Harnessing a P450 fatty acid decarboxylase from Macrococcus caseolyticus for microbial biosynthesis of odd chain terminal alkenes

open access: yesMetabolic Engineering Communications, 2018
Alkenes are industrially important platform chemicals with broad applications. In this study, we report a direct microbial biosynthesis of terminal alkenes from fermentable sugars by harnessing a P450 fatty acid (FA) decarboxylase from Macrococcus ...

Extraordinarily large kinetic isotope effect on alkene hydrogenation over Rh-based intermetallic compounds

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2019
A series of Rh-based intermetallic compounds supported on silica was prepared and tested in alkene hydrogenation at room temperature. H2 and D2 were used as the hydrogen sources and the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in hydrogenation was studied.

Hydrocarbon Desaturation in Cyanobacterial Thylakoid Membranes Is Linked With Acclimation to Suboptimal Growth Temperatures

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The ability to produce medium chain length aliphatic hydrocarbons is strictly conserved in all photosynthetic cyanobacteria, but the molecular function and biological significance of these compounds still remain poorly understood.

One-pot multi-reaction processes: synthesis of natural products and drug-like scaffolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One-pot multi-reaction processes involving Overman rearrangements, metathesis cyclizations, and Diels–Alder reactions have been developed for the rapid and efficient synthesis of amino-substituted carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds.

Iodoaminations of Alkenes [PDF]

open access: yesSynthesis, 2016
The activation of alkenes and their subsequent functionalization is a frequently used methodology in synthetic chemistry. This review highlights recent iodine-mediated aminations and elaborates on the various strategies to bring about regio- or stereoselective transformations.

A Simple Nickel Catalyst Enabling an E‐Selective Alkyne Semihydrogenation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenations are attractive approaches to alkenes, which are key building blocks for synthesis. With regards to the most atom economic reducing agent dihydrogen (H 2 ), only few catalysts for the challenging E ‐selective ...

An element through the looking glass: Exploring the Au-C, Au-H and Au-O energy landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Gold, the archetypal “noble metal”, used to be considered of little interest in catalysis. It is now clear that this was a misconception, and a multitude of gold-catalysed transformations has been reported.

Palladium-bismuth intermetallic and surface-poisoned catalysts for the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The effects of poisoning of Pd catalysts with Bi and annealing in a polyol (ethylene glycol) were studied on the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY).

Photoinduced Electron-transfer Reaction of Pentafluoroiodobenzene with Alkenes

open access: yesMolecules, 1997
Irradiation of pentafluoroiodobenzene and alkenes gave the corresponding adducts. The presence of single electron-transfer scavengers, (p-dinitrobenzene and t-Bu2NO) and the free radical inhibitor (hydroquinone) suppressed the reaction.
