Silver and platinum-catalysed addition of O–H and N–H bonds to allenes [PDF]
Transition-metal catalysed nucleophile addition to allenes is a very powerful tool for the synthesis of functionalised molecules containing heteroatoms, heterocycles in the intramolecular version, or allyl derivatives in the intermolecular version.

Concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitutions [PDF]
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is one of the most widely applied reaction classes in pharmaceutical and chemical research, providing a broadly useful platform for the modification of aromatic ring scaffolds. The generally accepted mechanism for SNAr reactions involves a two-step addition-elimination sequence via a discrete, non-aromatic ...

A two-step approach to achieve secondary amide transamidation enabled by nickel catalysis. [PDF]
A long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry is the development of the transamidation reaction. This process, which involves the conversion of one amide to another, is typically plagued by unfavourable kinetic and thermodynamic factors. Although some

Mechanistic Study of Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Hydroamination of Allenes [PDF]
The intermolecular hydroamination of allenes occurs readily with hydrazide nucleophiles, in the presence of 3-12% Ph_3PAuNTf_2. Mechanistic studies have been conducted to establish the resting state of the gold catalyst, the kinetic order of the reaction,

Solvent-controlled selective transformation of 2-Bromomethyl-2-methylaziridines to functionalized Aziridines and Azetidines [PDF]
The reactivity of 2-bromomethyl-2-methylaziridines toward oxygen, sulfur, and carbon nucleophiles in different solvent systems was investigated. Remarkably, the choice of the solvent has a profound influence on the reaction outcome, enabling the ...

Catalysis by hen egg-white lysozyme proceeds via a covalent intermediate [PDF]
Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was the first enzyme to have its three-dimensional structure determined by X-ray diffraction techniques(1). A catalytic mechanism, featuring a long-lived oxo-carbenium-ion intermediate, was proposed on the basis of model ...

Three-dimensional Structure of L-2-Haloacid Dehalogenase from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 Complexed with the Substrate-analogue Formate [PDF]
The L-2-haloacid dehalogenase from the 1,2-dichloroethane degrading bacterium Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 catalyzes the hydrolytic dehalogenation of small L-2-haloalkanoic acids to yield the corresponding D-2-hydroxyalkanoic acids.

Synthesis of phosphorothioates using thiophosphate salts
Reactions of O,O'-dialkyl thiophosphoric acids with alkyl halides, in the presence of a base, provide a direct synthetic route to phosphorothioates via O,O'-dialkyl thiophosphate anion formation. Studies on the reaction of ambident nucleophile ammonium O,
