We studied the single-photon ionization of gas-phase δ-valerolactam (piperidin-2-one) and of its dimer using vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation coupled to a velocity map imaging electron/ion coincidence spectrometer. The slow photoelectron spectrum (SPES) of the monomer is dominated by the vibrational

Microbial production of chemicals and materials from renewable sources is becoming increasingly important for sustainable chemical industry. Here, we report construction of a new and efficient platform metabolic pathway for the production of four-carbon (butyrolactam), five-carbon (valerolactam) and six-carbon (caprolactam)

A comparative analysis for relative stability between normal and tautomeric forms in the excited electronic states of 7-azaindole···δ-valerolactam 1:1 complex and 7-azaindole homodimer has been presented. The tautomeric configuration of the complex is estimated to be ~6 kcal/mol more stable

The synthesis of a series of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-delta-valerolactam derivatives is described (compounds 4 to 10). These compounds showed a high anthelmintic in vitro activity against the Nippostrongylus brasiliensis model.
