Viedma ripening is an emerging method for the solid-phase deracemization of mixtures of enantiomers. Up to now, the scope of the method has remained limited to molecules with a single stereocenter. We show here that this method can be extended to obtain a single enantiomer from a mixture of stereoisomers with two different stereocenters. In addition, we show that by using tailor-made chiral additives, the conversion time can be reduced by a factor of 100.

By coupling a photochemical and a thermal step, a single chiral catalyst can establish a photostationary state in which the enantiopure form of a chiral compound is favored over its racemate. Following this strategy, 3-substituted 4,7-diaza-1-isoindolones were successfully deracemized (74-98% yield, 86-99% ) employing 2.5 mol % of a photocatalyst.

Hypothesis: Nanoscale characterisation of the self-associated species formed by amphiphilic pharmaceuticals in aqueous solution carries relevance across their entire journey from development through to manufacture - relevant, therefore, not only as regards formulation of the drug products as medicines, but also potentially relevant to their bioavailability, activity, and clinical side effects. Such knowledge and understanding, however, can only be fully secured by applying a range of experimental and theoretical methodologies.
Experiments: Herein, we apply a synergistic combination of solubility, surface tension, SANS, NMR and UV spectroscopic studies, together with MD simulation and QM calculations, to investigate the meso-structures of propranolol hydrochloride aggregates in bulk aqueous solutions, at concentrations spanning 2.

This work explores the use of a cross-shaped organic framework that is used as a template for the investigation of multi-functionalized chromophores. We report the design and synthesis of a universal cross-shaped building block bearing two bromines and two iodines on its peripheral positions. The template can be synthesized on a gram scale in a five-step reaction comprising an oxidative homo-coupling macro-cyclization.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is characterized by a decline in cognitive functions, including memory, attention, and executive abilities, following surgery, with no effective therapeutic drugs currently available. Arketamine, the (R)-enantiomer of ketamine, has shown promise in mitigating cognitive deficits in animal models. In this study, we investigated whether arketamine could ameliorate cognitive deficits in a mouse model of POCD, with a focus on the role of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in its effects.

Chiral hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides (HOMHs) hold great promise in broad applications ranging from ferroelectrics, spintronics to nonlinear optics, owing to their broken inversion symmetry and tunable chiroptoelectronic properties. Typically, chiral HOMHs are constructed by chiral organic cations and metal anion polyhedra, with the latter regarded as optoelectronic active units. However, the primary design approaches are largely constrained to regulation of general components within structural formula.
