Engineering Anaerobic Metabolic Branch Points to Control Carbon Allocation Between Wax Ester Synthesis and Succinate Accumulation in Euglena gracilis

ABSTRACT Under anaerobic conditions, Euglena gracilis degrades paramylon and synthesizes wax esters (WEs) while accumulating succinate in the culture supernatant. Succinate can either be converted to succinyl‐CoA by succinyl‐CoA synthetase (SCS) and enter the propionyl‐CoA biosyn...

Reaction of α-Iodoalkyldifluoroboranes with Copper(II) Carboxylates via a Tetracoordinate Boron Intermediate

Abstract The reaction of α-iodoalkyldifluoroboranes with copper(II) carboxylates affords α-acyloxyalkyldifluoroboranes. In this process, the high Lewis acidity of alkyldifluoroboranes constitutes the driving force for the formation of a tetracoordinate boron intermediate, as sugg...
