A versatile Bacillus esterase reveals a carboxylesterase blueprint for PET intermediate degradation
Abstract The biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and its derived intermediate breakdown products, represents a core focus of multidisciplinary research. While Ideonella sakaiensis PETase (IsPETase) and leaf-compost cutinase (LCC) efficiently depolymerize PET, many...

An ″α-Methylsulfone″ Transfer Agent: Synthesis and Application of γ-Ketosulfones
Abstract An operationally simple, metal-free one-pot method for the synthesis of γ-ketosulfone from ketone has been developed using aryl/alkyl sulfonyl hydrazide-formaldehyde as an ″α-methylsulfone″ transfer agent. This one-carbon elongation method, promoted by a TFA-morpholine s...
