Transfer of electrophilic NH using convenient sources of ammonia: direct synthesis of N–H sulfoximines from sulfoxides [PDF]
The transfer of nitrogen atoms is extremely valuable in the preparation of medicinal compounds. Here, a new system for NH transfer is developed to prepare sulfoximines, which are emerging as valuable motifs for drug discovery.

Extracting the sample response function from experimental two-dimensional terahertz-infrared-visible spectra [PDF]
Terahertz molecular motions are often probed by high-frequency molecular oscillators in different types of non-linear vibrational spectroscopy. Recently developed two-dimensional terahertz-infrared-visible spectroscopy allows direct measuring of this coupling and, thus, obtaining site-specific terahertz vibrational spectrum.

Modular polyoxometalate-layered double hydroxides as efficient heterogeneous sulfoxidation and epoxidation catalysts [PDF]
Selective sulfoxidation of sulfides and epoxidation of olefins are two types of important organic reactions and the corresponding products of sulfoxides, sulfones and epoxides are widely used as raw materials in industrial processes.

Revisiting the composition dependence of the properties of water-dimethyl sulfoxide liquid mixtures. Molecular dynamics computer simulations [PDF]
We have revisited the composition dependence of principal properties of liquid water-DMSO mixtures by using the isobaric-isothermal molecular dynamics computer simulations. A set of non-polarizable semi-flexible models for the DMSO molecule combined with the TIP4P-2005 and TIP4P/$\varepsilon$ water models is considered.

Degradation of lansoprazole and omeprazole in the aquatic environment [PDF]
Lansoprazole and omeprazole degrade in water leading to sulfides, benzimidazolones and a red complex material. Degradation is accelerated in acid medium and by solar simulator irradiation.

On the properties of a single OPLS-UA model curcumin molecule in water, methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. Molecular dynamics computer simulation results [PDF]
The properties of model solutions consisting of a solute --- single curcumin molecule in water, methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide solvents have been studied using molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations in the isobaric-isothermal ensemble. The united atom OPLS force field (OPLS-UA) model for curcumin molecule proposed by us recently [J. Mol.
