Abstract: Carbon dots (C-Dots), with unique properties from tunable photoluminescence to biocompatibility, show wide applications in biotechnology, optoelectronic device and catalysis. Chiral C-Dots are expected to have strongly chirality-dependent biological and catalytic properties. For chiral C-Dots,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.1c01544
Abstract: We describe a general catalytic methodology for the enantioselective dearomative alkylation of pyridine derivatives with Grignard reagents, allowing direct access to nearly enantiopure chiral dihydro-4-pyridones with yields up to 98%. The methodology involves dearomatization of… read more here.
