Niobium pentachloride, tantalum pentachloride and indium trichloride efficiently catalysed the cyclization of (R)-citronellal to a mixture of isopulegol and neoisopulegol in good yields. A comparative ...

Cutting lemon balm back by half just before flowering also encourages bushier growth and keeps the leaves tender. Young plants will need regular watering, but established ones are quite ...

Patch clamp is a type of intracellular recording that relies on attaching a flat open tip glass pipette to the outer membrane of a single cell by means of suction and then recording the activity ...

Thus, starting from (R)- (+)-citronellal (243), polyunsaturated epoxide 244 was prepared and subjected to the influence of Et 2 AlCl in CH 2 Cl 2 at −78→25 °C, conditions that allowed its ...

Thus, MC22, which has 90.03% citronellal purity, is submitted to a new distillation process in the same column configuration: 18 trays, 5% column holdup and internal reflux ratio equals to 8. The ...

Disclosed here is a highly enantioselective difunctionalization of azetines for convenient access to chiral 2,3-disubstituted azetidines, a family of important scaffolds previously lacking general ...

Chemoselectivity is a central concept in organic synthesis and may be readily appreciated in the context of the fragrant, polyfunctional natural product citral. We describe three single-step reactions ...
