Abstract
Homochirality and related problems have been reviewed. Relative probability of different versions of homochirality arising were estimated on the example of processes, synthesis of organic compounds in space, asymmetric photolysis under circularly polarized light, synthesis of optically active compounds as a result of parity violation, magnetochiral dichroism, chiral amplification, optical active amino acids synthesis and theirs isotope ratios in meteorites, and some other determinate and indeterminate processes. It has been estimated handedness of moving objects as source of chirality. Possible contributions of these processes in homochirality origin in nature have been evaluated. The view is justified that homochirality (and life) origin may be not an accidental event.
Keywords: Asymmetric in vitro and in vivo reactions, enantioselectivity, homochirality.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
