Robust perfluorophenylboronic acid-catalyzed stereoselective synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated O-, C-, N- and S-linked glycosides by Tatina, Madhu Babu, Xia, Mengxin, Rao, Peilin, Judeh, Zaher M. A.

“…Using this protocol, D-glucals and L-rhamnals reacted with various C-, O-, N- and S-nucleophiles to give a wide range of glycosides in up to 98% yields with mainly α-anomeric selectivity. The perflurophenylboronic acid successfully catalyzed a wide range of substrates (both glucals and nucleophiles) under very mild reaction conditions.…”

In-circuit characterization of common-mode chokes by See, Kye Yak, Deng, Junhong

“…The two current probes measurement method was employed by other researchers to measure the radio-frequency impedance of ac power mains. In this paper, with a modified measurement setup, the method is extended to measure the common-mode (CM) impedance of a CM choke under in-circuit condition.With a premeasurement characterization process, the effect of the measurement setup can be determined and eliminated. …”
