Abstract:Shunts, alternative pathways in chemical reaction networks, are ubiquitous in Nature, enabling adaptability to external and internal stimuli. We introduce a chemical reaction network (CRN) in which the recovery of a Michael-accepting species is driven by oxidation chemistry. Using weak oxidants can enable access to two shunts within this CRN with different kinetics and a reduced number of side reactions compared to the main cycle that is driven by strong oxidants. Further, we introduce a strategy to recycle on… Show more
