Greener aminolysis of epoxides on BiCl3/SiO2

Greener light on GM crops

A new study of a number of specific GM crops over several years in rotation with conventional crops has found no evidence that they may be more harmful to the environment, in terms of the reservoir of weed seeds important for much wildlife, than conventional varieties alone. The findings of the Botanical and Rotational Implications of Genetically Modified Herbicide Tolerance (Bright) project in...

Antibody-catalyzed aminolysis of a chloropyrimidine derivative.

We have generated antibody FTB8E9 by immunization with the designed hapten to catalyze the aminolysis reaction of a chloropyrimidine derivative.

Aminolysis of Dicationic Ruthenium Thiophene Complexes

Dicationic sandwich complexes containing thiophene, 2-methylthiophene7 2,5-dimethylthiophene, and tetramethylthiophene react with ammonia to give salts of the formula [(ring)Ru(SC4R4NH2)lX where ring = CsMe6 or cymene. The thiophene, 2-methylthiophene, and 2,5-dimethylthiophene complexes undergo C-S cleavage to give iminium-thiolato derivatives. In the case of the 2,5-dimethylthiophene complex,...

Aminolysis of selected methylpyrimidines in protic solvents

Crystallographic data analyses indicate that three types of prolinium cations, along with two types of hydrogen bonding, produce and stabilize the helical structure of triprolinium 12-phosphomolybdate. There are similarities between this organic-inorganic compound and peptides/proteins. The stronger “conventional” hydrogen bonds and the less common C-H…O attractions play critical roles in gener...
