BACKGROUND Trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (trans-Hyp), one of the hydroxyproline (Hyp) isomers, is a useful chiral building block in the production of many pharmaceuticals. Although there are some natural biosynthetic pathways of trans-Hyp existing in microorganisms, the yield is still too low to be scaled up for industrial applications. Until now the production of trans-Hyp is mainly from the acid ...

The double Bingel reaction of fullerene C60 with bismalonates attached to a Tröger base derived tether afforded trans-1, trans-2, trans-3, and trans-4 bisadducts with excellent regioselectivity. In particular, enantiomerically pure bisadducts with inherently chiral trans-2 or trans-3 addition patterns were prepared starting from enantiomerically pure bismalonates. The absolute configuration of ...

catalytic osmylation of cis and trans 2-cyclohexene-cyclohexanol (1a) and (1b) are carried out in the presence of n-methyl morpholine-n-oxide. under the same conditions, only the cis isomer reacted, leading to triol (3). the steric hindrance of the equatorial oh group probably prevents the trans isomer from entering into such reaction. triol (3) was also obtained from the reduction of the diol-...

The rotational spectrum of trans-cinnamaldehyde ((E)-3-phenyl-2-propenal, C9H8O) was recorded by chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in the frequency range of 2-8.5 GHz. The odourant molecule is the essential component of cinnamon oil and causes the characteristic smell. The rotational signatures of two conformers were observed: s-trans-trans- and s-cis-trans-cinnamaldehyde. ...

The diastereo- and enantioselective microbial oxidation of a mixture of racemic cis/trans-chrysanthemols to the corresponding stereoisomeric chrysanthemic acids by Aspergillus species is described. Of the three microorganisms which were found capable of oxidizing racemic cis/trans-chrysanthemols, A. ochraceus ATCC 18500 showed complete enantioselectivity for (+)-stereoisomers [(+)-trans-chrysan...

The stoichiometric reaction of cis-[Pd(ITMe)2(SiR3)2], where (SiR3 = SiMe3 and SiMe2Ph ITMe 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) with allyl bromide affords the corresponding allylsilanes along complexes type trans-[Pd(ITMe)2(SiR3)(Br)]. structure trans-[Pd(ITMe)2(SiMe2Ph)Br] 2b has been determined in solid state displays a slightly distorted square-planar geometry two N-heterocyclic carbene l...
