A surprising ring contraction to give derivatives 2 and 3 of indeno[2, 1‐a]indene is observed in the reaction of 1 with organolithium compounds (R = alkyl, Ph; R1, R2 = H, alkyl, Ph). The expected nucleophilic substitution of 1 has so far only been accomplished in one case: with CuCN, the tetracarbonitrile 1, CN instead of Br, is formed.
The amino acid l-methionine is an essential amino acid and is commonly used as a feed supplement in terrestrial animals. It is less suitable for marine organisms because it is readily excreted. It is also highly water soluble and this results in loss of the feed and eutrophication of the water. To address these problems, the dipeptide dl-methionyl-dl-methionine (trade name: AQUAVI Met-Met) has been developed as a dedicated methionine source for aquaculture. The commercial product is a mixture of a racemic crystal form of d-methionyl-d-methionine/l-methionyl-l-methionine and a racemic crystal form of d-methionyl-l-methionine/l-methionyl-d-methionine. In this work, we have computationally, structurally, spectroscopically and by electron microscopy characterised these materials. The microscopy and spectroscopy demonstrate that there is no interaction between the dd–ll and dl–ld racemates on any length scale from the macroscopic to the nanoscale.
Singulett der Methoxy-Protonen. Bei der offenbar wenig gehinderten Rotation um die p-Phenylen-Achse gelangen die OCH,-Gruppen im zeitlichen Mittel in den Anisotropiebereich der beiden 1,3,5-substituierten Benzolringe. Bei -109°C ist die Hochfeldverschiebung immer noch ausgepragt ; alle Signale sind verbreitert.Kalottenmodellbetrachtungen zeigen, daD nicht alle sechs Methoxy-Gruppen von la gleichzeitig im Molekulinneren Platz finden.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
