Abstract:
Quinine has been among the best known alkaloids for over 300 years, thanks to its antimalarial activity. In the last two decades, Cinchona alkaloids have emerged as powerful chiral auxiliaries, resulting in some well known landmark developments in asymmetric synthesis, but more recently these alkaloids themselves have been shown to undergo some remarkable transformations and skeletal shifts that are rapidly widening perspectives in the chemistry of Cinchona bases, embracing both basic and applied science. The alkaloids enter into a series of fundamental transformations that have given rise to the industrial manufacture of a host of new enantiopure materials showing promise for asymmetric syntheses and combinatorial chemistry. Stereochemical diversity, well developed conformational minima not encountered in conventional organic substrates, hydrophilic pockets and stereoelectronics contribute subtle mechanistic features and structural complexity.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
