The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of O-carboxyanhydrides (OCAs) can give diverse poly(α-hydroxy acid)s (PAHAs) with different functional groups because of easy modification of the side group of OCAs, which can extend applications of PAHAs widely. The stereoselective polymerization of O-carboxyanhydrides and further sequence controlled alternating copolymerization of OCAs were still big challenges until now for lack of suitable catalysts/initiators. In this work, a highly syndioselective ROP of OCAs system as the first stereoselective example in this area is reported using zirconium/hafnium alkoxides as initiators with the highest Pr value up to 0.95. Furthermore, these initiators were successfully applied in the precisely alternating sequence controlled copolymerization of PheOCA and Tyr(Bn)OCA, and alternating copolymerization of LacOCA and PheOCA was also achieved.

Phenyllactic acids are important constituents of depsipeptides, which are a large class of natural products expressing a wide range of biological activities. Despite there being several methods for the enantioselective synthesis of α-hydroxy acids, almost no studies are available addressing the substrate selectivity of transition-metal and enzyme-catalyzed methods for the preparation of substituted phenyllactic or more general aryllactic acids. We report herein comparative results for Rh-DiPAMP (DiPAMP = 1,2-ethandiylbis[(o- methoxyphenyl)phenylphosphane]) and lactate dehydrogenase catalyzed enantioselective reductions of several 3-aryl-2-oxopropanoic acids. Phenyllactic acids are important constituents of depsipeptides, which are a large class of natural products expressing a wide range of biological activities. A comparative study of transition-metal and lactate dehydrogenase catalyzed enantioselective reductions of several 3-aryl-2-oxopropanoic acids as valuable sources for enantiomerically pure phenyllactic acids is described.

Detection of 210 kDa receptor protein for a leaf-movement factor by using novel photoaffinity probes

Circadian rhythmic plant leaf-movement, called nyctinasty, is controlled by a time-course change in the internal concentration of the leaf-movement factor in the plant body. We revealed that specific binding proteins (210 and 180 kDa) for the leaf-movement factor, potassium lespedezate (1), are contained in the plasma membrane of the plant motor cell by using novel synthetic photoaffinity probes. These proteins are localized on the motor cell in the plant body, and would be potential receptors for the leaf-movement factor to control the leaf-movement. Our study is a rare successful result of the detection of membrane receptors by using a synthetic photoaffinity probe designed on a biologically active natural product. And these results also advance a guideline for probe design towards successful photoaffinity labeling.

Nyctinastic leaf-movement is induced by the binding of the leaf-movement factor with a motor cell located in the pulvini of the plant. Some receptors of the leaf-movement factor should be involved in this biological event. We developed a novel photoaffini
