An original Hadamard-encoding scheme allows discrimination among seven amino acid types in a single two-dimensional NMR experiment. Combined with hyperdimensional NMR techniques, this presents a promising new method for fast, automated backbone resonance assignment of p...

The intramolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of 1-(3-aminopropyl)vinylarenes in the presence of a readily available rhodium catalyst to form 3-arylpiperidines is reported. In contrast to intermolecular hydroamination of vinylarenes, which occurred in high yields i...

Cholesterol is essential for proper function and regulation of eukaryotic membranes, and significant amounts of metabolic energy are dedicated to controlling cellular cholesterol levels. Oxidation products of cholesterol, the oxysterols, are enzymatically produced molec...

Herein we describe a catalytic tethering strategy in which simple aldehyde precatalysts enable, through temporary intramolecularity, room-temperature intermolecular hydroamination reactivity and the synthesis of vicinal diamines. The catalyst allows the formation of a m...
