Abstract
With two β-mercaptoethyl groups on the N, a tertiary amide of structure 1 is always poised for intramolecular thioesterification however it flips about the C-N bond. It is shown that a peptide with such a C-terminal N,N-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-amide (BMEA) can be used directly for nati...

Abstract
A new flow procedure for the preparation of arylsulfonyl chlorides from aniline starting materials is described. The reaction conditions are mild, requiring no added acid and are amenable to continuous flow processing, in a safe, easily scalable and less labour intensive way than the corresponding b...

Abstract
The frequent presence of the sulfur-containing amide penangin (10) in leaf extracts of Glycosmis species turned out to be the result of decomposition of imides generated by extraction and storage in MeOH. Reinvestigation of Glycosmis mauritiana and G. cf. puberula with acetone revealed the presence...

Abstract
The using of sonochemically prepared components for growth of SbI(3).3S(8) single crystals from the vapor phase is presented for the first time. The good optical quality of the obtained crystals is important because this material is valuable for optoelectronics due to its non-linear optical properti...

Abstract
Sulfur monobromide (S(2)Br(2)) was employed as a task-specific oxidant to capture and stabilize elemental mercury from coal-fired flue gas. Its performances on the removal of Hg(0) were investigated with respect to the gas-phase reaction and particle-involved reactions. It was found that the gas-pha...
