A modification of the CHARMM36 lipid force field (C36) for cholesterol, henceforth, called C36c, is reported. A fused ring compound, decalin, was used to model the steroid section of cholesterol. For decalin, C36 inaccurately predicts the heat of vaporization (~10

Oleum (fuming sulphuric acid), a well known superacid, was used as medium for the generation of the radical cation of a series of selected PAHs. The resulting radical cation spectra were studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Not only common PAHs

(1)H relaxation dispersion of decalin and glycerol solutions of nitroxide radicals, 4-oxo-TEMPO-d(16)-(15)N and 4-oxo-TEMPO-d(16)-(14)N was measured in the frequency range of 10 kHz-20 MHz (for (1)H) using STELAR Field Cycling spectrometer. The purpose of the studies is to reveal how

An efficient and unprecedented organocatalytic reaction of γ-nitroketones with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to give polyfunctionalized [4.4.0] bicyclic skeletons was developed. The diphenylprolinol silyl ether mediated nitro-Michael/Aldol reaction afforded the hexa-substituted decalin carboaldehydes with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (up to >99:1 dr

Organic letters, 14(11), 2886-2889 (2012-05-19)
A concise enantioselective synthesis of (-)-teucvidin has been achieved. Our synthetic strategy involved the diastereoselective Michael/Conia-ene cascade cyclization reaction for rapid establishment of the cis-decalin skeleton with three new stereogenic centers in one pot (72%, single diastereomer), the epoxidation/dealkoxycarbonylation protocol
