[1,3]/[1,4]-Sulfur atom migration in β-hydroxyalkylphosphine sulfides
β-Hydroxyalkylphosphine sulfides undergo [1,3]- or [1,4]-sulfur atom phosphorus-to-carbon migration in the presence of Lewis or Brønsted acids. The direction of sulfur atom migration depends on the type of acid used for the reaction. In the presence of a

2,5-diketopiperazines (DKPs) are cyclic dipeptides ubiquitously found in nature. In particular, cyclo(Phe-Pro), cyclo(Leu-Pro), and cyclo(Val-Pro) are frequently detected in many microbial cultures.

On biological homochirality [PDF]
Generalizing Landau's spontaneous symmetry breaking arguments using the standard groupoid approach to stereochemistry allows reconsideration of the origin of biological homochirality.

Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]
Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.

Life's Chirality From Prebiotic Environments [PDF]
A key open question in the study of life is the origin of biomolecular homochirality: almost every life-form on Earth has exclusively levorotary amino acids and dextrorotary sugars. Will the same handedness be preferred if life is found elsewhere? We review some of the pertinent literature and discuss recent results suggesting that life's homochirality

New Antibacterial Diterpenoids from the South China Sea Soft Coral Klyxum molle
Fifteen new diterpenoids, namely xishaklyanes A-O (1–15), along with three known related ones (16–18), were isolated from the soft coral Klyxum molle collected from Xisha Islands, South China Sea.

Absolute Stereochemistry of Ulapualide A. [PDF]
[structure: see text] The structure of ulapualide A (1) has been solved by X-ray crystallography in a complex with G-actin. The stereochemical configuration was assigned as 3S,9S,22S,23R,24S,26S,27S,31R,32R,33R.

A Palladium-Catalyzed Vinylcyclopropane (3 + 2) Cycloaddition Approach to the Melodinus Alkaloids [PDF]
A palladium-catalyzed (3 + 2) cycloaddition of a vinylcyclopropane and a β-nitrostyrene is employed to rapidly assemble the cyclopentane core of the Melodinus alkaloids.

Chiral drugs : one drug or two? : Clinical pharmacology through the looking glass : reflections on the racemate vs enantiomer debate [PDF]
Most of the synthetic chiral agents administered as drugs are still marketed as racemic mixtures. Such drug enantiomers can differ substantially in their pharmacological, pharmacokinetic and toxic properties.
