The 1,4-dithiin motif is known for its reversible redox properties to generate radical cations and diradical dications and thus is interesting for organic electronic applications. However, examples where this motif is embedded into chiral larger fused aromatic compounds are very rare. Here we describe the syntheses of several structurally related pyrene fused dithiins and their spectroscopic investigations with a focus on tuning circular dichroism, with respect to the g values, depending on their connectivity.

The convergent total synthesis of ixabepilone and its analogues in a 13-step longest linear sequence is reported. The crucial chiral centers at challenging C3-O, C8-C and C15-N positions on the scaffold of the ixabepilone were installed via highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenations (up to 95% yield and up to 99% e.e.

Etoxazole, a widely used mite growth inhibitor, contains a chiral center in its chemical structure, resulting in two mirror-image enantiomers. These enantiomers of etoxazole display significant differences in biological activity and environmental behavior. In bioassays conducted against , it was observed that S-etoxazole demonstrated approximately 279.

Compared with chiral β-amino phosphorus compounds, which can be easily derived from natural optically pure α-amino acids, obtaining chiral β-amino phosphorus derivatives remains a challenge. These derivatives, which cannot be derived from chiral natural amino acids, possess unique biological activities or potential catalytic activities. Herein, highly enantioselective hydrogenation for the preparation of chiral β-amino phosphorus derivatives from -β-enamido phosphorus compounds is reported by using a green and low-cost earth-abundant metal nickel catalyst (13 examples of 99% ee).

Chiral diaryl alcohols, such as (4-chlorophenyl)(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, are important intermediates for pharmaceutical synthesis. However, using alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) in the asymmetric reduction of diaryl ketones to produce the corresponding alcohols is challenging due to steric hindrance in the substrate binding pockets of the enzymes. In this study, the steric hindrance of the ADH from Geotrichum candidum NBRC 4597 (G.

Chiral molecules are ubiquitous in nature and biological systems, where the unique optical and physical properties of chiral nanoparticles are closely linked to their shapes. Synthesizing chiral plasmonic nanomaterials with precise structures and tunable sizes is essential for exploring their applications. This study presents a method for growing three-dimensional chiral gold nanoflowers (Au NFs) derived from trisoctahedral (TOH) nanocrystals using D-cysteine and L-cysteine as chiral inducers.
