DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.9b00073
Abstract: We report a new semiaromatic poly(thioester) obtained through the copolymerization of phthalic thioanhydride and propylene oxide. The reaction was catalyzed by a chromium-based complex in conjunction with [PPN]Cl, where PPN = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium. The reaction temperature… read more here.

Abstract: The synthesis of aldehydes from carboxylic acids has long been a challenge in chemistry. In contrast to the harsh chemically driven reduction, enzymes such as carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) are considered appealing biocatalysts for aldehyde… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.2c00365
Abstract: Many enzyme classes require thioester electrophiles such as acyl-carrier proteins and acyl-coenzyme A substrates. For in vitro applications, these substrates can render these chemical transformations impractical. To address this challenge, we have investigated the mechanism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02678292.2019.1706107
Abstract: ABSTRACT Herein, a series of novel asymmetric cholesterol-based liquid crystal compounds containing thioester linkage and an analogue containing carboxylate linking unit have been synthesised and characterised. Thermal analyses demonstrated that all desired target compounds possess… read more here.
