2018-04-06

2-Deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) catalyzes the reversible conversion of acetaldehyde and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate into deoxyribose-5-phosphate. DERA is used as a biocatalyst for the synthesis of drugs such as statins and is a promising pharmaceutic...

Highly Selective N-Monomethylanilines Synthesis From Nitroarene and Formaldehyde via Kinetically Excluding of the Thermodynamically Favorable N,N-Dimethylation Reaction

10.1021/acscatal.8b00116

2018-04-05

The synthesis of N-monomethylamine remains a challenging topic because the N,N-dimethylation reaction is thermodynamically favorable. In this work, the kinetically controlled N-monomethylamine synthesis from nitroarene and paraformaldehyde/H2 is reported to h...

Kinetic Assessment of the Simultaneous Hydrodesulfurization of Dibenzothiophene and the Hydrogenation of Diverse Polyaromatic Structures

2018-04-05

The elimination of sulfur from fossil fuels via hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is paramount to produce cleaner fuels. Ultradeep HDS refers to reducing sulfur in fuels below the 10 ppm level. Nevertheless, under such conditions, dibenzothiophenes (DBTs) are to be ...

Engineering Molecular Iodine Catalysis for Alkyl–Nitrogen Bond Formation

10.1021/acscatal.8b00286

2018-04-05

An advanced protocol for the intramolecular C–H amination of alkyl groups via amidyl radicals (Hofmann–Löffler reaction) under homogeneous iodine catalysis is reported. This protocol employs common mCPBA as terminal oxidant. It proceeds under mild conditions,...

Enzyme engineering based on X-ray structures and kinetic profiling of substrate libraries: alcohol dehydrogenases for stereospecific synthesis of a broad range of chiral alcohols

10.1021/acscatal.8b00364

2018-04-04

The narrow substrate scope of naturally occurring alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) greatly limits the enzymatic synthesis of important chiral alcohols. Based on X-ray crystal structures and kinetic profiling of a substrate library, we engineered variants of the ...

DMF-Promoted Redox-Neutral Ni-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroarylation of Alkene with Simple Arene
