An efficient, highly stereocontrolled formal synthesis of (+)-(R)-α-lipoic acid was achieved, which utilizes an l-proline-catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective cross-aldol reaction as the key step.
Abstract Remediation and reuse of discarded plastics can reduce their accumulation in the environment bring energy savings for plastic production. Here we discover a binuclear zinc catalyst that features biomimetic intramolecular pathway polyester depolymerization, which not merely enables environmental degradation PET but also affords industrial-scale recycling under relatively mild conditions. The delivers specific activity 36 mg d -1 g catal toward depolymerization at pH 8 40 o C, very...
