We introduce a development of next generation quantum theory atoms in molecules (NG-QTAIM) for an investigation the chirality ethane. A new isomer type Qσ is discovered addition to Sσ and Rσ stereoisomers stress tensor trajectory Uσ-space. The defined be ‘null-isomer’ since value chirality-helicity function ≈ 0. presence chiral contributions suggests that steric effects, rather than hyper-conju...

L-threo-3-Fluoroglutamate and L-erythro-3-fluoroglutamate were tested with glutamate decarboxylase from Escherichia coli. Both isomers were substrates: the threo isomer was decarboxylated into optically active 4-amino-3-fluorobutyrate, whereas the erythro isomer lost the fluorine atom during the reaction, yielding succinic semialdehyde after hydrolysis of the unstable intermediate enamine. The ...

2,4-dithiouracil (DTU) forms in the crystals the H-bonded monohydrates of a 1:1:1 ratio with 18-crown-6 (18C6) 1, cis,syn,cis-isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH6A) 2, and benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) 3, while the anhydrous adduct with cis,anti,cis-isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH6B) 4 is of a 2:1 ratio. In 1-3 the components reproducibly alternate in the chains, while in 4 the chains ar...

The CO3 molecule is considered an important reaction intermediate in the atmospheres of Earth and Mars for quenching electronically excited oxygen atoms and in contributing to the anomalous 18O isotope enrichment. The geometry of the CO3 intermediate plays an important role in explaining these effects; however, only the cyclic (C(2v)) isomer has been experimentally confirmed so far. Here, we re...

Photoelectron spectra of cold (10 K) size selected water cluster anions (H(2)O)(n) (-) and (D(2)O)(n) (-) have been measured in the size range n=20-120. A new isomer with a higher binding energy than the so-called isomer I has been identified, which appears in the size range n=25-30 and for (H(2)O)(n) (-) becomes dominant at n=46. Magic numbers observed in the mass spectra of the cluster anions...

Semisynthesis studies starting from (11Z)-1',2'-didehydrostemofoline (4) indicated that the known Stemona alkaloid stemoburkilline is the Z-isomer and not the E-isomer as initially reported. The semisynthesis involved conversion of (11Z)-1',2'-didehydrostemofoline (4) to 11(S),12(S)-dihydrostemofoline (3) followed by a stereoselective base-catalyzed ring-opening reaction to give (Z)-stemoburkil...

The synthesis and antibacterial activity of the title compounds having an isoxazolidine ring at the C-2 position are described. These derivatives were synthesized by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrone with 2-vinyl carbapenems. This 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction proceeded regioselectively to give diastereomeric isomers of 2(-isoxazolidin-5-yl)carbapenems. It was ascertained t...

prepared, and the absolute configurations of the enantiomers were determined by an X-ray analysis. The insecticidal activity against the housefly measured with metabolic inhibitors showed the (S) enantiomer to be slightly more active than the (R) isomer. ElectrophysioIogical measurements o" the American cockroach central nerve cord showed the compounds to elicite the impulses and subseqttently ...
