Herein, we report the first example on the use of an earth-abundant metal complex as the
catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates to methanol and diols. The …

α-Lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing fatty acid with high antioxidant
activity. It is also used to treat diabetes, nerve pain, weight loss, heart disease, and primary …

Two effective molecularly imprinted polymers for the adsorption of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)
were synthesized by the cross-linking of chitosan with epichlorohydrin (ECH) and …

An allylic C–H acyloxylation of terminal alkenes with 4-nitrobenzoic acid was assisted by a
bidentate-sulfoxide-ligated palladium catalyst combined with 1, 4-benzoquinone and …

In case of critical bone loss due to accidents or diseases, the process of bone regeneration
cannot be fulfilled, and additional surgical intervention in the form of bone transplants is …

In this paper, the main work was to study the theoretical self‐assembly process of
thermosensitive molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for α‐lipoic acid and to investigate …

Owing to their complexity, diverse structures and molecular targets, natural products have
