Resolving complex systems: The formation of a dynamic hemithioacetal system and its application toward the discovery β-galactosidase inhibitors were successfully investigated. designed system, which has virtual character in neutral aqueous media, was subjected to direct situ identification best by 1H STD NMR spectroscopy (ONPG: o-nitrophenyl-β-galactopyranoside).
With the advancement of ecological and environmental protection construction, research on modification expansive soil using environmentally friendly polymers can make up for harm to environment caused by traditional modification. Mechanical microscopic properties modified soils were analyzed through indoor tests.

Organotin-mediated regioselective protection has been extensively used in organic synthesis for many years. However, the mechanistic origin of resulting regioselectivity is still not clear. By comparison steric and stereoelectronic effects controlling geometry five-membered rings formed from neighboring group participation, intramolecular acyl migration, or orthoester transesterification on pyranoside rings, a theory pattern reaction with dibutyltin oxide presented. It thus suggested that...
The presence of surfaces influences the kinetics amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide fibrillation. Although it has been generally recognized that fibrillation process can be assisted or accelerated by surface chemistry, impact topography, i.e., roughness, on is relatively little understood.

This approach represents first transition‐metal catalysts that are able replace stoichiometric amounts organotin reagents in regioselective alkylation....

Organosilicon-mediated, regioselective acetylation of vicinal- and 1,3-diols is presented. Methyl trimethoxysilane or dimethyl dimethoxysilane was first used to form cyclic 1,3,2-dioxasilolane 1,3,2-dioxasilinane intermediates, subsequent acetate-catalyzed monoacylation efficiently performed by addition acetic anhydride acetyl chloride under mild conditions. The reaction exhibited high regioselectivity, resulting in the same protection pattern as organotin-mediated schemes.
