(Chemical Equation Presented) A variant of the semipinacol rearrangement that was observed in our laboratory has been applied to the synthesis of several furanose and pyranose derivatives. The process consists of an "orchestrated" [1,2]-hydride shift with

The intricate architectures of RNA molecules often contain expansive close-packed interfaces. The folding of the well-defined P4-P6 RNA domain was challenged by using a series of 2′-modified nucleotides with a narrow range of molecular volumes. The resulting folding interferences (see picture) reflect the spatial environment of the 2′-hydroxy groups and thereby define a packing-density metric.
