Aerobic oxidations of dianionic C(60) were examined in PhCN and PhCH(2)CN, where dioxygen was activated to O(2)(•-) via the single-electron transfer from C(60)(2-) and underwent oxygenation and dehydrogenation reactions, respectively. Addition of PhCH(2)Br led to further benzylation for the oxygenated

Males of a variety of insects transfer an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone to females during mating that renders them less attractive to conspecific males. In cabbage white butterflies, the transfer of an anti-aphrodisiac can result in the unwanted attraction of tiny egg

The carbanionic species possibly formed during the first alkylation step of phenylacetonitrile lithiated anion by CH(3)I and PhCH(2)Cl in THF-hexane solution and their complexes with the lithium salt formed have been observed by infrared spectrometry and characterized by density functional

A nitrilase gene blr3397 from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 was cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli, and the encoded protein was purified to give a nitrilase with a single band of about 34.5kD on SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the holoenzyme
