Identification of odorants in frankincense (Boswellia sacra Flueck.) by aroma extract dilution analysis and two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry.

Phytochemistry 109 , 66-75, (2014)

Frankincense has been known, traded and used throughout the ages for its exceptional aroma properties, and is still commonly used in both secular and religious settings to convey a pleasant odor. Surprisingly, the odoriferous principle(s) underlying its uniqu...

An assessment of the reaction energetics for cytochrome P450-mediated reactions.

Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 385(1) , 220-30, (2001)

Regioselectivity is used to determine the absolute energetic differences for four different reactions catalyzed by P450. Abstraction of a hydrogen from a benzylic carbon containing a chlorine has a 1.0 kcal/mol lower barrier than abstraction from a simple ben...

(+)- and (-)-mutisianthol: first total synthesis, absolute configuration, and antitumor activity.

J. Org. Chem. 74(6) , 2561-6, (2009)

The first synthesis of the natural product (+)-mutisianthol was accomplished in 11 steps and in 21% overall yield from 2-methylanisole. The synthesis of its enantiomer was also performed in a similar overall yield. The absolute configuration of the sesquiterp...

Chiral ammonium-capped rhodium(0) nanocatalysts: synthesis, characterization, and advances in asymmetric hydrogenation in neat water.

ChemSusChem 5(1) , 91-101, (2012)

Optically active amphiphilic compounds derived from N-methylephedrine, N-methylprolinol, or cinchona derivatives possessing bromide or chiral lactate counterions were efficiently used as protective agents for rhodium(0) nanoparticles. The full characterizatio...
