The dynamics, structures, and functions of most biological molecules are strongly influenced by the nature of the peptide's or protein's interaction with water. Here, cryogenic ion mobility-mass spectrometry studies of ubiquitin have directly captured a water-mediated protein-protein binding event involving hydrated, noncovalently bound dimer ions in solution, and this interaction has potential...

beta-Aryl eliminations from a series of iminyl complexes to form rhodium aryl complexes and free nitriles are reported. Iminyl complexes [Rh(PEt3)3(N=CArAr')] were prepared from [Rh(COE)Cl]2, PEt3, LiN(SiMe3)2, and the imines HN=CArAr'. One example of these complexes was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Heating of these complexes in cyclohexane generated the rhodium aryl complexes and free n...

The optimized experimental parameters of degradation obtained with a four-factor at three-level orthogonal array experimental design L18(3) were temperature, rotation speed, inoculum size and liquid level by Corynebacterium variabile in the shaking bottle as 33 , 22h after shaking at the same temperature and 120 rpm for 14h, 4%, 80mL in 150mL triangle bottle, respectively. Among four factors, l...

14-aryl- and 14-alkyl-14-h-dibenzo [a,j]xanthenes are prepared from the reaction of aromatic- and aliphaticaldehydes with β-naphthol in the presence of catalytic amounts of 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(dbsa) as asurfactant-type brønsted acid catalyst in toluene and under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields and shortreaction times. the catalyst was recovered and reused for five successi...

Boron complexes of [14]triphyrins(2.1.1) were prepared from free-base [14]triphyrins(2.1.1) with phenylboron dichloride. The absorption spectrum of the meso-free β-alkyl-triphyrin boron complex in CH2Cl2 showed a broad weak band at around 640 nm assigned to transition from B-phenyl to the triphyrin, while that of the meso-aryl benzotriphyrin boron complex showed only Soret and Q bands.

In the structure of the title compound, C(12)H(14)N(2)O(3), the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and the aryl substitutent occupies an equatorial position.

Five new 2,9,9-trimethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-benzocyclohepten-5-ylidene-amine derivatives (16a-16e) were synthesized from α-dehydro-ar-himachalene (11) that was originally prepared from an isomeric mixture of α, β and γ himachalenes (10), the abundant sesquiterpenes of Cedrus deodara essential oil. In addition, different aryl himachalenes derivatives (9, 12, 14 and 15) were also formed from 11. ...
