The reaction energy profiles of the benzoin condensation from three aldehydes catalyzed by imidazol-2-ylidene, triazol-3-ylidene, and thiazol-2-ylidene have been investigated computationally. The barriers for all steps of all investigated reactions have been found to be low enough to indicate the

Benzil has been identified as a potent selective inhibitor of carboxylesterases (CEs). Essential components of the molecule required for inhibitory activity include the dione moiety and the benzene rings, and substitution within the rings affords increased selectivity toward CEs from

Trigger happy: chiral oxygen isotopomers of hydrobenzoin ([(18)O](R)-1 and [(18)O](S)-1) acted as chiral triggers to induce the enantioselective addition of iPr(2)Zn to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde. An extremely small chiral influence arising from the presence of the oxygen isotope ((18)O) is amplified through

Prenyl-phloroglucinol derivatives from hop plants have been shown to have anticancer activities. This study is the first to investigate the anticancer effects of the new phloroglucinol derivative (2,4-bis(4-fluorophenylacetyl)phloroglucinol; BFP).
