By taking advantage of the fact that cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) forms exceptionally stable host-guest complexes with protonated amines, and that its homologue CB[8] can encapsulate a pair of electron-rich and electron-deficient guest molecules to form a stable 1:1:1 complex, we synthesized

In this paper we present the synthesis, structures, characterization, and applications to field-effect transistors (FETs) of naphtho[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene (NDT) and -diselenophene (NDS) derivatives. Treatment of 1,5-dichloro-2,6-diethynylnaphthalenes, easily derived from commercially available 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene, with sodium chalcogenide afforded a straightforward access to NDTs

Aromatic substrates tyrosol (p-hydroxyphenylethanol) and 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene (2,6-DHN) were converted into chromane derivatives by means of chemoenzymatic reactions catalyzed by the aromatic prenyltransferase of bacterial origin NovQ, using dimethylallyl bromide as allylic substrate instead of the natural isoprenyl pyrophosphate substrate. Stereoselective
