Although 1,3-acyl transpositions are well known, their 1,2 counterparts are more difficult to achieve. Richmond Sarpong and his group from Berkeley University (#USA) decided to use 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, which can form a reactive cyclopropane intermediate upon UV irradiation. Addition of halogen could then trigger the opening of the cyclopropane, which was then attacked by the nucleophilic phenol, yielding the 1,2-acyl transferred product.
Diene-En Ring-Closing Metathesis poses challenges in regioselectivity and cis/trans selectivity. However, it can be effective, as demonstrated by Jin-Ming Gao and colleagues from Northwest A&F University (#China). They reported the total synthesis of ansatrienol K in the Journal of Organic Chemistry. This work is interesting for anyone focused on methods for polyketide synthesis.
The Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Wrocław 
is hosting an online talk “Insights into a journal editor’s tool kit” by Dr. Marc Kielmann on May 8 at 5 pm CEST.

Hmmm... Isn't trimethylamine 5-amino valeric acid (CAS #660-88-8) one single compound, instead of two (see top and bottom of the list)? The author claims trimethylamine is a fatty acid. Again, hmmm... Any chemists who can comment on this?
Also, anyone any idea what the IUPAC name or CAS # for "5b-cholestan acid 3b-ol" is?
Intense weekend working into this year's Merk #CompoundChallenge. Did we design the best route? Idk, but we sure had lots of laughs.

What is the pH value of DNA?
After all, the A stands for acid, it's logical it would have such a value.

Dreams in the last two hours of sleep were about the difference between gasoline and kerosene, and the different blends of each. "Ach, sometimes an only somewhat consistent refining process is just a somewhat consistent refining process" as Jung would say. #OrganicChemistry #Jung

The folks @Wikipedia have reminded the global #chemistry community that German chemist, and (too?) longtime editor of the Journal für Praktische Chemie, Hermann Kolbe died OTD in 1884. His Wikipedia article lists his impressive accomplishments in #OrganicChemistry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Kolbe
For non-chemists reading his #Wikipedia article, it ends with this head-scratcher: “The violence of his language worked to limit his posthumous reputation.”
