Research into gas-phase Brønsted acids has yielded profound insights into proton donation processes devoid of solvation effects, allowing chemists to probe intrinsic acid strengths. This field ...
A fundamental method for generating a tertiary carbon stereocentre is to deliver a proton to a carbanion intermediate. However, enantioselective transfer of a proton presents unusual challenges — ...
The 1970’s was the decade that illuminated the threat of acid rain to the citizens of the US. It had been known to exist several years before, but the sources of the problem did their best to suppress ...
