Origins of stereoselectivity in the α-alkylation of chiral hydrazones.
Density functional theory calculations and experiment reveal the origin of stereoselectivity in the deprotonation-alkylation of chiral N-amino cyclic carbamate (ACC) hydrazones. When the ACC is a rigid, camphor-derived carbamate, the two conformations of the azaenolate intermediate differ in energy due to conformational effects within the oxazolidinone ring and steric interactions between the A...
متن کاملStereoselectivity in DNA-templated organic synthesis and its origins.
DNA-templated synthesis is a surprisingly general strategy for controlling chemical reactivity that enables synthetic products to be manipulated in ways previously available only to biological macromolecules. The chiral nature of the DNA template raises the possibility that DNA-templated synthesis can proceed stereoselectively. Here, we show that DNA-templated substitution reactions can exhibit...
متن کاملEvolved Irrationality? Equity and the Origins of Human Economic Behavior
While the economic approach to human decision-making characterizes our choices in terms of how we maximize utility, in many cases, such an approach fails to predict the decisions we actually make. Specifically, preference-biases such as loss-aversion and reference-dependence demonstrate that decision-makers make relative (rather than absolute) comparisons in judging the quality of their rewards...
متن کاملOrigins of the mycoplasmas: sterol-nonrequiring mycoplasmas evolved from streptococci.
We report the establishment of a phylogenetic relationship between the sterol-nonrequiring mycoplasmas (Acholeplasma species) and streptococci. Three specific antisera prepared against purified Streptococcus faecalis fructose diphosphate aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and Pediococcus cerevisiae glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were used for comparative enzyme immu...
متن کاملPractical chiral alcohol manufacture using ketoreductases.
Over the past two years the application of ketoreductases in the commercial synthesis of chiral alcohols has undergone a revolution. Biocatalysts are now often the preferred catalyst for the synthesis of chiral alcohols via ketone reduction and are displacing reagents and chemocatalysts that only recently were considered break-through process solutions themselves. Tailor-made enzymes can now be...
