π‐Electron Donation at the Sulfoximidoyl Nitrogen Atom
Knowledge of the physicochemical properties and the reactivity of functional groups is invaluable in organic chemistry. While substantial understanding of properties/reactivities exists for standard functional groups, moieties which have entered the chemist’s toolbox more recently are often not as well characterized.

Advances in Metal‐Free Transamidation: A Sustainable Approach to Amide Bond Formation
This review highlights the recent developments of transamidation reactions under metal‐free reaction conditions. Various amines including weak nucleophilic amines such as aromatic amines have been used to achieve the transamidation reactions under mild and relatively green reaction conditions. Abstract The amide functionalities are a crucial functional

Orientational orders in binary mixtures of hard HGO molecules [PDF]
studied liquid crystal phases of binary mixtures of non-spherical molecules. The components of the mixtures are two kinds of hard Gaussian overlap (HGO) molecules, one kind of molecules with a small molecular-elongation parameter (small HGO molecules) cannot form stable liquid crystal phase in bulk, and other with a large elongation parameter (large ...

A new visible light‐induced method is reported for the C3‐alkylation of imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines and ‐pyridines with aryldiazoacetates. This protocol can be performed in open air and serves as a convenient entry to several known and new molecules. A formal synthesis of zolpidem is achieved by changing the alkylating agent to an appropriate hypervalent

Mechanism of Sulfate Activation Catalyzed by ATP Sulfurylase - Magnesium Inhibits the Activity
ATPS Sulfurylase (ATPS) is the first of three enzymes in the sulfate reduction pathway - one of the oldest metabolic pathways on Earth, utilized by Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB). Due to the low redox potential of the sulfate ion, its reduction requires

Real hypervalency in a small molecule.
Hypervalency is defined as a molecule that contains one or more main group elements formally bearing more than eight electrons in their valence shell. One example of a molecule so characterised was CLi <sub> 6 </sub> [cite]10.1038/355432a0[/cite] where the description "“ <em> carbon can expand its octet of electrons to ...

Bromostibine complexes of iron(II): hypervalency and reactivity
The halostibine complexes [CpFe(CO)2(SbMe2Br)][CF3SO3] and [CpFe(CO)2(SbMe2Br)][BF4] both contain significant interactions between the anion and the formally neutral Sb(III) ligand, which simultaneously displays Lewis acidic and Lewis basic properties ...
