Therefore, this work shows that pseudo-repetitive MCRs are more thermodynamically favorable compared to classic MCRs, and that they also allow rapid access to highly structurally complex molecules, exhibiting a high degree of symmetry that may play an important role in several fields of knowledge like optics, material science, agrochemistry, and medicinal chemistry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":438,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
