The structures of the key products obtained were determined using 3D ED\/MicroED crystal structure analysis, a technique in which our company has particular expertise.<\/p>\n<p>This achievement has been highly recognized as a significant advancement in the field of synthetic chemistry and was selected for the journal\u2019s Front Cover. Co-author Keiyo Nakai of our Chemical R&amp;D Laboratory commented, \u201cIn the structural determination of small-molecule compounds, 3D ED\/MicroED is an exceptionally powerful technique that can deliver results with remarkable speed.
