We have developed a lipase-catalyzed parallel kinetic resolution of mixtures of beta-D/L-nucleosides. The opposite selectivity during acylation exhibited by Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PSL-C) with beta-D- and beta-L-nucl...
Several racemic trans-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides were prepared and then resolved by Rhodococcus rhodochrous IFO 15564-catalyzed hydrolysis. The resulting enantiopure (2R,3S)-3-arylaziridine-2-carboxamides are adequat...
A series of disubstituted pyridine derivatives was synthesized from the corresponding acryloyl azides by acetic acid-promoted cycloaddition. This represents a novel and convenient synthetic approach to the symmetric 3,5-...
In an effort to elucidate the mechanism of movement of nanovehicles on nonconducting surfaces, the synthesis and optical properties of five fluorescently tagged nanocars are reported. The nanocars were specifically desig...
