Abstract:The synthesis of isotopically labeled organic molecules is vital for drug and agrochemical discovery and development. Carbon isotope exchange is emerging as a leading method to generate carbon-labeled targets, which are sought over hydrogen-based labels due to their enhanced stability in biological systems. While many bioactive small molecules bear carbon-containing stereocenters, direct enantioselective carbon isotope exchange reactions have not been established. We describe the first example of an enantiosel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
