Article Abstract
The first examples of asymmetric Tamura cycloaddition reactions involving singly activated alkenes are reported. Homophthalic anhydride reacts with α-methyl nitrosytrenes in the presence of an alkaloid-based catalyst to generate fused bicyclic aromatic ketone products with three new stereocentres (which are susceptible to subsequent equilibration) in 12-99% ee. An unusual equilibration process which occurs in methanolic medium in the absence of a recognisable base via proton transfer at the α-carbon of an ester was investigated experimentally and computationally.

We experimentally investigated the asymmetric dual-grating-gate plasmonic terahertz (THz) detector based on an InGaAs-channel high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) in the gate-readout configuration. Throughout the THz pulse detection measurement on the fabricated device, we discovered a new detection mechanism called the "3D rectification effect" at the positive gate bias application, which is a cooperative effect of the plasmonic nonlinearities in the channel with the diode nonlinearity in the heterobarrier between the InGaAs channel layer and the InAlAs spacer/carrier-supply/barrier layers, resulting in a giant enhancement of the detector responsivity. We also found that an undesired long-tail waveform observed on the temporal pulse photoresponse of the device is due to trapping of carriers to the donor levels in the silicon -doped carrier-supply layer when they tunnel through the barrier to the gate and can be eliminated completely by introducing the so-called inverted-HEMT structure.

This review outlines our efforts to make the reactions of nitrones more predictable and easier to use. These efforts can be categorized into (1) 1,3-nucleophilic addition reaction of ketene silyl acetals to nitrones, (2) geometry-controlled cycloaddition of C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrones, (3) stereo-controlled cycloaddition using double asymmetric induction, and (4) generation of nitrones by N-selective modification of oximes.

Background: Overhead throwing can cause asymmetric physical characteristics induced by certain repeated asymmetric movements. Characterizing these physical properties could provide insights for health promotion, conditioning, and training planning. The status of asymmetric body composition and physical function in overhead throwing sports athletes remains unclear.

The relative configuration of the epoxide functionality in pinofuranoxin A (1), α-alkylidene-β-hydroxy-γ-methyl-γ-butyrolactone with trans-epoxy side chain isolated by Evidente et al. in 2021, was revised by DFT-based spectral reinvestigations and stereo-controlled synthesis. The present investigation demonstrates the difficulty of the configurational elucidation of the stereogenic centers on the conformationally flexible acyclic side-chains.

Lipid bilayer membranes such as liposomes have been utilized as platforms for bioinspired artificial photosynthesis. Embedding functional compounds, including chromophores and catalysts, into two-dimensional lipid membranes allows their high local concentration and proximity, resulting in enhanced reactivity compared to that of homogeneous solutions. The control of photoreactions by the physical and chemical properties of membranes, such as fluidity and phase separation, has also been well studied in recent years.
