Fukuyama coupling
The Fukuyama coupling is a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of thioesters with organozinc reagents to form ketones, stopping before tertiary alcohol formation; Tohru Fukuyama discovered it in 1998.
Racemic crystallography
Racemic crystallography is a method of protein X-ray crystallography in which a protein and its chemically synthesized mirror image crystallize together, improving crystallization success and simplifying phasing.
Thioester reactivity and synthesis
Thioester reactivity and synthesis covers the laboratory chemistry of acyl–sulfur compounds: their nucleophile-dependent reactivity, hydrolysis and thiol–thioester exchange, transition-metal cross-coupling, and methods for making thioesters from acids, alcohols, and halides.
