Umpolung Amine Synthesis
A traditional approach for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral amines via C–C bond formation employs the addition of nucleophiles to electrophilic imines. Although a number of elegant reactions have been developed…

Hydrofunctionalization
The enantioselective assembly of compounds bearing allylic stereogenic centers is an important objective in organic chemistry, both because of their utility in downstream synthesis and because of their prevalence in natural products and bioactive…
Go to Hyperpolarization
Hyperpolarization
The sensitivity of NMR/MRI methods is limited, due in part to the small thermal fractional magnetization of nuclei, resulting in a severe detection limit for abundant nuclei (e.g., 1H), a situation which is exacerbated for rarer isotopes, such as 13C and 15N…
