Anthropogenic monoterpenes aggravating ozone pollution

National Science Review, 2022
Abstract Monoterpenes have been known to have a critical influence on air quality and climate change through their impact on the formation of fine particles. Here we present field evidence that monoterpene oxidations largely enhanced local ozone production in a regional site in eastern China. The observed monoterpene was most likely from

Biological Activities of Essential Oils: From Plant Chemoecology to Traditional Healing Systems

Molecules, 2017
Essential oils are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives arising from two different isoprenoid pathways. Essential oils are produced by glandular trichomes and other secretory structures, specialized secretory tissues mainly ...

Total Synthesis of (+)‐Melonine and (+)‐N4‐Oxy Melonine Enabled by an Intramolecular Alkene Diamination Reaction

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A complexity‐generating intramolecular alkene diamination constitutes the pivotal step in the enantioselective synthesis of the title natural products featuring a strained, cage‐like pentacyclic architecture. Abstract Among more than four thousand monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) isolated to date, only a few feature a 2,2,3‐trisubstituted indoline ...

Adaptation of hydroxymethylbutenyl diphosphate reductase enables volatile isoprenoid production

eLife, 2020
Volatile isoprenoids produced by plants are emitted in vast quantities into the atmosphere, with substantial effects on global carbon cycling. Yet, the molecular mechanisms regulating the balance between volatile and non-volatile isoprenoid production ...
