[reaction: see text] Six-membered cyclic phosphates (2-phenoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes) bearing an internal protected or unprotected hydroxyl group were designed, synthesized, and studied by NMR and computational methods. Selective opening of O-isopropylidene-protected 1,2-diols at the primary site was achieved with either triethylsilane or trimethylallylsilane in the presence of BF3.OEt2. Applied to 5,6-O-isopropylidenepentofuranosides, this reaction gave rise to the formation of the corresponding 1,3-diol precursors for the six-membered ring phosphates containing an O-isopropyl or O-1,1-dimethyl-3-butenyl functional group at C-6. The O-1,1-dimethyl-3-butenyl protecting group was efficiently removed after the phosphorylation with BF3.OEt2, and the six-membered cyclic phosphates containing free hydroxyl groups were obtained. A cyclic phosphate with a free hydroxyl group oriented cis to the phosphoryl group shows a vicinal coupling constant 3J(HP) that is in accordance with the chair conformation. This is due to the formation of a seven-membered intramolecular hydrogen-bonded ring structure that stabilizes the chair conformation. Thus, the strong tendency of the phenoxy group to be in an axial position is diminished by the internal hydrogen bonding interaction. Computational studies provided strong support for the experimental observation.

Starch and non-starch polysaccharides ((N)SPs) are relevant in cereal-based beverages. Although their molar mass and conformation are important to the sensory characteristics of beer and non-alcoholic beer, their triggering mechanism in the mouth is not fully understood. Soft tribology has emerged as a tool to mimic oral processing (drinking).

Thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is one of the best-known G-quadruplex (G4)-forming aptamers that efficiently binds to thrombin, resulting in anticoagulant effects. TBA also possesses promising antiproliferative properties. As with most therapeutic oligonucleotides, chemical modifications are critical for therapeutic applications, particularly to improve thermodynamic stability, resistance in biological environment, and target affinity.

Hexaanionic cyclophosphazenate ligands [(RN)PN] provide versatile platforms for the assembly of multinuclear metal arrays due to their multiple coordination sites and highly flexible ligand core structure. This work investigates the impact of incrementally increasing the steric demand of the ligand periphery on the coordination behavior of ethylzinc arrays. It shows that the increased congestion around the ligand sites is alleviated by progressive condensation with the elimination of diethylzinc.

The title compounds, CHO ( and ), are tetra-cyclic benzoates composed of a taxane ring with a fused dioxolane ring as the core skeleton. In compound , the five-membered dioxolane ring is essentially planar while the two cyclo-hexane rings and the cyclo-octane ring adopt chair and chair-chair forms, respectively, and there are three intra-molecular H⋯H short contacts. The corresponding ring conformations in are similar; however, one intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action and two H⋯H short contacts are observed, and the benzoyl and meth-oxy-methyl groups show orientational disorder.
