The facile synthesis of the stabilized axial and equatorial conformers of spiro-β-lactams was achieved via entrapment of cyclohexanone imines (Schiff bases) with acetoxyacetyl chloride in a [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction followed by their kinetic resolution. The immobilization of the racemic substrates on an inert solid support significantly reduced the reaction time and improved the enantioselectivity of conformers during kinetic resolution. The mechanism of the formation of the spiro-β-lactams was explored using B3LYP/6-31+G* level quantum chemical calculations.

Drug discovery continues to face a staggering 90% failure rate, with many setbacks occurring during late-stage clinical trials. To address this challenge, there is an increasing focus on developing and evaluating new technologies to enhance the "design" and "test" phases of antibody-based drugs (e.g.

The contamination of water with dyes stemming from the discharge of industrial waste poses significant environmental risks and health concerns. In this study, the phytoremediation potential of the wetland plant was investigated (as a function of plant biomass, pH, contact time, and initial dye concentration) for the removal of methylene blue and methyl red dyes from wastewater. The experimental adsorption capacities under the optimum conditions were found to be 1.

Nucleoside derivatives having a 4-substituent show promise as potential antiviral agents as well as nucleoside units for constructing nucleic acid medicines. To develop new nucleosides, it is crucial to achieve feasible access to the intended derivatives, encompassing both enantiomers. Toward this end, we started synthesizing an achiral 4-hydroxymethyldihydrofuran as a sugar precursor, which we subjected to the oxidative glycosylation reaction using hypervalent iodine.

Continuous production of entropy and the corresponding energy dissipation is a defining characteristic of nonequilibrium systems. When a system's full chemical kinetic description is known, its entropy production rate can be computed from the microscopic rate constants. However, such a calculation typically underestimates energy dissipation when the states of the underlying system are mesoscopic, i.
