Clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS) associated with pneumonia: An adult case and review of the literature.

Mycoplasma pneumonia with mild CNS involvements should be considered of MERS, even in adult. From the case series, splenial single lesions by MRI and prodromal fever with varied neurological manifestations recovered completely by antibiotics were seen.

Copper-catalyzed enantioselective substitution of allylic carbonates with diboron: an efficient route to optically active alpha-chiral allylboronates.

A method for the synthesis of alpha-chiral allylboronates featuring the Cu(I)-catalyzed enantioselective substitution of readily available allylic carbonates with a diboron is described. Using this method, various alpha-chiral allylboronates, including functionalized allylboronates, were successfully synthesized, with high enantiomeric purity.
