Helical chiral 2-aminopyridinium ions were designed as a significantly more acidic (active) dual hydrogen-bonding catalyst than commonly used (thio)urea-based systems. The helicene framework was specifically utilized to position an inherently chiral barrier on the hydrogen-bonding side of the catalyst. The catalyst reactivity and enantioselectivity were successfully demonstrated in additions of 4,7-dihydroindoles to nitroalkenes (0.5-2 mol % catalyst loadings, up to 98:2 er).
The purpose of this article is to compare the outcomes of three different anterior approaches for threelevel cervical spondylosis. The records of 120 patients who underwent anterior approaches because of three-level cervical spondylosis between 2006 and 2008 were reviewed.
A highly enantioselective synthesis of homopropargylic alcohols is achieved by using the new helical chiral 2,2'-bipyridine N-monoxide catalyst and allenyltrichlorosilane. This method can be further extended to the enantio- and regioselective propargylation of N-acylhydrazones.
Stable and reusable tetraorganosilicon reagents, alkenyl-, aryl-, and silyl[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]dimethylsilanes, undergo 1,4-addition reactions to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl acceptors under mild rhodium-catalysis. The reaction tolerates a diverse range of functional groups and is applicable to gram-scale synthesis. Use of a chiral diene ligand allows the achievement of the corresponding enantioselective transformations using the tetraorganosilicon reagents, providing the silicon-based approach to optically active ketones and substituted piperidones that serve as synthetic intermediates of pharmaceuticals. A rhodium alkoxide species is suggested to be responsible for a transmetalation step on the basis of the observed kinetic resolution of a racemic chiral phenylsilane in the enantioselective 1,4-addition reaction under the rhodium-chiral diene catalysis.
We propose that the expression level of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis could provide clinical prognostic value, and the next steps should be to further investigate the mechanism by which CX3CL1 and its receptor impact survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
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.
