Cyanobacteria are unicellular prokaryotic algae that perform oxygenic photosynthesis, similar to plants. The cells harbor thylakoid membranes composed of lipids related to those of chloroplasts in ...

Aromatic esters are chemicals that contain an aromatic ring consisting of functional groups called esters. These organic compounds are widely used as chemical feedstock in industries like food and ...

Researchers produce valuable esters in high yield using environment-friendly catalyst. Nagoya University researchers produce valuable esters in high yield using environment-friendly catalyst. Esters ...

The total synthesis of the marine cyclodepsipeptide (-)-doliculide is described. An acyclic (2S,4S,6R)-trimethyl alkanoic acid precursor to the "hydrocarbon" portion of doliculide was synthesized ...

Rearrangement reactions are useful ways to make substituted aromatic molecules, but most of the methods that shift a substituent around an arene ring leave a functional group behind at the vacated ...

Figure 1: Scheme of the proposed biotin synthetic pathway. Figure 3: SAM and the methyl ester moiety are both required for synthesis of the pimeloyl moiety. Figure 4: Inhibition of DTB synthesis by ...
