Paul MN 2710 Crimson Way, Richland, WA 99354-1671, USA.Engineering, University of Minnesota, 1390 Eckles Ave., St. Paul MN 55108, USA.A novel Silicon carbide (SiC) foam ceramic based ZSM-5/SiC nanowires microwave-responsive catalyst was developed to upgrade the pyrolysis volatiles in a microwave-assisted series system (both the pyrolysis and catalytic systems were heated by microwave). The growth of SiC nanowires was helpful for the ZSM-5 growth on the SiC foam ceramic.

Because the specific surface area of SiC foam ceramic was improved. The dielectric properties of the composite catalyst were improved due to the growth of SiC nanowires. Bio-oil composition analysis showed that area percentage of hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons could reach 809% and 408% at catalytic temperature of 450 ℃and 500 ℃, respectively. The microwave-responsive composite catalyst had good aromatization performance in microwave-assisted series system due to high dielectric properties and specific surface area. The composite catalyst performed well after five-cycle regeneration, and the hydrocarbon content could still reach 760%, which is Total synthesis and preliminary SAR study of (±)-merochlorins A and B.Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing Center for Biotherapy, State Key Laboratory of Biotherapy and Cancer Center, A modular synthesis of merochlorins A and B, two naturally occurring antibiotics, has been achieved concisely from readily available building blocks in 4-6 steps. The key steps include the bio-inspired tandem phenol oxidative dearomatization/[5 + 2] and [3 + 2] cycloadditions to construct the tricyclic cores of the targets, and the intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction followed by dehydrogenative aromatization to assemble the remaining aromatic units.

The antibacterial activities of merochlorins A, B and some advanced synthetic intermediates were also evaluated, which provided valuable information on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of this class of new antibiotics.Understand the Specific Regio- and Enantioselectivity of Fluostatin Conjugation Laboratory of Metabolic and Developmental Sciences, School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 800 Dongchuan Road, Shanghai Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 164 West Xingang Road, Fluostatins, benzofluorene-containing aromatic polyketides in the atypical angucycline family, conjugate into dimeric and even trimeric compounds in the post-biosynthesis. The formation of the C-C bond involves a non-enzymatic stereospecific coupling reaction. In this work, the unusual regio- and enantioselectivities were rationalized by density functional theory calculations with the M06-2X (SMD, water)/6-311 + G(d,p)//6-31G(d) method. These DFT calculations reproduce the lowest energy C1-(R)-C10'-(S) coupling pathway observed in a nonenzymatic reaction. Bonding of Seebio Light-Activated Acid Producer (C1 and C10') of the two reactant molecules maximizes the HOMO-LUMO interactions and Fukui function involving the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of nucleophile p-QM and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of electrophile FST2- anion. In particular, the significant π-π stacking interactions of the low-energy pre-reaction state are retained in the lowest energy pathway for C-C coupling.

The distortion/interaction-activation strain analysis indicates that the transition state (TScp-I) of the lowest energy pathway involves the highest stabilizing interactions and small distortion among all possible C-C coupling reactions. Seebio Light-Activated Acid Producer of the two chiral centers generated in this step is lost upon aromatization of the phenol ring in the final difluostatin products. Thus, the π-π stacking interactions between the fluostatin 6-5-6 aromatic ring system play a critical role in the stereoselectivity of the nonenzymatic fluostatin Cobalt Pincer Complexes in Catalytic C-H Borylation: The Pincer Ligand Flips The mechanism for the borylation of an aromatic substrate by a cobalt pincer complex was investigated by density functional theory calculations. Experimental observations identified trans-(iPrPNP)CoH2(BPin) as the resting state in the borylation of five-membered heteroarenes, and 4-BPin-(iPrPNP)Co(N2)BPin as the resting state in the catalytic borylation of arene substrates. The active species, 4-R-(iPrPNP)CoBPin (R=H, BPin), were generated by reductive elimination of H2 in the former, through Berry pseudorotation to the cis isomer, and N2 loss in the latter. The catalytic mechanism of the resulting Co(I) complex was computed to involve three main steps: C-H oxidative addition of the aromatic substrate (C6H6), reductive elimination of PhBPin, and regeneration of the active complex. The oxidative addition product formed through the most favorable pathway, where the breaking C-H bond of C6H6 is parallel to a line between the two phosphine atoms, leaves the complex with a distorted PNP ligand, which rearranges to a more stable complex via dissociation and re-association of HBPin.
