Bioluminescence activity of Latia luciferin analogues: Replacement of the 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexene ring onto the methyl-substituted phenyl groups
Latia luciferin methyl-substituted phenyl analogues were moderately recognized by Latia luciferase with the same light production kinetics and the bioluminescence spectra as that of natural luciferin. A series of Latia luciferin analogues having methyl-su
Selectivity in palladium catalyzed arylation: Synthetic application leading to aromatized ionone natural products
The selectivity in aromatic substitution vs conjugate addition during palladium catalyzed reactions has been controlled simply by changing the base. These reaction conditions have been applied to the syntheses of aromatized β-ionone natural products 1 and its dihydroderivatives 7.
