Abstract
The concave geometry of enzymes is important for the high selectivity of their reactions. By analogy, the incorporation of standard reagents of organic chemistry into a concave environment gives concave reagents with a geometry resembling that of a light bulb in a lampshade. Selectivity enhancements have been realized in protonations, base catalysed reactions and metal ion catalysed reactions.Keywords
