Selective and Tunable Routes for Glucose to Fructose Conversion Using MgCl2 Catalysis and Comparison to Other Metal Ions [PDF]
MgCl2 is a cheap catalyst for glucose to fructose conversion in water with excellent selectivity if competing pathways leading to CC bond breakage avoided by control of pH and oxygen and use of mild temperatures. Both a stereoselective 1,2‐hydride shift and isomerization via an enediol intermediate contribute to the isomerization.

Schiff based derived homogeneous catalysts for ring‐opening terpolymerization
One‐pot synthesis of degradable terpolymers from l‐lactide, propylene oxide and CO₂ using diverse catalysts is described, revealing structure–property relationships for tailored applications in sustainable materials. Abstract In this study, we synthesized and evaluated a series of Schiff base cobalt catalysts for the terpolymerization of propylene ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.
