The catalytic condensation of cis-2-butene-1,4-diol with CpRu(MQA)(C(3)H(5)) (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, MQA = 4-methoxyquinoline-2-carboxylate) generates poly(2-butenediol), an unsaturated telechelic polyether diol with molecular weights between 400 and 4600 g/mol. This Ru(IV) allyl catalyst enchains 2-butene-1,4-diol primarily as the linear trans-2-butenyl ether

Lithium-ion batteries have remained a state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage technology for decades now, but their energy densities are limited by electrode materials and conventional liquid electrolytes can pose significant safety concerns. Lithium metal batteries featuring Li metal anodes, solid polymer

A novel antibiotic, penitricin showing anti-Gram-negative activity, has been isolated from the culture filtrate of Penicillium aculeatum. Chemical and physico-chemical studies determined the structure of penitricin as hydroxymethylcyclopropenone (1), which was confirmed by chemical synthesis from propargyl alcohol. Biological activity

The cis and trans isomers separation of 2-butene-1,4-diol and lafutidine were studied by HPLC on two kinds of chiral columns: (S,S)-Whelk-O 1 and ChiraSpher. The isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol can be separated on both chiral columns while the isomers of lafutidine
