Anisaldehyde (p-methoxybenzaldehyde) was previously reported to inhibit the tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) noncompetitively as long as the enzyme activity was monitored by measuring dopachrome formation. However, anisaldehyde did not inhibit this oxidation if a longer reaction time was observed

A novel approach to generate Au-containing all-carbon 1,3-dipoles is developed via an unprecedented migration-fragmentation of ketals/acetals. These in situ generated dipoles undergo rapid [3+2] cycloaddition under mild conditions with various enones/enals, electron-rich aromatic aldehydes, and N-benzylindole, leading to flexible formation

It has often been proposed that nectarless deceptive orchid species exploit naïve pollinators in search of food before they learn to avoid their flowers, and that intraspecific floral trait polymorphism, often noted in this plant group, could prolong the time
