Amatoxins are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified bicyclic octapeptides biosynthesized by the deadly basidiomycete fungus Amanita phalloides. Amongst this group, alpha-amanitin is the most widely known toxin and is currently under inv ...
Liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation of phenol over silica-supported MoOx-ReOx catalysts was investigated at 300 degrees C and 5 MPa of H-2. Mixed-oxides catalysts with similar surface metal density (2.3 atoms of metal per nm(2) of SiO2) but different relative ...
When 3-fluoro- and 3-chloro-1,2-didehydrobenzenes are generated in the presence of 2-(trimethylsilyl)furan, two regioisomeric cycloadducts are formed in a 1:2 ratio. However, regioselectivity can be installed by fitting one bulky trimethylsilyl group into ...
Reduction of CO2 by electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods to produce carbon-rich fuels is a heavily pursued research theme. Most of the current efforts are focused on the development of transition-metal-based catalysts. In this tutorial review, ...
2,4-Difluoropyridine, 2,4-dichloropyridine, 2,4,6-trifluoropyridine, 2,4,6-trichloropyridine and 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoropyridine react with std. nucleophiles exclusively at the 4-position under halogen displacement. However, the regioselectivity can be complet ...
The use of tethers allows to overcome reactivity and selectivity issues often encountered with intermolecular reactions. Although tethers have been successfully applied for decades, their installation and removal usually requires additional steps. This min ...
