- Title
Organic chemistry: Catalysis marches on.
- Authors
Morken, James P.
- Abstract
The author reflects on a research article that describes a process for the stereoselective construction of quaternary stereocentres, in which a carbon atom is bonded to the carbon atoms of four other distinct appendages in order to prepare single mirror-image isomers of organic groups. He further discusses the research in relation to the construction of chiral carbon centres, palladium catalyst that facilitates carbon-carbon bond (C-C bond) formaton and enantiomers.
