A Mechanistic Probe into 1,2- cis Glycoside Formation Catalyzed by Phenanthroline and Further Expansion of Scope
{{output}}
Phenanthroline, a rigid and planar compound with two fused pyridine rings, has been used as a powerful ligand for metals and a binding agent for DNA/RNA. We discovered that phenanthroline could be used as a nucleophilic catalyst to efficiently access high yiel... ...
