Isomerization of α‐Pinene Oxide to Trans‐Pinocarveol
An operationally simple protocol for the selective isomerization of α‐pinene oxide (APO) to trans‐pinocarveol (TPC) is disclosed, which leverages inexpensive pyridinium‐halide organocatalysts to mitigate competing 1,2‐alkyl shifts. The scalability of this methodology is demonstrated on a decagram scale and catalyst‐recycling is validated through the ...

Synthesis, characterisation and luminescent properties of lanthanide-organic polymers with picolinic and glutaric acids [PDF]
Three new lanthanide(III) complexes (Ln = Sm, Tb and Eu) of picolinic and glutaric acid were prepared and characterised. The crystal structure of the complex [Sm(glu)(pic)- (H2O)2] (where Hpic and H2glu stand for picolinic and glutaric acid ...

ABSTRACT Cancer remains a major global health challenge. Among protein kinases (PKCs), PKC‐δ acts as a tumor suppressor in colon cancer and represents a valuable therapeutic target. Human serum albumin (HSA) is gaining attention as an efficient drug carrier, while Plectranthus spp. offers a rich source of bioactive compounds.

Non-Acidic Free Fatty Acid Receptor 4 Agonists with Antidiabetic Activity [PDF]
The free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4 or GPR120) has appeared as an interesting potential target for the treatment of metabolic disorders. At present, most FFA4 ligands are carboxylic acids that are assumed to mimic the endogenous long-chain fatty acid ...

Addition of dianions of carboxylic acids to imines. Influence of the acid in the outcome of the reaction [PDF]
The addition of different carboxylic acids dianions to N-benzylidenebenzeneamine have been studied. The outcome of the reaction depends on the acid. Saturated ones lead to β-aminoacids with good yields and syn-selectivity whereas α,β-unsaturated ones ...
