Tandem catalysis by using iron(III) chloride hexahydrate leads to carbohydrate building blocks displaying an orthogonal protecting group pattern as illustrated by the regioselective protection of trehalose and maltose disaccharides.
The longer, the better: Increasing the lengths of the 1,3‐methyl ‐branched fatty acyl chain units in mycobacterial diacylated sulfoglycolipid (Acyl2SGL) analogues led to dramatic improvements in their antigenic properties and gave products more potent than the natural antigen Acyl2SGLs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
