Understanding Hydrothermal Dechlorination of PVC by Focusing on the Operating Conditions and Hydrochar Characteristics by Tian Li, Peitao Zhao, Meng Lei, Zhaozhi Li

“…According to the FTIR results, the peak intensities of both C=CH and C=C stretching vibrations in hydrochar were increased, while the peak at around 3300 cm−1 representing the –OH group was not obvious, indicating that the dehydrochlorination (elimination reaction) was a main route for chlorine removal under these conditions studied in this work.…”

The development of nitro-Mannich/hydroamination cascades for the synthesis of substituted N-heterocycles by Barber, D, David Barber

“…Starting from easily prepared N-protected imines and nitroalkyne substrates, a compatible combination of KOtBu (10 mol%) and AuCl3 (5 mol%) was used to afford the desired pyrrole products, after an alkene isomerisation/HNO2 elimination reaction sequence. </p> <p>Chapter 3 describes the extension of this methodology to the diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine derivatives using a nitroalkyne substrate with an extended carbon chain. …”

Biochemistry and Crystal Structure of Ectoine Synthase: A Metal-Containing Member of the Cupin Superfamily. by Nils Widderich, Stefanie Kobus, Astrid Höppner, Ramona Riclea, Andreas Seubert, Jeroen S Dickschat, Johann Heider, Sander H J Smits, Erhard Bremer

“…Ectoine synthase (EctC) catalyzes the last step in ectoine production and mediates the ring closure of the substrate N-gamma-acetyl-L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid through a water elimination reaction. However, the crystal structure of ectoine synthase is not known and a clear understanding of how its fold contributes to enzyme activity is thus lacking. …”
