More on Stereochemical Odor

Sorry for the short post today, grading and other during-the-academic-year commitments are about to take effect. If you have access, there is a wonderful article in Chemical Reviews ASAP this week:

"The Nose as a Stereochemist. Enantiomers and Odor," by Ronald Bentley. Since it's an ASAP article, there's no page numbers yet, but the url is http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/asap.cgi/chreay/asap/html/cr050049t.html. The DOI is 10.1021/cr050049t S0009-2665(05)00049-X.

For some neat references on chiral odorants, see these MOTD classics:

See you tomorrow.

Monday, Monday - let's see what's new. As always, you should rate the articles, post notes and comments and send trackbacks when you blog about the papers. You can now also easily place articles on various social services (CiteULike, Mendeley, Connotea, Stumbleupon, Facebook and Digg) with just…
Before the days of Times Select, David Brooks used to provoke long rants twice a week. This post from October 24, 2004 is one of those. David Brooks is so predictable. Every week or so, he comes up with a new scheme to explain the polarization of America. Each time he uses what seems to be…

By @finchtalk (Todd Smith) In 2014 and beyond Finchtalk will be contributing to Digitalbio’s blog at this site. We kick off 2014 with Finchtalk’s traditional post on the annual database issue from Nucleic Acids Research (NAR). Biological data and databases are ever expanding. This year was no…

The link you directed folks to required membership in the ACS to actually read the article. Many of us who read your site are not necessarily professional chemists (else, I'm sure there would probably be a lot more about reaction mechanisms and computational chemistry) and so do not have memberships in the ACS. Just as I would try not post a link to an ACM or IEEE article that would require the chemist with an interest in computers to hold a membership, I would consider it a good thing to try to avoid these links in your articles.

Yep, as I noted, membership is required, sorry. I will try and stay away from these links in the future. Note that if you are affiliated with most research universities you will have access to chemical reviews, but I appreciate the frustration!
