Synthesis of Indole Derivatives via Aryl Triazole Ring-Opening and Subsequent Cyclization
MoleculesA metal-free two-step synthetic approach for obtaining indole derivatives from aryl triazole fragment-containing compounds has been developed. In the first step, the Dimroth equilibrium, followed by nitrogen extrusion, Wolff rearrangement, and amine ...

Biocatalytic Synthesis of Stereospecific Triketide Lactones using Polyketide Synthases [PDF]
, 2016 Polyketide synthases are modular enzymes that create and modify large acyl chains. The domains and modules of polyketide synthases allow us to create molecules that resemble naturally occurring products by applying a biocatalytic in vitro in vivo ...

Phosphazene-catalyzed desymmetrization of cyclohexadienones by dithiane addition
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017 We report a desymmetrization of cyclohexadienones by intramolecular conjugate addition of a tethered dithiane nucleophile. Mild reaction conditions allow the formation of diversely functionalized fused bicyclic lactones.

Chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed aminative dearomatization of α-naphthols/Michael addition sequence
Nature Communications, 2019 Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reactions readily convert common aromatic compounds to diverse 3D chiral, polycyclic molecules. Here, the authors report an intermolecular asymmetric dearomatization of nucleophile-tethered α-naphthols ...

The High-Resolution Structures of the Neutral and the Low pH Crystals of Aminopeptidase from \u3cem\u3eAeromonas proteolytica\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2006 The aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP) contains two zinc ions in the active site and catalyzes the degradation of peptides. Herein we report the crystal structures of AAP at 0.95-Å resolution at neutral pH and at 1.24-Å resolution at low pH.
