We report a chemical lipidation model for the study of protein lipidations in vitro and in live mammalian cells based on a bioorthogonal, photoinduced tetrazole-alkene cycloaddition reaction.

A (perarylcyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(VI) dioxo complex is shown to catalyse epoxidation of cyclooctene by t-butylhydroperoxide, but decomposition to a much more active non-cyclopentadienyl containing catalyst occurs as the reaction proceeds.

a two-dimensional nanolayered polyoxomolybdate, [4,4´-h2bipy] [mo7o22].h2o (1), where 4,4´-bipy = 4,4´-bipyridine, was prepared and characterized by ft-ir and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray single crystal and powder diffraction (xrd), and thermogravimetric analysis. the catalytic performance of 1 was assessed in the epoxidation of some olefins em...

Here, we focused on a simple enzymatic epoxidation of alkenes using lipase and phenylacetic acid. The immobilised Candida antarctica lipase B, Novozym 435 was used to catalyse the formation of peroxy acid instantly from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and phenylacetic acid. The peroxy phenylacetic acid generated was then utilised directly for in situ oxidation of alkenes. A variety of alkenes were oxi...

an important property that has been extensively studied in quantitative structure activityrelationship (qsar) is the chromatographic retention index. qsar study is suggested for theprediction of retention index of alkanes and alkenes compounds. modeling of the retention indexof alkanes and alkenes compounds as a function of molecular structures was established bydifferent chemometrics methods. ...

A convenient synthesis of sidechain-modified phytosterols is achieved via a temporary masking of the stigmasterol 5,6-alkene as an epoxide. Following performance of the desired modification, the alkene is regenerated through a mild deoxygenation. The approach is applied to the syntheses of β-sitosterol and campesterol acetate, and suggests a facile route to the (Z)-isomers of Δ22–23

A new type of stable radical ligand featuring a 1,1-bis-phosphinosulfide alkene backbone has been prepared and characterized on the basis of X-ray diffraction, EPR and DFT studies. CANTAT, Thibault, et al. Synthesis of a stable radical anion via the one electron reduction of a 1,1-bis-phosphinosulfide alkene derivative. Chemical Communications, 2008, no. 7, p.

A homogeneous mixture of Grubbs' catalyst in paraffin wax was shown to catalyze three important types of metathesis reactions: ring-closing metathesis, alkene dimerization, and alkene cross-metathesis (e.g., 11 --> 13). This catalyst preparation demonstrated no loss in catalytic activity after 22 months of storage open to the air.

Epoxidized vegetable oils are the product of vegetable oil epoxidation reactions. Since the epoxidized vegetable oil is a nonpoisonous plasticizer, it has been wildly used in the plastic packaging of food and medicine. Among the various epoxidized vegetable oils, the application of epoxidized soybean oil is broader than others. Nowadays, it’s the third largest category of plasticizers. However,...
