Introducing the Cis‐2,3‐Bis(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl Chemotype: Late‐Stage Installation and Stereoelectronic Properties

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
The cis‐2,3‐bis(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl chemotype is introduced. The steric demand of this motif is intermediate between that of the heptafluoroisopropyl and prefluorotertbutyl groups; yet, it induces significantly less lipophilicity than these due to its facial polarity.

Ultraviolet absorbing compounds provide a rapid response mechanism for UV protection in some reef fish. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The external mucus surface of reef fish contains ultraviolet absorbing compounds (UVAC), most prominently Mycosporine-like Amino Acids (MAAs). MAAs in the external mucus of reef fish are thought to act as sunscreens by preventing the damaging effects of ...
