Abstract:
... The photochemical behavior of organic pollutants in ice is poorly studied in comparison to aqueous photochemistry. Here we report a detailed comparison of ice and aqueous photodegradation of two representative OH-PAHs, 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OHFL) and 9-hydroxyfluorene (9-OHFL), which are newly recognized contaminants in the wider environment including colder regions. Interestingly, their photodegra ...
... The aim of the study was to determine the effect of osmoconcentration in a sucrose and sodium chloride solution on the efficiency of lactic fermentation and the content of polyphenols and oligosaccharides in yellow and red onion varieties: Alonso, Hysky, Hystore, and Red Lady. In most cases, no negative effect of onion dehydration was noted on the growth or number of the bacteria tested. Osmotic d ...
... Bis-periazulene (cyclohepta[def]fluorene), which is an unknown pyrene isomer, was synthesized as kinetically protected forms. Its triaryl derivatives 1c–e exhibited the superimposed electronic structures of peripheral, polarized, and open-shell π-conjugated systems. In contrast to previous theoretical predictions, bis-periazulene derivatives were in the singlet ground state. Changing an aryl group ...
... Organic crystals that respond to external stimuli are interesting for the design of smart materials. Here, we show that molecular engineering can transform simple naphthalidenimine–boron complexes─known for their exciting photophysical properties─into functional materials that exhibit thermosalience and thermal-luminescence switching. Detailed crystallographic and spectroscopic investigations reve ...
... The synthesis of 2-amino-5-aza[6]helicene and its derivatives is reported. The diastereomeric (R)-menthylcarbamate derivative of this aza[6]helicene is prepared and its isomers were physically separated by column chromatography and their optical properties were measured. Optically pure isomer (P)-2-amino-5-aza[6]helicene was generated and its Boc-derivative was prepared. ...

Abstract:
... Previous efforts towards the alkaloid bisindigotin using 3-hydroxyindole based precursors was dominated by rearrangement chemistry that destroys the desired tetraindole framework of the natural product. Herein, we report a synthesis of the 2,2′:3′,3′':2′',2′''-tetraindole core of the putative bisindigotin structure through a strategic ordering of oxidative dimerization, reduction and dehydration e ...
isomers, etc ; N-acetylglucosamine; glycosylation; research; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... N-linked glycosylation is one of the most important post translational modification of proteins. Various analytical techniques are used for the structural identification of the N-glycans released from proteins through various enzymatic and chemical methods. Although very few side-reaction products are generated during the enzymatic release of N-glycans, this method is expensive and suitable only f ...

Abstract:
... Radical-mediated transformations have emerged as powerful methods for the synthesis of rare and unnatural branched, deoxygenated, and isomeric sugars. Here, we describe a radical-mediated axial-to-equatorial alcohol epimerization method to transform abundant glycans into rare isomers. The method delivers highly predictable and selective reaction outcomes that are complementary to other sugar isome ...

Abstract:
... Linear and curved antiaromatic s-indacenodicarbazole isomers were synthesized and characterized to show the tunable paratropicity of s-indacene, as analyzed by NICS(1)zz and ACID (ring-current) calculations. The curved isomer showed a greater degree of antiaromaticity than the linear isomer, as predicted by the Glidewell–Lloyd rule. This degree of antiaromaticity was further validated by the red-s ...

Abstract:
... We propose a rational method for evaluating the diradical character of the photochromic phenoxyl-imidazolyl radical complex (PIC) derivatives based on their radical–radical coupling reaction rates. PIC consists of an imidazole ring, a phenoxyl ring, and a bridging unit that structurally connects them. The C–N bond formed between the imidazole and phenoxyl rings can be dissociated photochemically i ...

Abstract:
... Herein, we describe the formation of tropolones through the autoxidation of Büchner reaction-derived cycloheptatrienes. The reaction is exceptionally simple procedurally, as it involves blowing a stream of compressed air over the cycloheptatriene, and the products can be obtained without any need for chromatography. The chemistry works specifically on dioxolane-fused systems or close variants, an ...
isomers, etc ; adenine; biosensors; digestion; fluorescence; nucleases; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... 2-Aminopurine (2-AP), a fluorescent isomer of adenine, is a popular fluorescent tag for DNA-based biosensors. The fluorescence of 2-AP is highly dependent on its microenvironment, i.e., almost non-fluorescent and merely fluorescent in dsDNA and ssDNA, respectively, but can be greatly brightened as mononucleotide. In most 2-AP-based biosensors, DNA transformation from dsDNA to ssDNA was employed, w ...

... Controlling the switching efficiency of photoactive hybrid systems is an obligatory key prerequisite for systematically improving the design of functional materials. By modulating the degree of fluorination and the amount being embedded into porous hosts, the E/Z ratios of fluorinated azobenzenes were adjusted as both functions of substitution and the degree of loading. Octafluoroazobenzene (F8-AZ ...

Abstract:
... The first bioinspired, enantioselective, and protecting group free total synthesis of the antibacterial sesquiterpenoid (−)-antroalbocin A (1) has been achieved in 12 steps (5.4% overall yield) from dimedone. An organocatalytic Robinson annulation gave rapid access to the tricyclic enone (19) as starting material for the photochemical domino process of deconjugation and sigmatropic 1,3-acyl shift. ...

Abstract:
... The regio and stereoselective hydrosilylation of a variety of homopropargylic alcohols and their derivatives is described. The reaction is tolerant to a variety of sterically and electronically varied substrates, affording only the E-vinyl silane as a sole regioisomer. The application of the resultant vinyl silanes towards the diastereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted oxetanes is demonstrat ...

Abstract:
... A type of quinoxaline-derived tridentate N,N,O-ligand was synthesized in good to excellent yields over three steps through iodination of 2-aryl indoles, sequential Kornblum-type oxidation with DMSO, and capture by 1,2-diaminobenzenes. The prepared atropisomeric N,N,O-ligand was successfully applied in the synthesis of N-vinyl cinnamaldehyde nitrones as only Z-isomers in good yields through the Cha ...

Abstract:
... The aza-Michael addition is a versatile reaction for the modification of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with amines. The reactivity of dimethyl itaconate as a bio-based Michael acceptor is explored in this work. Through its reactions with piperidine and dibutylamine, it was found that the order of reaction can be changed by the choice of catalyst, solvent, or the concentration of the amine rea ...

A systematic investigation of two sets of defect free and defective ZSM-5 crystals with controlled thickness (T) between 30 and 400 nm and of their performances in methanol conversion was reported for the first time in the present work. The defect free ZSM-5 crystals with a thickness of 35 nm are by far the smallest ever reported and displayed superior activity, stability and selectivity to slower ...

... The singlet 2,2-dialkoxycyclopentane-1,3-diyl diradicaloids are not only the important key intermediates in the process of bond homolysis but are also attracting attention as π-single bonding compounds. In the present study, the effects of solvent viscosity η (0.24–125.4 mPa s) and polarity π* (−0.11 to 1.00 kcal mol–¹) on the reactivity of localized singlet diradicaloids were thoroughly investiga ...

We have synthesised and characterised the two possible isomers of heteroleptic trigonal antiprismatic M₁₂L₆L′₆ MOPs by screening reactions of rhodium acetate with different pairs of complementary dicarboxylate linkers. The resulting 12 new MOPs (eight of isomer A + four of isomer B) are microporous in the solid state, exhibiting Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas as high as 770 m² g⁻¹. ...
