DOI: 10.1016/j.tet.2017.02.059
Abstract: Abstract Pericyclic reactions can be challenging processes to render asymmetric, due to the concerted and non-polar nature of the transition states. Several examples have been reported in which a suitable catalyst binds to a heteroatom-containing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c09830
Abstract: Pericyclic reactions, which involve cyclic concerted transition states without ionic or radical intermediates, have been extensively studied since their definition in the 1960s, and the famous Woodward-Hoffmann rules predict their stereoselectivity and chemoselectivity. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2743-5
Abstract: An ongoing challenge in chemical research is to design catalysts that select the outcomes of the reactions of complex molecules. Chemists rely on organo- or transition metal catalysts to control stereo-, regio-, and periselectivity (selectivity… read more here.
