Chiral tertiary alcohols are important building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents and biologically active natural products. The addition carbon nucleophiles to ketones is most common approach alcohol but traditionally relies on stoichiometric organometallic reagents that difficult prepare, sensitive, uneconomical. We describe a mild efficient method copper-catalyzed allylation using widely available 1,3-dienes as allylmetal surrogates. Homoallylic bearing wide range...
An efficient method for sterically demanding Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions has been developed with two catalysts, Pd/BI-DIME (see scheme) and Pd/phenanthrene-based ligand. The catalyst facilitates the syntheses of extremely hindered biaryls bearing ortho-isopropyl substituents. other is synthesis functionalized tetra-ortho-substituted at low loadings. As a service to our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors. Such materials are peer reviewed...
Abstract Recently, CuH‐catalyzed reductive coupling processes involving carbonyl compounds and imines have become attractive alternatives to traditional methods for stereoselective addition because of their ability use readily accessible stable olefins as surrogates organometallic nucleophiles. However, the inability aldehydes, which usually reduce too rapidly in presence copper hydride complexes be viable substrates, has been a major limitation. Shown here is that by exploiting relative...
The intestinal mucus barrier is an important line of defense against gut pathogens. Damage to this brings bacteria into close contact with the epithelium, leading inflammation. Therefore, its restoration a promising strategy for alleviating This study showed that
Molecular dynamics simulation is a powerful tool for characterizing the solution structural ensembles of cyclic peptides. However, ability to recapitulate experimental results and make accurate predictions largely depends on force fields used. In our work here, we evaluate performance seven state-of-the-art in recapitulating NMR water 12 benchmark peptides, consisting 6 pentapeptides, 4 hexapeptides, 2 heptapeptides. The show that RSFF2+TIP3P, RSFF2C+TIP3P, Amber14SB+TIP3P exhibit similar...
Abstract Bulky P,PO ligands were designed to inhibit isomerization and reduction side reactions during the cross coupling between sterically hindered aryl halides alkylboronic acids. Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐couplings di‐ ortho ‐substituted bromides acyclic secondary acids have been achieved with high yields.

Abstract Rapid development of antisense therapies can enable on-demand responses to new viral pathogens and make personalized medicine for genetic diseases practical. Antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are promising candidates fill such a role, but their challenging synthesis limits widespread application. To rapidly prototype potential PMO drug candidates, we report fully automated flow-based oligonucleotide synthesizer. Our optimized platform reduces coupling times by...
The utilization of diphenyl sulfoxides as versatile electrophilic coupling partners for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction via C–S bond cleavage was successfully developed under palladium-N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis. reactions showed good functional group compatibility, proceeded well mild conditions, and provided biaryls in yields up to 96%. A wide range useful groups, such fluoro, chloro, ether, hydroxyl, amide, cyano, keto, trimethylsilyl (TMS), ester were tolerated conditions; however, use...
Application of raw starch-degrading enzymes (RSDEs) in starch processing for biofuel production can effectively reduce energy consumption and costs. RSDEs are generally produced by filamentous fungi, such as Penicillium oxalicum, but with very low yields, which seriously hampers industrialization processing. Breeding assisted random mutagenesis is an efficient way to improve fungal enzyme production.A total 3532 P. oxalicum colonies were generated after multiple rounds mutagenesis,...

Abstract Species from the genus Talaromyces produce useful biomass-degrading enzymes and secondary metabolites. However, these metabolites are still poorly understood have not been explored in depth because of a lack comprehensive genetic information. Here, we report 36.51-megabase genome assembly pinophilus strain 1–95, with coverage nine scaffolds eight chromosomes telomeric repeats at their ends circular mitochondrial DNA. In total, 13,472 protein-coding genes were predicted. Of these,...
Soil fungi produce a wide range of chemical compounds and enzymes with potential for applications in medicine biotechnology. Cellular processes soil are highly dependent on the regulation under environmentally induced stress, but most underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Previous work identified key GATA-type transcription factor, Penicillium oxalicum NsdD (PoxNsdD; also called POX08415), that regulates expression cellulase xylanase genes P. PoxNsdD shares 57 to 64% identity activator NsdD,...

Antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have yet to translate the clinic because of poor cellular uptake, limited solubility, and rapid elimination. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) covalently attached PNAs may facilitate clinical development by improving uptake into cells.
