- Title
Organic chemistry: A tuxedo for iodine atoms.
- Authors
Baran, Phil S.; Maimone, Thomas J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the study on the use of chiral jacket for iodine atoms to promote non-enzymatic, high-yielding, enantioselective cyclization which was only made possible through biosynthesis of hopene molecules. The chemical jacket controls the conversion of simple carbon chains into complex iodine-containing molecules.
