We repeat the earliest claimed [2]catenane synthesis, reported by Wasserman over 60 years ago, in order to ascertain whether or not a nontemplate, statistical synthesis acyloin macrocyclization does indeed form mechanically interlocked rings. The lack of direct experimental evidence for Wasserman's catenane has led it being described as "prophetic compound", technical term used patents molecules that have yet been synthesized. Contemporary synthetic methods were reconstruct deuterium-labeled...
JavaScript is the most widely used web language for client-side applications. Whilst development of was initially just led by implementation, there now increasing momentum behind ECMA standardisation process. The time ripe a formal, mechanised specification JavaScript, to clarify ambiguities in standards, serve as trusted reference high-level compilation and implementations, provide platform high-assurance proofs properties.
