type of stereochemistry being a consequence of the hindered rotational barrier of suitably substituted biaryls and analogous compounds.…

The oxidation of melatonin with singlet molecular oxygen (O2 (1Δg)) may produce cyclic 3-hydroxymelatonin 1. We made several melatonin analogs having carbamate…

Lignans, a large family of secondary metabolites consisting of dimerized phenylpropanoid units, are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Among them, the…

We found that simple amino acids may serve as very effective chiral inducing agents in diastereoselective synthesis of heterocyclic systems. We used…
