Lack of selectivity towards anesthetic stereoisomers is one of the few criteria available for the identification of an anesthetic target site. Until now this criterion has not been tested for anesthetics that directly interact with sensitive membrane proteins which are

We report ab initio molecular dynamics calculations based on density functional theory performed on an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition between ketene and olefin linked with a 2,4-pentanediol (PD) tether. We find that the encounter of the ketene and olefin

When 2,4-pentanediol (2,4-H(2)pd) is deprotonated, the resulting dianion (2,4-pd) serves as a type of "hybrid" ligand, i.e., an alkoxide that possesses structural features of a β-diketonate. 2,4-Pentanediol reacts with Al(O-s-Bu)(3) and Zr(O-i-Pr)(4) to form chelated multinuclear complexes. The aluminum-containing product

Ketones and acyl silanes were reduced to the corresponding alcohols by a simple procedure employing anti-1,3-diol and a catalytic amount (5 mol %) of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid in benzene at reflux. Asymmetric induction reached up to >99% ee when a chiral

Highly efficient synthesis of enantiopure diacetates of 2,4-pentanediol and 2,5-hexanediol starting from commercially available mixtures of the diols (dl/meso approximately 1:1) has been realized by combining a fast ruthenium-catalyzed epimerization with an enzymatic transesterification. The in situ coupling of these
