NMR-Based Structural Analysis of Highly Substituted Pyridines From Kondrat'eva Aza-Diels-Alder Cycloadditions. [PDF]
We report the results from a kinetic and mechanistic investigation of an inverse‐electron‐demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition involving an oxazole‐type diene synthesized via an Ugi–Zhu multicomponent reaction (UZ‐3CR). ABSTRACT Pyridines are a crucial class of heterocycles with widespread applications in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and ...

Development of cytosine and adenine base editors for maize precision breeding. [PDF]
A series of maize cytosine and adenine base editors was developed using various deaminase variants, enabling efficient multiplex genome editing in maize. Precise editing of the ZmACC1/2 genes generated herbicide‐tolerant maize germplasm, offering a solution for weed management in maize‐soybean intercropping systems.
