Kinetic Resolution of Heterocyclic Lactams by a Photocatalytic Cobalt-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation Chiral heterocyclic lactams have been kinetically resolved in a photochemical process that involves selective hydrogen abstraction by a chiral benzophenone catalyst. Recognition of one enantiomer is ...

Great news! Check out our latest paper on the co-catalytic photochemical kinetic resolution by dehydrogenation. Amazing work, Chao! 💡🙌🧪 #photochemistry #dehydrogenation #kineticresolution
