The reductive decyanation reaction: chemical methods and synthetic applications

The reductive decyanation reaction: an overview and recent developments

This review presents an overview of the reductive decyanation reaction with a special interest for recent developments. This transformation allows synthetic chemists to take advantages of the nitrile functional group before its removal. Mechanistic details and applications to organic synthesis are provided.

Mathematical Methods for Modeling Chemical Reaction Networks

Cancer's cellular behavior is driven by alterations in the processes that cells use to sense and respond to diverse stimuli. Underlying these processes are a series of chemical processes (enzyme-substrate, protein-protein, etc.). Here we introduce a set of mathematical techniques for describing and characterizing these processes.

Sequential Methods and Their Applications

Novel Methods for Learning and Adaptation in Chemical Reaction Networks

State-of-the-art biochemical systems for medical applications and chemical computing are application-specific and cannot be re-programmed or trained once fabricated. The implementation of adaptive biochemical systems that would offer flexibility through programmability and autonomous adaptation faces major challenges because of the large number of required chemical species as well as the timing...

Concept and Applications of Extents in Chemical Reaction Systems

Models of chemical reaction systems can be quite complex as they need to include information regarding the reactions and the transfer of mass and heat. The commonly used state variables—concentrations and temperatures—describe the interplay between many phenomena. As a consequence, each state variable is affected by several rate processes. On the other hand, it is well known that it is possible...
