Description

Yi Gong and co-authors found a rare-earth catalyst pair in 2026 that adds cyanide to ketone kin with near-perfect hand pick, opening a short road to a famed brain drug. Twin-armed end products of this kind anchor drugs and farm sprays. Yet face pick across wide stock has fought chemists for years. The two arms on the start carbon look near alike.

A tight ligand with a sulfur cap steers the rare-earth heart. Both fat and ring ketone starts gave end goods at top hand purity. The route reached the brain drug in four steps at a fat overall yield, the shortest such path yet. One end good killed cotton aphids at a dose on par with shop sprays.
