The catalytic decarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids provides an alternative route to generate aryl metal species in situ without using organometallic compounds. Herein, a cationic iridium-catalyzed through CO2 extrusion is described. substrate scope broad, and the reaction proceeds even presence various functional groups. Additionally, potential utility was demonstrated decarboxylative h...

The pathway of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis was initiated by the enzyme DAHP synthase. In this branched biosynthetic pathway phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan are produced. This enzyme was repressed and inhibited by three said end product of aromatic amino acids. The importance of this enzyme is microbial fermentation of aromatic amino acid production. The present study envisaged the i...

1H NMR spectra were recorded of methanolic extracts of seven soybean varieties (Glycine max.), cultivated using traditional and organic farming techniques. It was possible to identify signals belonging to the groups of amino acids, carbohydrates, organic acids and aromatic substances in the spectra. In the aromatic zone, the isoflavone signals were of particular interest: genistein, daidzein, g...

The four aromatic amino acids in proteins, namely histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, have strongly overlapping (13)C chemical shift ranges between 100 and 160ppm, and have so far been largely neglected in solid-state NMR determination of protein structures. Yet aromatic residues play important roles in biology through π-π and cation-π interactions. To better resolve and assign ...
