The metabolism of benzyl isothiocyanate and its cysteine conjugate [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1977
1. The corresponding cysteine conjugate was formed when the GSH (reduced glutathione) or cysteinylglycine conjugates of benzyl isothiocyanate were incubated with rat liver or kidney homogenates. When the cysteine conjugate of benzyl isothiocyanate was similarly incubated in the presence of acetyl-CoA, the corresponding N-acetylcysteine conjugate ...

Potassium‐Ligand Cooperation Facilitated Chemical Bond Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new strategy for alkali metal‐mediated catalysis based on metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) is presented. Potassium pincer complexes exhibit remarkable reactivity toward a range of molecules via an unprecedented potassium–ligand cooperative mechanism. This reactivity enables potassium‐catalyzed hydrogenation, providing efficient reduction of ketones and
