1. The envelopes of etioplasts and 1-2h etiochloroplasts are permeable to mevalonate, but plastids from etiolated tissue illuminated for longer than 4h show progressive impermeability towards mevalonate. 2. Acetate permeates the envelopes of 1-4h etiochloroplasts but does not significantly cross the envelopes of etioplasts or 8-24h etiochloroplasts. 3. A translocator system exists within the pl...

An efficient one-pot synthesis of functionalized 2-amino-4H-pyrans by a meglumine-catalyzed three-component reaction has been developed. A broad range of substrates including aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, isatin derivatives, and acenaphthenequinone are condensed with enolizable C-H activated compounds and alkylmalonates to give the desired products in high to excellent yields. This met...

An efficient metal-free oxidative arylsulfonylation of α,β-unsaturated imides with sulfonylhydrazides leading to isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-dione derivatives has been developed. The procedure involves the generation of sulfonyl radicals via cleavage of the S-N bond of sulfonylhydrazides with sulfonylation and C-H functionalization. The protocol uses the economical and environmentally friendly TBAI...

Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), energy levels of the carbon vacancy (V(C)) in 4H-SiC and its negative-U properties have been determined. Combining EPR and deep-level transient spectroscopy we show that the two most common defects in as-grown 4H-SiC--the Z(1/2) lifetime-limiting defect and the EH(7) deep defect--are related to the double acceptor (2-|0) and single donor (0|+) levels...

An efficient directed Claisen reaction between tert-butyl propionate and phenyl propionate is described. This enables a practical synthesis of 6-ethyl-2,2,5-trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one and thereby (Z)-[(4-ethylidene-2,2,5-trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-6-yl)oxy]trimethylsilane, a key building block in our synthesis of macrolide antibiotics. The three-step route elaborated for the preparation of the ...

The heterogeneous integration with 2D materials enables new functionalities and novel devices in state-of-the-art bulk (3D) semiconductors. In this work, highly uniform MoS2 heterostructures silicon carbide (4H-SiC) are obtained by a facile synthesis method, compatible semiconductor fab processing, i.e., the sulfurization of predeposited very-thin (≈1.2 nm) Mo films at temperature 700 °C. Curre...

In this letter, the uniform 4H silicon carbide (SiC) mesopores was fabricated by pulsed electrochemical etching method. The length of the mesopores is about 19 μm with a diameter of about 19 nm. The introduction of pause time (T off) is crucial to form the uniform 4H-SiC mesopores. The pore diameter will not change if etching goes with T off. The hole concentration decreasing at the pore tips d...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(15)H(9)FO(3), inversely oriented mol-ecules form inversion dimers through pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The benzene ring is twisted at an angle of 12.0 (1)° relative to the 4H-chromene skeleton of the mol-ecule. Adjacent 4H-chromene units are parallel in a given column or oriented at an angle of 50.0 (1)° in neighboring, inversely oriented, col...

In the title compound, C16H12O4, the substituent benzene ring and meth-oxy group are twisted relative to the 4H-chromene skeleton by 24.1 (1) and 61.3 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by classical O-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to [201]. The 4H-chromene ring systems of adjacent mol-ecules are either parallel or inclined at an angle of 28...
