The Fletcher group has previously developed a Rh-catalysed asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling of racemic halides with arylboronic acids. Here, we explore the mechanism of this highly enantioselective transformation (https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41929-021-00589-y).

Synchronous behavior is widely observed in nature from firefly flashing in animals(1), sounds of hands clapping in human(2), heart and neural rhythm in biology(3,4) to nonmechanical oscillators(5,6) in the physical world...
