Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Although iminium catalysis has become an important tool in organic chemistry, its combination with supramolecular host systems has remained largely unexplored. We report the detailed investigations into the first example of iminium catalysis inside a supramolecular host. In the case of 1,4-reductions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, catalytic amounts of host are able to increase the enantiomeric excess of the products formed. Several control experiments were performed and provided strong evidence that the modulation of enantiomeric excess of the reaction product indeed stems from a reaction on the inside of the capsule. The origin of the increased enantioselectivity in the capsule was investigated. Furthermore, the substrate and nucleophile scope were studied. Kinetic investigations as well as the kinetic isotope effect measured confirmed that the hydride delivery to the substrate is the rate-determining step inside the capsule. The exploration of benzothiazolidines as alternative hydride sources revealed an unexpected substitution effect of the hydride source itself. The results presented confirm that the noncovalent combination of supramolecular hosts with iminium catalysis is opening up new exciting possibilities to increase en...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
