We report here a chemoselective peptide "stapling" method that can be performed on ligand-receptor complexes in situ. An appropriately structured macrocyclic bis-oxime linkage is shown to improve the affinity of a peptide ligand for its native protein receptor. The presence of the receptor as a template to preorganize the ligand into its bioactive conformation is found to bias reaction outcomes...

Copper complexes of the phenolic oxime family of ligands (3-X-salicylaldoximes) are used extensively as metal solvent extractants. Incorporation of electronegative substituents in the 3-position, ortho to the phenol group, can be used to buttress the interligand H-bonding, leading to an enhancement in extractant strength. However, investigation of the relevant H-bonding in these complexes can b...

Tada! Highly functionalized chiral dibenzazepinones are obtained by a mild palladium(0)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H arylation with excellent selectivities by using simple taddol phosphoramidite ligands. The amide tether allows exclusive regioselectivity through a rare eight-membered palladacycle intermediate.

A palladacycle-catalyzed tandem Heck-intramolecular aza-Michael reaction protocol has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of 1-substituted isoindolines from N-unprotected 2-bromobenzylamines and acrylates with high yields.

A structure-activity analysis was used to evaluate the variation in oxime efficacy of 2-PAM, obidoxime, HI-6 and ICD585 against nerve agents. In vivo oxime protection and in vitro oxime reactivation were used as indicators of oxime efficacy against VX, sarin, VR and cyclosarin. Analysis of in vivo oxime protection was conducted with oxime protective ratios (PR) from guinea pigs receiving oxime ...

Cobalt(ll) and gold(lll) react with 2,4-dihydroxy acetophenone oxime (RPO) formi ng yellowish brown and greyish green coloured soluble complexes respectively. The reactions are very slow but become fast in the presence of K2SPxThis may be due to the enhancement of aerial oxidation of metal complexes wi th RPO in their lower oxidation states (Co(! I), Au( III )) to coloured complexes with higher...
