is a genus of plants in the Zingiberaceae family. It includes several species, some of which are used in cosmetics for their various properties, making them useful in skincare products, particularly for anti-aging, moisturizing, and brightening the skin. However, to date, there is no experimental evidence on its natural extracts obtained or modified using microorganisms (bio-fermentation) as an anti-aging agent.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a method for exchanging boryl groups between alkenylboranes and diboron reagents, suggesting this process occurs via a stereospecific cross-metathesis pathway.
  • This exchange results in the formation of mixed diboron reagents, which are essential for various chemical reactions.
  • Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, a mechanism for achieving stereocontrol in this cross-metathesis involving both symmetric and asymmetric diboron reagents is proposed.
