NHC catalyzed enantioselective Coates-Claisen rearrangement : a rapid access to the dihydropyran core for oleuropein based secoiridoids by Vedachalam, Seenuvasan, Murugesh, Nithya, Chakraborty, Priyanka, Karvembu, Ramasamy, Liu, Xue-Wei

“…We present the short synthesis of the suitably functionalized enantioselective dihydropyran core of secoiridoids using an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed Coates-Claisen rearrangement mechanism. The key steps of the synthesis are (i) the highly enantioselective NHC catalyzed Coates-Claisen rearrangement for the dihydropyran core, (ii) the assembly of the target dihydropyran core structure of oleuropein from a highly diastereoselective exocyclic trans alkene, and (iii) the highly stereoselective assembly of a monoterpene elenolide core structure.…”

Protocol to study dam-pup social transmission using a modified paradigm for transmission of food preference by Ham, Gao Xiang, Ong, Jonathan Z., Augustine, George James, Leong, Victoria

“…Here, we present a protocol to explore the parent-offspring context in social learning using an adaptation of this classic paradigm for rodent dam-pup dyads. We describe steps for studying weanling mice from the same mother and present a worked example using weight-based (food consumption) and time-based (exploration) indices of social learning.…”

Correlation between optical absorption redshift and carrier density in phase change materials by Ho, H. W., Song, W. D., Bai, K., Branicio, P. S., Tan, Teck L., Ji, R., Law, L. T., Ng, C. M., Lan, Wang.

“…Here, we report an optical absorption redshift map for GeTe-Sb2Te3 pseudo-binary alloys. We found that, with phase change from amorphous to crystalline, the observed redshift increases with Ge concentration along pseudo-line of compositions, which directly reflects the enhanced electron delocalization/resonant bonding and increased carrier concentrations in the respective crystal compounds. …”
