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...

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...

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...

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,...
