Base-promoted epoxide isomerization is the conversion of alkyl epoxides to ring-opened products through the action of strong base. Isomerizations of this...

structure. Enolization is an example of isomerization, as is tautomerization. When the activation energy for the isomerization reaction is sufficiently small,...

Dragan and his colleague were the first to report about isomerization in alkanes. Isomerization and reformation are processes in which straight-chain alkanes...

and secrete methyl farnesoate, which is juvenile hormone III lacking the epoxide group. Methyl farnesoate is believed to play a role similar to that of...

compound with the formula C2H4O. It is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide: a three-membered ring consisting of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms...

prevent hypertension by forming nitro fatty acids that inhibit soluble epoxide hydrolase, which is one explanation for the apparent health effect of the...

large-scale applications. Carboxylic acids are esterified by treatment with epoxides, giving β-hydroxyesters: RCO2H + RCHCH2O → RCO2CH2CH(OH)R This reaction...

15'-monooxygenase cleaves β-carotene at the central double bond, creating an epoxide. This epoxide is then attacked by water creating two hydroxyl groups in the center...

directed inward restricts the s-trans conformation so severely that E-Z isomerization has been shown to occur in advance of cyclization on a wide range of...

isoPs which are named based on their structural similarities to PGs: D2-isoPs, E2-isoPs, A2-isoPs, and J2-isoPs; and two epoxide-containing isoPs, 5,6-epoxyisoprostane...

group from a methyl ether to a MOM-ether inhibits here the opening of an epoxide to an aldehyde. Protecting group chemistry finds itself an important application...

alkoxides. Organolithium reagents can also carry out nucleophilic attacks with epoxides to form alcohols. Organolithium reagents provide a wide range of basicity...

this signaling protein and promoting the proliferation of cells. Epoxide hydrolase: 15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-PGJ2 inhibits soluble epoxide hydrolase 2 by forming adducts...

copper cases) the ring-opening methanolysis of a small, cavity-accessible epoxide at up to 65% yield. Superior homogeneous catalysts exist however. Kitagawa...
