In this work we present the first computational study on the hectochlorin biosynthesis enzyme HctB, which is a unique three-domain halogenase that activates non-amino acid moieties tethered to an acyl-carrier, and as such may have biotechnological ...

Asymmetric synthesis of gonytolide A: strategic use of an aryl halide blocking group for oxidative coupling [PDF]
The first synthesis of the chromanone lactone dimer gonytolide A has been achieved employing vanadium(V)-mediated oxidative coupling of the monomer gonytolide C. An o-bromine blocking group strategy was employed to favor para- para coupling and to enable

Halogenation effect on physicochemical properties of Ti3C2 MXenes
Halogenated MXenes have been experimentally demonstrated to be promising two-dimensional materials for a wide range of applicability. However, their physicochemical properties are largely unknown at the atomic level.

Synthesis and Reactions of 3-Halogenated 2-CF3-Indoles
Halogenation of 2-trifluoromethylindole afforded 3-chloro-, 3-bromo- and 3-iodo derivatives in up to 98% yield. Methyl-, benzyl- and tosyl-groups can be installed at the nitrogen atom of prepared indoles in high yields by base catalyzed reaction with the

Unusual structure-energy correlations in intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction transition states [PDF]
Detailed analysis of calculated data from an experimental/computational study of intramolecular furan Diels–Alder reactions has led to the unusual discovery that the mean contraction of the newly forming C-C σ-bonds from the transition state to the ...

Synthesis and spectrometric study of some nucleophilic reactions of the antiepileptic molecule; 5,5-diphenyl imidazolidine-2,4-dione. [PDF]
New reaction routs were performed for the compound 5,5-diphenyl 2,4-imidazolidinedione (I) to give derivatives (II – VII). These reactions include acylation, halogenation, reduction, and nucleophilic substitutions. Most of the derivatives showed variable
