An Au(I)-catalysed allenamide cyclisation giving access to an α-vinyl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline building block by Sanjitpal Singh, Mark Elsegood, Marc Kimber

“…An Au(I)-catalysed intramolecular hydroarylation of an enantiopure allenamide has been achieved and has given access to a key α-vinyl- substititued tetrahydroisoquinoline. Additionally this has been accomplished in very high yield and high diastereoselectivity. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.…”

A new entry to sonochemical/efficient agitation switching: alkene formation through epoxide deoxygenation by Benjamin Buckley, Anish P. Patel, Upul Wijayantha-Kahagala-Gamage

“…We herein report a new addition to this switching phenomenon in which epoxides are converted to cyclic carbonates by addition of CO under standard heating/electrolysis conditions but are 'switched' to alkenes under deoxygenating sonochemical conditions. © Georg Thieme Verlag.…”

The effects of rear-wheel camber on maximal effort mobility performance in wheelchair athletes by Barry Mason, Lucas H.V. van der Woude, Keith Tolfrey, Vicky Goosey-Tolfrey

“…Although no statistically significant main effect of camber was revealed, large effect sizes (r=0.72, 95% CI=0.066 to 0.250) demonstrated that 18° camber reduced times taken to perform the manoeuvrability drill compared with 15°. …”

Activation of hydrogen peroxide by diphenyl diselenide for highly enantioselective oxaziridinium salt mediated catalytic asymmetric epoxidation by Benjamin Buckley, Claire Elliott, Yohan Chan, Nicholas Dreyfus, Philip C. Bulman Page

“…A dual catalytic cycle is proposed, in which diphenyl diselenide is initially converted into the perseleninic acid, which in turn oxidises an iminium ion to the corresponding oxaziridinium species, thus facilitating asymmetric oxygen transfer to an alkene. © Georg Thieme Verlag.…”
