Osmium-Catalyzed Dihydroxylation of Olefins in Acidic Media: Old Process, New Tricks
TL;DR: A screen of over 500 diversely functionalized additives in osmium-catalyzed dihydroxylation has uncovered that electron-deficient olefins are converted into the corresponding diols much more efficiently when the pH of the reaction medium is maintained on the acidic side as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of symmetrical or nearly symmetrical Diels-Alder reactions are studied by a combination of experimental isotope effects, theoretical calculations, and rate observations.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, LAT1 can transport amino acid-like substrates with wide-ranging polarities including those containing ionizable substituents and the rate of LAT1 transport was generally nonstereoselective even though enantiomers likely exhibit different binding modes.
