Cooperative effects between arginine and glutamic acid in the amino acid catalyzed aldol reaction [PDF]
Catalysis of the aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde by mixtures of L-Arg and of L-Glu in wet DMSO takes place with higher enantioselectivity (up to a seven-fold enhancement in the anti- aldol for the 1:1 mixture) than that ...

Asymmetric organocatalysis involving double activation
Asymmetric organocatalysis contributed tremendously to the field of organic synthesis since year 2000. Considering the diversity of organocatalysts and their activation modes, chemists developed the double activation strategy, in which two distinct ...

Indirect Anti-Markovnikov Hydrofunctionalization of Terminal Alkenes via an Alkenyl Thianthrenium Intermediate. [PDF]
A two‐stage dication pool strategy using alkenyl thianthrenium intermediates has been developed for anti‐Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization. This method differs from previous approaches in its reaction mechanism and addresses their most significant limitation, namely, the restricted generality of the nucleophile. The approach has been extended to other

Designing Enzymatic Reactivity with an Expanded Palette
Innovation in biocatalysis is rapidly increasingly the diversity of catalytic reactivity that can be mediated by enzymes, addressing a key bottleneck for their widespread adoption in industrial chemical synthesis. A key approach to this is building enzymes with unnatural catalytic components that provide an expanded palette with new possibilities for ...

“Dial Up and Lock In”: Asymmetric organo-Brønsted acid catalysis incorporating stable isotopes [PDF]
An operationally simple organo-Brønsted-acid-catalyzed asymmetric and regioselective “dial up and lock in” of one or more stable isotopes into organic compounds is unknown.

Hijacking the MDM2 E3 Ligase with novel BRD4‐Targeting PROTACs in Pancreatic Cancer Cells
The phenotypic effect induced by a Proteolysis‐Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) can depend on several factors, including the E3 ligase recruited. For the discovery of a first‐in‐class PROTAC for a target of interest, the E3 ligases commonly hijacked remain the Von Hippel‐Lindau (VHL) and Cereblon (CRBN) since potent and accessible ligands are readily ...
