This study presents a phosgene‐ and isocyanate‐free route for the synthesis of polyurethanes using (R)‐limonene as a bio‐based starting material. The synthesis of the cyclic limonene‐based carbamate monomer LU is achieved in high yields using dimethyl carbonate as a sustainable, less hazardous phosgene surrogate and is verified by NMR, SC‐XRD, ESI‐MS ...

A disconnection model in which acylium ions generated from acyl chlorides are treated with variety of alkenes is reported for the synthesis of 2,5‐cis‐disubstituted tetrahydrofurans (THFs) and other THF derivatives. A charge relocation process leads to the formation of oxocarbenium ions, which are reduced to the desired THF structures.

Polyhydroxybutyrates are key sustainable polyesters, but controlling the stereoregularity is crucial for exhibiting the most promising thermal and mechanical properties. Highly active rare‐earth metal salan/salalen complexes yield isotactic (Pm up to 0.96 at 0 °C) or syndioenriched (Pr up to 0.91) PHB, depending on the steric demand of the ligand and ...

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

Highly Enantioselective Organocatalysis with Bidentate Halogen Bond Donors
In a model Mukaiyama aldol reaction with unbiased substrates, high enantioselectivity was achieved with a modifiable bidentate iodine(I)‐based halogen bonding organocatalyst. The crucial role of halogen bonding was confirmed by the low performance of the corresponding hydrogen bond donor and via DFT calculations.

Redirecting the Peptide Cleavage Causes Protease Inactivation
Cysteine and serine proteases cleave peptides through covalent catalysis by generating a transient adduct with the N‐terminal part of the substrate after releasing its C‐terminal part. We demonstrate the unique redirection of this event leading to strong enzyme inactivation.

The development of synthetic methods for the catalytic enantioselective preparation of planar chiral paracyclophane derivaties is of considerable interest to the synthetic community. To date, relatively few successful and effective organocatalytic approaches to this molecular class have been reported.
