TL;DR: This work identifies conditions and substrates that decouple the cycloaddition from subsequent steps and allow interception and characterization of this long hypothesized intermediate, and provides evidence for a mechanistic link between disparate cyclases in thiopeptide biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoelectron spectra of ortho- and meta-substituted benzonorbornadienes. Relationships to regioselectivities in triplet di-.pi.-methane rearrangements
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The structure and function of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) at the nanoscale are determined by the steric and electronic effects of their building blocks as mentioned in this paper, and Carboranethiol molecules form pristine...
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamic Control of Isomerizations of Bicyclic Radicals: Interplay of Ring Strain and Radical Stabilization.
TL;DR: The rearrangements of 4-substituted bicyclo[2.2.1]oct-6-en-2-yl radicals with some substituents, e.g., alkoxy and phenyl, but not for silyloxymethyl or benzyl substituent, are given.
