Enantioselective synthesis is an important research topic with applications in drug development. Asymmetrical catalysis is one of the available ways of producing enantioenriched products. C2-Symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes or dbCOTs are a family of versatile chiral ligands for transition metals. They display great efficiency and enantioselectivity in 1,2- and 1,4- additions reactions. In this

Alla är vi barn i början. Med stigande ålder utvecklas förmågan att skilja på vad som är rätt och fel. Unga personer har begränsade möjligheter att bedöma risker och överblicka konsekvenserna av olika beslut. Likväl kan skadeståndsskyldighet bli aktuellt redan i ett tidigt skede av livet. Det civilrättsliga regelverket har en betydligt tuffare inställning till barns ansvar än vad straffrätten har.We all start out as children. The ability to distinguish between what is right and wrong develops with increasing age. Young people have a limited capability to assess risks and foresee the consequences of their decisions. Despite this, liability for damages can become a matter at an early stage of life. The regulations of civil law have a much tougher approach to children’s responsibility than th
