General description

Benzyl glycidyl ether is a glycidyl derivative. Rac-/(R)-benzyl glycidyl ether participates in the synthesis of atactic and isotactic linear poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s. Biocatalytic resolution of racemic benzyl glycidyl ether by Talaromyces flavus has been described. Resolution of benzyl glycidyl ether to (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether with 30% ee and (R)-3-benzyloxypropane-1,2-diol with 40% ee by whole Bacillus alcalophilus cells has been reported. It reacts with K-, K+(15-crown-5)2 to afford potassium glycidoxide and bibenzyl.

Cyclic azasilanes have been synthesized for the purpose of developing coupling agents appropriate for a variety of nanotechnologies including surface modification of nanoparticles, nanocrystals, mesoporous materials and substrates. N-Methyl-aza-2,2,4-trimethylsilacyclopentane is representative of this class of compounds. Preliminary data for the

The synthesis and characterization of atactic and isotactic linear poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s are reported. The poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s were obtained via the ring-opening copolymerization of rac-/(R)-benzyl glycidyl ether with CO2 using [SalcyCo(III)X] complexes with high carbonate linkage selectivity and polymer/cyclic

A gene encoding a halohydrin dehalogenase from Pseudomonas pohangensis (PpHHDH) was identified, synthesized and expressed in Escherichia coli. Subsequently, we used protein engineering to enhance the enzyme's enantioselectivity. We created two enantiocomplementary HHDH mutants, N160L and Q159L, which exhibited higher
