Molecular Stiffening by Macrocycle Clustering
Macrocyclic hosts can remotely rigidify part of a molecule, implying that this part need not be included inside a macrocycle to be stiffened. Here, we show that multiple binding by synthetic hosts CB[7] and CB[8] can selectively rigidify fragments of a tetratopic molecule in water causing a gradual stiffening from the periphery to the core.

Enantioselective Anion‐Binding‐Catalyzed Nucleophilic Addition to 4‐Quinolones
The first organocatalytic enantioselective formal 1,4‐addition to 4‐quinolones has been developed. This method relies on chiral triazole‐based anion‐binding catalysis using enol nucleophiles, complementing previous metal catalytic approaches. Moderate to good yields and enantioselectivities were achieved by in situ silylation and formation of a key ...

Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Bisphenol Derivatives by Organocatalytic Sulfonylation
An efficient organocatalytic strategy involving the desymmetrization–sulfonylation of bisphenols is introduced for the synthesis of chiral 1,1‐diarylalkanes. A chiral thiourea catalyst enables the selective sulfonylation of one hydroxyl group with a sulfonyl chloride in a CHCl3/H2O system under basic conditions, affording the reaction products with ...

Diverse reactivity of maleimides in polymer science and beyond
This mini‐review provides a thorough overview of maleimide chemistry, highlighting its diverse reactivity in polymer and materials science applications. Abstract Maleimides are remarkably versatile functional groups, capable of participating in homo‐ and copolymerizations, Diels–Alder and (photo)cycloadditions, Michael additions, and other reactions ...

An efficient silylative kinetic resolution of acyclic secondary benzylic alcohols was achieved using chlorosilanes and new axially chiral guanidine catalysts bearing a methoxy group. Comprehensive Summary New chiral guanidine catalysts having axial chirality containing a methoxy group were synthesized. Subsequently, their catalytic ability was examined

This interdisciplinary article explores the potential of biodegradable and biobased polymers (BBPs) to address plastic pollution and microplastic generation. It examines feedstock selection, chemical modification, use, and end‐of‐life scenarios, including biodegradation and environmental impact of BBPs.

The anti‐ and syn‐selective epoxidation of various α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes is promoted by an engineered variant of 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose‐5‐phosphate aldolase (DERA), giving rise to various α,β‐epoxy‐aldehydes with excellent enantiopurity (enantiomeric ratio up to 99 : 1). Abstract The enzyme 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose‐5‐phosphate aldolase (DERA) naturally catalyzes
