Baker’s yeast catalyzed Henry reaction: Biocatalytic C-C bond formation

The C-C bond formation is an important reaction in organic synthesis to obtain value-added intermediates. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to accelerate the Henry reaction (C-C bond formation) between aryl aldehydes and nitromethane using less expensive whole cell biocatalyst, baker’s yeast (BY). The scope of the methodology was also tested for the heteryl aldehyde i.e. 2-chlor...

Assimilatory sulfate reduction in C(3), C(3)-C(4), and C(4) species of Flaveria.

The activity of the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of sulfate assimilation, ATP sulfurylase and adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APR), are confined to bundle sheath cells in several C(4) monocot species. With the aim to analyze the molecular basis of this distribution and to determine whether it was a prerequisite or a consequence of the C(4) photosynthetic mechanism, we compared ...

1′-Methyl-2,2′′-dioxoindoline-3-spiro-2′-pyrrolidine-3′-spiro-3′′-indoline-4′,4′-di­carbonitrile

In the title compound, C(21)H(15)N(5)O(2), the pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation. Both the oxindole rings are planar [maximum deviations of 0.076 (1) and 0.029 (1) Å in the two rings] and are oriented at a dihedral angle of 72.7 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯O, N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
