Synthesis of 2-hydroxy-3-substituted naphthoquinones using the Heck reaction
(2007-06)
An efficient Heck coupling of 2-hydroxy-3-iodo-naphthoquinone with a series of electron-deficient alkenes in aqueous solution has been accomplished. The method is characterized by simple conditions and facile work-up to ...
Rapid shift in microbial community structure in a neutral hydrothermal hot spring from Costa Rica
(2020)
In this work, we characterize the geochemistry and microbial community of Bajo las Peñas, a neutral (pH 6.5-7.4), hot spring (T = 62.0-68.0°C) located near Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica. The microbiota at its two sources ...
Propargylation of Carbonyl Compounds: An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Homopropargyl Alcohols
(1998)
Controlled dilithiation of allene, with two equivalents of n-butytlithium, produces the propargyl dianion 5. The latter couple efficiently with carbonyl compounds to produce homopropargyl alcohols in high yields.
Concomitant prediction of environmental fate and toxicity of chemical compounds
(2020)
The environmental fate of many functional molecules that are produced on a large scale as precursors or as additives to specialty goods (plastics, fibers, construction materials, etc.), let alone those synthesized by the ...
Ethyl propionate: Synergistic kairomone for african palm weevil,Rhynchophorus phoenicis L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1994-04)
Small trunk pieces of a freshly felled 10-year-old oil palm,Elaeis quineensis (Jacq.), were placed in a modified Nalgene desiccator, and volatiles captured for six days on Porapak Q. Gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of ...
Predation of the Rolled-Leaf Beetle Cephaloleia kressi García-Robledo (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) by the Rove Beetle Phanolinus Sp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina) in a Montane Forest of Costa Rica
(2020-12-22)
The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat includes 215 species, known as rolled-leaf beetles, all of which are restricted to the Neotropics (Garcı́a-Robledo et al. 2015; Staines and Garcı́a-Robledo 2014). These beetles complete their ...
Baulamycins A and B, Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics Identified as Inhibitors of Siderophore Biosynthesis in Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus anthracis
(2014)
Siderophores are high-affinity iron chelators produced by microorganisms and frequently contribute to the virulence of human pathogens. Targeted inhibition of the biosynthesis of siderophores staphyloferrin B of Staphylococcus ...
Adipostatins E-J, new potent antimicrobials identified as inhibitors of coenzyme-A biosynthesis
(2020-01)
Phosphopantetheine is a key structural element in biological acyl transfer reactions found embedded within coenzyme A (CoA). Phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase (PPCS) is responsible for installing a cysteamine group ...
Optimization of semiochemical-based trapping of Metamasius hemipterus sericeus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1996-08)
Response of adults of the West Indian sugarcane weevil,Metamasius hemipterus sericeus, to various semiochemical treatments and physical trap designs was studied in southern Florida in field-grown banana and Canary Island ...
Expanding the Trichoderma harzianum species complex: Three new species from Argentine natural and cultivated ecosystems
(2021-06-22)
A study was performed on a collection of 84 isolates from decaying plant tissues and soils in
Argentina previously identified as Trichoderma harzianum. Based on multiple phenotypic characters
and multilocus phylogenetic ...
