Empowering Organic Syntheses with Quantum Mechanics Analyses
Syntheses of specifically functionalized molecules continue to be rate limiting steps (RLS) in drug discovery. Improvement in this RLS means investing only in reactions/synthetic sequences that are more likely to succeed. Structural diversifications, different substitution patterns or unique heterocyclic systems can often adversely impact the crucial step(s) of established synthetic sequences or development of feasible …Read More >
