The polysaccharide β-1,2-glucan consists of repeating units of glucose linked together by β-1,2-glycosidic bonds. Cyclic β-1,2-glucans (CβGs) occur in different bacterial species and have a role in ...

Cyclic tetrapeptides comprise a potent and selective class of molecules with a wide range of biological activities, including the phytotoxic activity of tentoxin and the histone deacetylase (HDAC) ...

Radical cyclization has emerged as a versatile and powerful strategy for the construction of nitrogen‐containing heterocycles, which are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and functional ...

Radicals, atoms or molecules that readily react with other substances to form new bonds, are useful tools for building complex substances such as pharmaceuticals. But even when a radical is generated ...

A catalytic dehydrogenation approach promises to streamline access to products of the ring-forming Diels-Alder reaction. The approach generates starting materials and enables them to be cyclized in a ...

A reaction scheme showing an aryl aldehyde and a primary amine coming together on the left, with an arrow labeled with catalysts and ultraviolet light, to form a six-membered nitrogen-containing ring, ...
