Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 4-aryl-2-piperidinones was realized for the first time by asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboron reagents to 5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinones in the presence of a chiral bisphosphine-rhodium catalyst. In the reaction introducing 4-fluorophenyl group, the use of 4-fluorophenylboroxine and 1 equiv

ε-Caprolactam and δ-valerolactam are important commodity chemicals used in the manufacture of nylons, with millions of tons produced annually. Biological production of these highly valued chemicals has been limited due to a lack of enzymes that cyclize ω-amino fatty acid

A series of 3-substituted 2-piperidinone (delta-valerolactam) and hexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one (epsilon-caprolactam) derivatives were prepared and evaluated as anticonvulsants in mice. In the 2-piperidinone series, 3,3-diethyl compound 7b is the most effective anticonvulsant against pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures (ED50, 37 mg/kg; PI (TD50/ED50), 4.46), and

Caprolactam is a monomer used for the synthesis of nylon-6, and a recombinant microbial strain for biobased production of nylon-6 was recently developed. An intracellular biosensor for caprolactam can facilitate high-throughput metabolic engineering of recombinant microbial strains. Because of the

The function of the fibrinolytic system was first identified to dissolve fibrin to maintain vascular patency. Connections between the fibrinolytic system and many other physiological and pathological processes have been well established. Dysregulation of the fibrinolytic system is closely associated
