Umpolung Synthesis of Pyridyl Ethers by BiV‐Mediated O‐Arylation of Pyridones
We demonstrate that sterically‐ and electronically‐diverse pyridyl ethers can be accessed via BiV‐mediated C−O coupling of 2‐ or 4‐pyridones with arylboronic acids. Use of a bismacyclic reagent not only confers modularity on our methodology, but also results in highly regioselective O‐arylation that is unprecedented for BiV.

Tunneling conductance of amine linked alkyl chains [PDF]
The tunneling transport theory developed in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 76}, 115102 (2007) is applied to molecular devices made of alkyl chains linked to gold electrodes via amine groups. Using the analytic expression of the tunneling conductance derived in our previous work, we identify the key physical quantities that characterize the conductance of these ...

Computational Investigations of Selected Enzymes From Two Iron and α-ketoglutarate-Dependent Families [PDF]
DNA alkylation is used as the key epigenetic mark in eukaryotes, however, most alkylation in DNA can result in deleterious effects. Therefore, this process needs to be tightly regulated. AlkB and TET are families within the Fe and $\alpha$-kg-dependent superfamily of enzymes that are tasked with dealkylating DNA and RNA in cells.

Unanticipated differences between α- and γ-diaminobutyric acid-linked hairpin polyamide-alkylator conjugates [PDF]
Hairpin polyamide–chlorambucil conjugates containing an {alpha}-diaminobutyric acid ({alpha}-DABA) turn moiety are compared to their constitutional isomers containing the well-characterized {gamma}-DABA turn.

Introduced as the first explicitly tetrel‐centered cascade exchangers, Michael acceptors are shown to enable and inhibit thiol‐mediated uptake, generate distinct patterns in heatmaps to decode uptake circuitry, integrate novel halogen‐bonding switches, deliver proteins to the cytosol, and break, as dimers, records for uptake inhibition related to drug ...

Regioselective Alkylation of an Oxonaphthalene-Annelated Pyrrol System
The regioselective alkylation of an oxonaphthalene-annelated pyrrole system is reported. The regioselectivity of alkylation can be controlled by the selection of the solvent.

Covalent binding studies on the 14C-labeled antitumour compound 2,5-bis(1-aziridinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone. Involvement of semiquinone radical in binding to DNA, and binding to proteins and bacterial macromolecules in situ [PDF]
2,5-Bis(1-aziridinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (BABQ) is a compound from which several antitumour drugs are derived, such as Trenimone, Carboquone and Diaziquone (AZQ).

Effect of alkyl substituents on the adsorption of thienylenevinylene oligomers on the Si (100) surface [PDF]
The adsorption of thienylenevinylene oligomers on the Si(100) surface has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. The mode of substitution of the thiophene ring exerts a strong influence on the adsorption configurations and the images of the oligomer based on 3,4-dihexyl thiophene are highly voltage dependent. We discuss the influence of
