Short gram-scale syntheses of both enantiomers of 2-amino-3-hydroxycyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid and of 2-amino-4-hydroxycyclobutanecarboxylic acid with an all-cis geometry are described. The sequences feature highly endo-selective [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition reactions followed by fully regioselective ring opening/Hofmann rearrangement/nitrogen protection, in a consecutive or one-pot protocol, followed by efficient resolution using a chiral oxazolidinone.

We report the synthesis of cycloparaphenylene derivatives featuring tris-azo groups. The smaller derivative, [3]cycloazobenzene, adopts a triangular all- form and exhibits thermally and photochemically stable characteristics due to significant ring strain as well as symmetric Kagome-patterned crystal packing. In contrast, the as-synthesized [3]cycloazobenzene with three biphenylene bridges adopts a triangular all- form, which undergoes photoinduced isomerization, leading to a photostationary state.

Natural fruits contain a large variety of cis-diols. However, due to the lack of a high-resolution sensor that can simultaneously identify all cis-diols without a need of complex sample pretreatment, direct and rapid analysis of fruits in a hand-held device has never been previously reported. Nanopore, a versatile single molecule sensor, can be specially engineered to perform this task.

The asymmetric synthesis of polyunsaturated triene C18:3 n-3 and C18:3 n-6 methoxylated ether lipids (MEL) of the 1--alkyl--glycerol type is described as possible structural candidates for a triene C18:3 MEL of an unknown identity found in a mixture of shark and dogfish liver oil. Their C18:3 hydrocarbon chains constitute an all- methylene skipped n-3 or n-6 triene framework, along with a methoxyl group at the 2'-position and -configuration of the resulting stereogenic center. The methoxylated polyenes are attached by an ether linkage to the hydroxymethyl group of the glycerol backbone.

Elongation of the Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acids-4 (ELOVL4) enzyme that is expressed in neuronal tissues, sperm, and testes mediates biosynthesis of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) from dietary long chain PUFAs (LC-PUFAs). The VLC-PUFAs are critical for neuronal and reproductive function. Therefore, mutations in ELOVL4 that affect VLC-PUFA biosynthesis contribute to retinal degenerative diseases including Autosomal Dominant Stargardt-like Macular Dystrophy (STGD3).
