Zhong et al. now extend the scope of deracemizations to alkyl halides — compounds that contain carbon–halogen bonds, in which the halogen atom is typically a chlorine or a bromine atom.

The team demonstrated their catalyst using a variety of alkyl halides, and in all cases, they found it produced much higher yields than in separation approaches. More information: Feng Zhong et al, ...

Exoplanets with deep oceans and large amounts of hydrogen in the atmosphere could contain signs of life if such worlds exist. They are the best chance that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST ...
