Definitive X-ray crystallographic evidence is obtained for a single hole (or a polaron) to be uniformly distributed on the three equivalent 1,2-dimethoxybenzenoid (or veratrole) rings in the hexamethoxytriptycene cation radical. This conclusion is further supported by electrochemical analysis and by

Mature gregarious male desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, emit the courtship inhibition pheromone phenylacetonitrile. Wings and legs, in particular the fore wings, have been identified as the main releasing sites. Abdomen and head emit only trace amounts of this pheromone. In

The anaerobic veratrol O-demethylase mediates the transfer of the methyl group of the phenyl methyl ether veratrol to tetrahydrofolate. The primary methyl group acceptor is the cobalt of a corrinoid protein, which has to be in the +1 oxidation state

[reaction: see text]. A protocol for performing Rh catalyzed aromatic borylations in cyclohexane has been devised. Borylation at the 5-position of several 1,3-substituted aromatic species ranging from electron-rich (1,3-(NMe(2))(2)C(6)H(4)) to electron-deficient (1,3-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(4)) yields the corresponding aryl boronate esters. Veratrole was

The anaerobic cleavage of ether bonds of methoxylated substrates such as vanillate or veratrol in acetogenic bacteria is mediated by multi-component enzyme systems, the O-demethylases. Acetobacterium dehalogenans harbours different inducible O-demethylases with various substrate spectra. Two of these enzyme systems
