Trichlorosilyl triflate-promoted directed cross-aldol reaction between ketones in the presence of a chiral phosphine oxide as an organocatalyst is described. This is the first enantioselective cross-aldol reaction between simple ketones with good enantioselectivity.

A chemical reaction model, suitable for use in the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, is developed to simulate hypervelocity collisions of an important reaction in atmospheric-jet interactions O(3P)+HCl(1Σ ) OH(2Π)+Cl(2P). The model utilizes the Quasi-Classical Trajectory (QCT) method with two potential energy surfaces (PES), new benchmark triple A and A surfaces and London-Eyring-Pol...

the cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides (suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new palladium catalyst (1-benzyl-3-(1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl) pyridin-1-ium palladium chloride [dbnt][pdcl4]) in poly (ethylene glycol) (peg-200) in the presence of koh as the base. this new catalyst was synthesized and characteri...

introduction: proteins play a fundamental role in biological systems and are often sensitive against organic solvents, heat and other damaging factors. proteins are the basic component of food formulations and enhancement the functional characteristics and stability of the proteins has always been the main goal of food industry engineers. one of the natural ways used for protein modifications i...

BACKGROUND α,ω-Difunctional substrates are useful intermediates for polymer synthesis. An attractive, sustainable and selective (but as yet unused) method in the chemical industry is the oleochemical cross-metathesis with preferably symmetric functionalised substrates. The current study explores the cross-metathesis of methyl oleate (1) with cis-2-butene-1,4-diyl diacetate (2) starting from ren...

Olefin cross metathesis on solid support under a variety of conditions is described. A comprehensive analysis considering diverse factors governing the reaction outcome gives a series of patterns for the application of this useful methodology in organic synthesis. If the intrasite reaction is not possible, homodimerization of the soluble olefin is crucial. When the homodimer is less reactive th...

Chalcone synthase (CHS) and stilbene synthase (STS) catalyze different cyclization reactions of the common tetraketide to give different products, naringenin chalcone and resveratrol, respectively. We have previously observed in vitro cross-reaction of CHS and STS overexpressed in Escherichia coli, resveratrol production by CHS and chalcone production by STS. When expressed in eucaryotic cells,...

A model system using RNase A has been established for studying the nonenzymatic glucosylation and glucose-dependent cross-linking of protein (Maillard reaction) under physiological conditions in vitro. The rate of glucosylation of RNase was first order in glucose. Glucosylation was accompanied by a comparable decrease in primary amino groups in the protein and lysine recoverable by amino acid a...
