  • In the case of the enzymatic reaction based on Ogston one would expect to lose all the 18O on stereospecific return of such an intermediate to the ester.

  • … Since this binding is highly stereospecific and corresponds with the previously reported pharmacological potencies of opiates, we believe that our results represent a direct demonstration of “opiate receptor” binding.5

  • He said that the binding was so “stereospecific” it had to be an opiate, like morphine, but because the binding was so weak he suspected that it might be due to the presence of a morphine contaminant in the sample.

  • Prof. Natta extended the research conducted by Ziegler on organometallic catalysts to the stereospecific polymerization, thus discovering new classes of polymers with a sterically ordered structure, viz. isotactic, syndiotactic and di-isotactic polymers and linear non branched olefinic polymers and copolymers with an atactic (or sterically nonordered) structure.

  • Their reactions often proceed at room temperature, with or without a catalyst, and are stereospecific, giving the reaction products in high yields features characteristic of click reactions.
