Enantioselective Reaction Development using Chiral Bifunctional Brønsted Acid/Base Organocatalysis and Applications to Target Molecule Synthesis

The Nutlin class of cis-imidazoline small molecule therapeutics has been shown to inhibit the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between the tumor-suppressor protein p53 and MDM2. The more potent enantiomer of Nutlin-3, ()-Nutlin-3 or Nutlin-3a, has long been used to probe the effects of this PPI in...
