The Cover Feature shows light-driven hydrogen evolution mediated by cobalt(II) tripodal iminopyridine complexes, using tri(n-butyl)triazatriagulenium (TATA+) as the organic sensitizer and triethylamine (TEA) sacrificial donor in aqueous acetonitrile. activity of complexes depends highly on electronic properties substituents pyridine moieties. Under acidified conditions, for H2 production was en...

An engineered variant of subtilisin BPN', termed subtiligase, which efficiently ligates esterified peptides in aqueous solution, was used for the complete synthesis of ribonuclease (RNase) A that contains unnatural catalytic residues. Fully active RNase A (124 residues long) was produced in milligram quantities by stepwise ligation of six esterified peptide fragments (each 12 to 30 residues lon...

Ring a ding: The first catalytic enantioselective total synthesis of the meroterpenoid natural product (+)-liphagal is disclosed. The approach showcases a variety of technology including enantioselective enolate alkylation, a photochemical alkyne-alkene [2+2] reaction, microwaveassisted metal catalysis, and an intramolecular aryne capture cyclization reaction. Pivotal to the successful completi...

A novel and straightforward synthetic protocol for the efficient construction of 3',5'-dihydro-1H-spiro[benzo[d]oxepine-2,4'-imidazoles] through a copper(I)-catalyzed reaction between 2-(2-ethynylphenyl)oxirane, sulfonyl azide, and 2-isocyanoacetate is described.

The parallel solution-phase synthesis of more than 2200 7-trifluoromethyl-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine carboxamides on a 50-100-mg scale has been accomplished. Key reactions include assembly of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ring by condensation of 5-aminopyrazole derivatives with the corresponding trifluoromethyl-beta-diketones. The libra...

An efficient and facile method for the synthesis of substituted imidazoles (10a-10g) has been reported by reacting aldehydes (1–7), benzil (8) ammonium acetate [9] in presence reuseable solid acid catalyst viz. Rice Husk Ash.SO3H (RHA.SO3H) at room temperature. The homogeneity compounds was confirmed melting point thin layer chromatography. All synthesized were characterized 1H NMR FTIR spectra...

The title compound, C19H17Cl3N2O3, has been prepared in a cyclo-condensation reaction between 2,3,5-tri-chloro-benzaldehye and 4-acetyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazole. The cyclo-hexenone ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom substituted by the tri-chloro-phenyl ring as the flap. The mutually trans ester and aryl substituents both occupy equatorial sites. In the crystal, a combination of N...
