Crystallization-induced diastereoselective transformation (CIDT) of an α-methyl nitrile completes an entirely non-chromatographic synthesis of the halichondrin B C14-C26 stereochemical array. The requisite α-methyl nitrile substrate is derived from D-quinic acid through a series of substrate-controlled stereoselective reactions via a number of crystalline intermediates that benefit from a rigid...

In the title compound, C5HN7, the nitrile and azido substituents are close to being coplanar with the central ring. Mol-ecules in the crystal are linked via an N-H⋯N hydrogen bond to a nitrile acceptor, forming a chain extending along the c-axis direction.

An α-chiral nitrile carbanion generated by deprotonation of enantioenriched O-carbamoyl cyanohydrin was trapped in situ with ethyl cyanoformate to give the corresponding ester derivative in 92% yield and 90 : 10 er, providing the first example of trapping of an α-chiral acyclic nitrile carbanion that has been considered to be very configurationally labile.

An aryl substrate with dual functionality consisting of a nitrile oxide and a pinacolyl boronate ester was prepared by mild hypervalent iodine oxidation (diacetoxyiodobenzene) of the corresponding aldoxime, without decomposition of the boronate functionality. The nitrile oxide was trapped in situ with a variety of dipolarophiles to yield aryl isoxazolines with the boronate ester function intact...

the brass tubes with foam cores of alsi7sic3, alsi7sic3fe1 and alsi7sic3fe3 were produced as the crush-boxes with circle and square cross-section. then axial compressive behavior and energy absorption capability of the foam-filled tubes were investigated during the quasi-static progressive plastic buckling. the uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of the foam-filled brass tubes exhibited t...

Gas phase reactions of mass-selected acylium ions [CH3–C ¢O (1), CH2¢CH–C ¢O (2), C6H5–C ¢O (3), and (CH3)2N–C ¢O (4)] with nitriles (CH3CN, C2H5CN, CH2¢CHCN, and C6H5CN) were investigated using pentaquadrupole multiple-stage mass spectrometry. In analogy with the solution behavior, the ions were found to react readily with benzonitrile by cyclization via double nitrile addition to form aromati...

An efficient synthesis of a range of 1,2-benzisoxazoles using an improved 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides and benzyne is described. Key to the procedure is the in situ generation of the reactive nitrile oxide and benzyne reaction partners mediated by TBAF. Reactions are complete within 30 s, giving the target products in good to excellent yield.

foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. an increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

Nitrile hydratases (NHases) are mononuclear nonheme enzymes that catalyze the hydration of nitriles to amides. NHase is unusual in that it utilizes a low-spin (LS) FeIII center and a unique ligand set comprised of two deprotonated backbone amides, cysteine-based sulfenic acid (RSO(H)) and sulfinic acid (RSO2-), and an unmodified cysteine trans to an exogenous ligand site. Electron paramagnetic ...
