Electrochemical-induced phosphorylation of arenols and tyrosine containing oligopeptides.

A disclosed technique employs electrochemical dehydrogenative cross-coupling to create organophosphates, utilizing phosphites compounds with arenols. Inorganic iodide salts serve dual roles as redox catalysts and electrolytes in an undivided cell, omitting the need for external oxidants or bases. Initial mechanistic investigations indicate the reaction unfolds via an electro-oxidative radical pathway, facilitating the formation of P-O bonds, leading to the generation of oxygen radicals in the formation of acetylaminophenol.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to determine the mechanisms underlying drug resistance and identify effective targets.

The complete chloroplast genome sequences of three lilies: genome structure, comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses.

We sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genomes of Lilium amoenum, Lilium souliei, and Nomocharis forrestii in detail, including the first sequence and structural comparison of Nomocharis forrestii. We found that the lengths and nucleotide composition of the three chloroplast genes showed little variation. The chloroplast genomes of the three Lilium species contain 87 protein coding genes (PCGs), 38 tRNAs, and 8 rRNA genes.

However, the effects of OSW-1 on gliomas and its potential mechanisms remain unclear.

Crucial Roles of a Pendant Imidazole Ligand of a Cobalt Porphyrin Complex in the Stoichiometric and Catalytic Reduction of Dioxygen.

A cobalt porphyrin complex with a pendant imidazole base ([(L )Co ]) is an efficient catalyst for the homogeneous catalytic two-electron reduction of dioxygen by 1,1'-dimethylferrocene (Me Fc) in the presence of triflic acid (HOTf), as compared with a cobalt porphyrin complex without a pendant imidazole base ([(L )Co ]). The pendant imidazole ligand plays a crucial role not only to provide an imidazolinium proton for proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from [(L )Co ] to O in the presence of HOTf but also to facilitate electron transfer (ET) from [(L )Co ] to O in the absence of HOTf. The kinetics analysis and the detection of intermediates in the stoichiometric and catalytic reduction of O have provided clues to clarify the crucial roles of the pendant imidazole ligand of [(L )Co ] for the first time.
