An efficient organocatalytic asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between 3-substituted methylenebenzofuranone derivatives and diverse Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates to provide complex polysubstituted spirocyclopentenebenzofuranone scaffolds in a single step is reported. C2-symmetric phospholanes were efficient nucleophilic catalysts of this transformation under mild conditions, providing reaction products comprised of three consecutive stereocenters, including one all-carbon center, with excellent enantioselectivity.

The high performance of two-dimensional (2D) channel membranes is generally achieved by preparing ultrathin or forming short channels with less tortuous transport through self-assembly of small flakes, demonstrating potential for highly efficient water desalination and purification, gas and ion separation, and organic solvent waste treatment. Here, we report the construction of vertical channels in graphene oxide (GO) membrane based on a substrate template with asymmetric pores. The membranes achieved water permeance of 2647 L m h bar while still maintaining an ultrahigh rejection rate of 99.

Glycans, unlike uniformly charged DNA and compositionally diverse peptides, are typically uncharged and exhibit rich stereoisomeric diversity in the glycosidic bonds between two monosaccharide units. This heterogeneity of charge and the structural complexity present significant challenges for accurate analysis. Herein, we developed a novel single-molecule oligosaccharide sensor, OmpF nanopore.

Screening carbonyl reductases with the ability to catalyze the reduction of complex carbonyl compounds is of great significance for the biosynthesis of -tolvaptan(-TVP). In this study, the target carbonyl reductase in the crude enzyme extract of rabbit liver was separated, purified, and identified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel-filtration chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and protein mass spectrometry. With the rabbit liver genome as the template, the gene encoding the carbonyl reductase was amplified by PCR and the recombinant strain was successfully constructed.
