Direct arylation of thiophenes and benzothiophenes with aryltrimethylsilanes was effectively catalyzed by PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2) in the presence of CuCl(2) as an oxidant. The reaction preferentially occurred at the β-position of both thiophenes and benzothiophenes.
Metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) of proteins is of primary concern in the development of biotherapeutics as it represents a prominent degradation pathway with potential undesired biological and biotherapeutic consequences. We developed a fluorogenic derivatization methodology to study the MCO of IgG1
Environmental effects of copper nanoparticles are little studied in terrestrial ecosystems. In the present article, the toxicity of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NP) on the enchytraeid Enchytraeus albidus is compared to the toxicity of a copper-salt (CuCl(2)). The effect parameters studied were
Glycosyl 1-phosphates enriched in the α-anomer are obtained without the use of protecting groups in two steps starting from the free hemiacetal. Condensation of free hemiacetals with toluenesulfonylhydrazide yields a range of glycosylsulfonohydrazide donors which can be oxidized using cupric
Loss-of-function mutations in the PARK7/DJ-1 gene cause early onset autosomal-recessive Parkinson disease. DJ-1 has been implicated in protection of neurons from oxidative stress and in regulation of transcriptional activity. However, whether there is a relationship between the subcellular localization of
