The multi-staged XENON program at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso aims to detect dark matter with two-phase liquid xenon time projection chambers of increasing size and sensitivity. The XENONnT experiment is the latest detector in the program, planned to be an upgrade of its predecessor XENON1T. It features an active target of 5.

Crucially, the obtained products can be converted into 1,2-diamines under simple reductive conditions. This work provides a new orthogonal method to the existing routes for the instalment of a nitro moiety under Lewis acid catalysed conditions, and expands the state-of-the-art substrate scope with respect to the silyl nitronates.

Article Synopsis
- The development of enantioselective reactions is crucial for organic synthesis, often using metal catalysts with chiral ligands or chiral organocatalysts.
- Recent advances in main group catalysis focus on p-block elements (like boron and phosphorus) as sustainable alternatives for creating chiral molecules.
- Chiral p-block element catalysts offer advantages such as high abundance, low toxicity, high selectivity, and excellent reactivity for asymmetric reactions, helping to produce valuable compounds.
