Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions using only target molecule structure. Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate ...
Pericyclic reactions, in which electrons move in concert to rearrange a molecule’s structure, are standard tools for synthetic chemists. But examples of such transformations in nature are fairly rare.
Researchers at the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (WPI-ICReDD) have demonstrated the expanded use of a computational method called the artificial-force-induced reaction (AFIR) ...
