The novel lipid mediator PD1n-3 DPA: An overview of the structural elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and bioactions

“…The bond angels of an epoxide deviate from the tetrahedral angel of other sp 3 -hybridized ether-carbon atoms, leading to so-called bent bonds. This result in a high amount of ring-strain in epoxides which accounts for the high chemical reactivity of epoxides [43]. A nucleophilic addition of H 2 O at C10, catalyzed by a hydrolase, results in the opening of the 16,17 S -PD n-3 DPA epoxide, culminating in the formation of PD1 n-3 DPA .…”

A versatile route to polythiophenes with functional pendant groups using alkyne chemistry

“…It starts with glycidol that can be economically prepared by the epoxidation of allyl alcohol [30]. The alkynediol 2 was prepared from glycidol by using a four-step sequence reported by Pattenden and co-workers [31].…”

Recent Advances in Asymmetric CC and C‐Heteroatom Bond Forming Reactions using Polymer‐Bound Catalysts

“…[52] The epoxidation is therefore one of the most important oxidation reactions in organic synthesis resulting in a high interest in the immobilization of enantioselective epoxidation catalysts. [53] In 1998, Abbenhuis et al reported the immobilization of the titanium(IV)-silsesquioxane complex 13 known as an active and durably epoxidation catalyst in solution.…”
