  • Patent number: 10316012
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of synthesizing a series of compounds with the structure of (1S, 5R)-lactone. In the method, under the catalysis of a chiral phosphonic acid, substituted bicyclo[3.2.0]-hept-2-en-6-one (II) as a substrate is reacted with hydrogen peroxide for enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation to produce a chiral lactone (I). This method involves mild reaction conditions, simple operation, quantitatively recyclable catalyst and high reaction selectivity and stereoselectivity, which is suitable for industrial production.

  • Patent number: 10316014
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to the facile and selective mono-perfluoro and -polyfluoroarylation of Meldrum's acid to generate a versatile synthon for highly fluorinated alpha-phenyl acetic acid derivatives which provide straightforward access to fluorinated building blocks. The reaction takes place quickly and all products were isolated without the need for chromatography. An embodiment provides an alternative strategy to access alpha-arylated Meldrum's acids which avoids the need for aryl-Pb(IV) salts or diaryliodonium salts and provides access to the tertiary product which was not previously synthetically accessible. The synthetic versatility and utility of the Meldrum's acid products is demonstrated by subjecting the products to several derivatizations of the Meldrum's acid products as well as photocatalytic hydrodefluorination which provide access to difficult but valuable synthetic targets such as multifluorinated aromatics.

  • Patent number: 10316057
    Abstract: The invention provides tandem facial amphiphiles for biochemical manipulations and characterization of membrane proteins, such as intrinsic membrane proteins. Members of this new family display favorable behavior with several membrane proteins. These amphiphiles can form relatively small micelles, and small changes in amphiphile chemical structures can result in large changes in their physical properties. The tandem facial amphiphiles can be used to aid the solubilization, isolation, purification, stabilization, crystallization, and/or structural determination of membrane proteins.

  • Patent number: 10316059
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods comprising the use of hydroxyapatite chromatography to separate a bispecific antibody from a solution that also comprises one or more byproducts specific to bispecific antibody production. Byproducts specific to the production of bispecific antibodies (bispecific antibody specific byproducts, “BASB”) include fragments of the bispecific antibody and heavier molecular weight variants of the antibody, wherein the fragment and/or variant comprises an Fc domain but does not exhibit affinity for the two different epitopes and/or antigens as exhibited by the desired bispecific antibody. Thus, the methods of the present invention comprise the separation of a bispecific antibody from one or more of its BASB. The hydroxyapatite chromatography methods of the invention may be used alone or may be further combined with standard purification processes and unit operations as is known in the art to achieve any level of purity of bispecific antibody necessary, e.g.
