Enantioenriched 2-aryl azepanes and 2-arylbenzazepines were generated biocatalytically by asymmetric reductive amination using imine reductases or by deracemisation using monoamine oxidases. The amines were converted to the corresponding N'-aryl ureas, which rearranged on treatment with base with stereospecific transfer of the aryl substituent to the 2-position of the heterocycle via a configurationally stable benzyllithium intermediate. The products are previously inaccessible enanti-oenriched 2,2-disubstituted azepanes and benzazepines. Read More

An enantioselective synthetic route to hydroxywilfordic acid, a key subunit of sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids such as wilfortrine, was developed. Asymmetric cyanation using Jacobsen's (R,R)-amino-thiourea and hydrolysis were performed to afford chiral α-hydroxy-α-methyl acid as the (S)-isomer. Naturally derived hydroxywilfordate prepared by methanolysis of wilfortrine was found to be the (R)-isomer upon comparison with the synthetic compound. Read More

A scalable enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-goniomitine has been developed by using an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of exocyclic enone ester to control the configuration of molecule. The synthesis begins from commercially available starting materials, and integrated asymmetric ketone hydrogenation, Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, and one-pot oxidation/deprotection/cyclization process. With this highly efficient and scalable strategy (-)-goniomitine was synthesized in eleven steps with 27% overall yield, and the formal enantioselective synthesis of (+)-1,2-dehydroaspidospermidine, (+)-aspidospermidine and (+)-vincadifformine were also achieved.

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) of the non-human primate show neural firing correlations and synchronize at theta and beta frequencies during the monitoring and shifting of attention. These functional interactions might be based on synaptic connectivity that is equally efficacious in both directions, but it might be that there are systematic asymmetries in connectivity consistent with reports of more effective inhibition within the dACC than lPFC, or with a preponderance of dACC projections synapsing onto inhibitory neurons in the lPFC. Here, we tested effective dACC-lPFC connectivity in awake monkeys and report systematic asymmetries in the temporal patterning and latencies of effective connectivity as measured using electrical microstimulation.

Superchiral light, generated by the interference of two counter-propagating circularly polarized light (CPL) with same frequency, opposite handedness and different intensity, exhibits enhanced dissymmetry in its interaction with chiral molecules, and has the potential for ultrasensitive detection and characterization of chiral molecules. It is anticipated that the enhanced optical dissymmetry in superchiral light (SCL) field may be utilized to promote asymmetric photochemical reactions efficiency. Herein we reported SCL impart greater chiral bias to trigger asymmetric photo-polymerization reaction from initially achiral diacetylene (DA) monomer, and the enhanced optical dissymmetry for whole polydiacetylene (PDA) films could be achieved.

The targetable DNA endonuclease CRISPR-Cas9 has transformed analysis of biological processes by enabling robust genome editing in model and non-model organisms.

Both fully (98%) and partially (88%) hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) are characterized by aqueous gel permeation chromatography (GPC) coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering. Polymer adsorption on hydrophilic GPC columns is observed for partially hydrolyzed PVA but not for fully hydrolyzed PVA, which is driven by the hydrophobic interactions between the residual acetate groups on PVA and the stationary phase. Desorption of these partially hydrolyzed PVA chains from the packing materials is monitored by decay of the light scattering signal. Read More
