Direct incorporation of azide groups into RNA oligonucleotides by in vitro transcription reactions in the presence of a new azide-modified UTP analogue, and subsequent posttranscriptional chemical labeling of azide-modified oligoribonucleotide transcripts by click and Staudinger reactions are described. This postsynthetic labeling protocol is robust and modular, and offers an alternative access...

Selective syntheses of leuconolam, leuconoxine, and mersicarpine alkaloids bearing distinctive core structures were achieved through Staudinger reactions using a common intermediate. In the key cyclization step, water functioned like a switch to control which core structure to produce. The chemistry allowed for selective syntheses of the group of alkaloids from a simple intermediate through str...

Dinucleosides containing a thiazolidin-4-one linkage were prepared by one-pot tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig/intermolecular cyclization under microwave irradiation and their structures were confirmed. Preliminary examination of HIV-RT inhibition showed that the dinucleosides containing (R)-thiazolidin-4-one linkage are significantly more active than those containing (S)-thiazolidin-4-one linkage.

Morphological identification of the majority Zygaenidae species in Eastern Mediterranean Region Turkey was undertaken and a phylogenetic tree these generated. Sampling performed between May September 2017 2018 Adana, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Mersin Osmaniye Provinces. This area is zoogeographical junction central Anatolia Levant. The were collected by sweep net visual control methods. Thirteen ide...

The azide moiety is a desirable functionality in organic molecules, useful in a variety of transformations such as olefin aziridination, C-H bond amination, isocyanate synthesis, the Staudinger reaction and the formation of azo compounds. To harness the versatility of the azide functionality fully it is important that these compounds be easy to prepare, in a clean and cost-effective manner. Con...
