A modular approach for the synthesis of highly ordered porous and chiral auxiliary (Evans auxiliary) decorated metal-organic frameworks is developed. Our synthesis strategy, which uses known porous structures as model materials for incorporation of chirality via linker modification, can provide

Exploration of new and effective routes to conduct organic reactions in water using the special properties of water/organics is of great importance. In this work, we performed the disproportionation of various aromatic alcohols in water and in different organic solvents.

The photoreactions of 1-nitro-9,10-anthraquinone (N1) and 2-methyl-1-nitro-9,10-anthraquinone (N2) were studied in benzene and acetonitrile in the presence of 1-phenylethanol. For N2, a short-lived 10 ns transient observed upon flash photolysis is attributed to a triplet state, which can be intercepted

1-Phenylethanol is one of the major primary phase-I metabolites of ethylbenzene. In principle it may yield an electrophilic intermediate by phase-II metabolism. Because of the extensive use of ethylbenzene as a solvent, 2-year carcinogenicity inhalation studies were carried out leading

A novel thermostable NAD(P)H oxidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1 (TkNOX) catalyzes oxidation of NADH and NADPH with oxygen from atmospheric air as an electron acceptor. Although the optimal temperature of TkNOX is >90°C, it also shows activity
