This module teaches fundamentals of pericyclic reactions using examples of biocatalysis, biomimetic catalysis, and natural product total synthesis. After completion, students should be able to ...

Pericyclases catalyse a special class of organic reactions called pericyclic reactions – where the reactants form a cyclical structure before forming products. These reactions are commonplace in ...

A team led by Renxiang Tan and Huiming Ge showed that enzyme-catalyzed pericyclic [6+4] cycloadditions, a class of reactions in organic synthesis first proposed in 1965, are present during ...
