Unlocking the Potential of Aggregation-Induced Catalysis with Asymmetric Chiral Aggregates
A new type of “aggregation-induced catalysis” has been discovered that could revolutionize the field of asymmetric and chiral synthesis. Researchers from the University of Tokyo and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed an efficient method that uses self-assembled aggregates of small molecules to catalyze asymmetric and chiral reactions. The research team’s findings, which were recently published in Nature Communications, demonstrate the potential of this new method for use in a variety of applications, ranging from drug synthesis to industrial chemical production.
