Studies on ruthenium-catalyzed "borrowing hydrogen"-based organic reactions

TL;DR: The first enantioselective synthesis of β-amino alcohols from 1,2-diols was examined by use of {[RuCl2(p-cymene)]2/(S, R)-JOSIPHOS} catalysis as mentioned in this paper.

Towards Schizozygine Type Alkaloids: Total Synthesis of (+)-Vallesamidine and (+)-Strempeliopine

Xiangyu Zhang
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showcase the use of the nitro-mannich reaction as a key strategic reaction through studies towards the total synthesis of 1,2-diamine contained alkaloids, schizozygine, vallesamidine and strempeliopine.

Defensive patterns of chestnut genotypes (Castanea spp.) against the gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied genetic variation in resistance and susceptibility to D. kuriphilus within a replicated blocked planting of 12 chestnut genotypes established in Galicia, Spain in 2004.
