V-D-J rearrangement of the TCR-beta chain follows the 12/23 rule and the beyond 12/23 restriction. Currently, the proportion and characteristics of TCR-beta chain V-J rearrangement is unclear. We used high-throughput sequencing to compare and analyze TCR-beta chain V-J rearrangement and V-D-J rearrangement in the CDR3 repertoires of T cells from the PBMCs of six volunteers and six BALB/c mice. ...

Reductive Claisen rearrangement of 1-allyloxy-8-methoxy-9, 10-anthraquinone followed by demethylation and reduction, and of 1,8-bisallyloxy-9,lO-anthraquinone followed by reduction provides regiospecific syntheses of 2-propyl- and 2,7-dipropyl anthralin

rearrangement of propargyl amine salt, in the presence of a base was studied and it was concluded that this occurs through an allenic intermediate.

The molecular mechanism of the thermal rearrangement of singlet 1H-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexa-3,5-dien-2-one to give triplet 4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene has been investigated using density functional theory (B3LYP and M05-2X functionals) as well as ab initio CASSCF and CASPT2 multiconfigurational methods. The reactant has a singlet ground state while the product can be found in three low lying elect...

The Stevens and Sommelet–Hauser rearrangement of ammonium ylides are known as useful transformations for organic synthesis because they convert a readily accessible C–N bond into a new C–C bond. The Stevens rearrangement has been widely used for the asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives, whereas the Sommelet–Hauser rearrangement is much less common because the Sommelet–Hauser rearran...

Direct heating of a metal-organic framework provides a simple, controllable way of effecting a covalent post-synthetic modification. Herein we report that an allyloxy-tagged zinc metal-organic framework undergoes a thermally-promoted aromatic Claisen rearrangement through which the framework connectivity and porosity are maintained.

The thermal rearrangement reactions of cis-pinane, 1, and trans-pinane, 2, into beta-citronellene, 3, and isocitronellene, 4, have been investigated using ab initio multiconfigurational CASSCF and CASSCF MP2 calculations. Concerted as well as stepwise retro-[2+2]-cycloaddition conversion mechanisms are discussed and the corresponding stationary points along the relevant reaction paths from the ...
