Catalyzed Enantioselective Anti-Carboboration of Alkenyl Carbonyl Compounds COMMUNICATION Directed, Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Enantioselective anti-Carboboration of Alkenyl Carbonyl Compounds Zhen Liu, Xiaohan Li, Tian Zeng, Keary M. Engle* Abstract: A substrate-directed enantioselective and electron-deficient olefins (L11–L13) also failed to exert anti-carboboration reaction of alkenes has been developed, any chiral induction. To our delight, screening of monodentate wherein a carbon-based nucleophile and a boron moiety are imidazoline (MIM)(L15–L17) and MOX ligands (L18–L39) installed across the C=C bond through a 5- or 6-membered gave us reasonable levels of enantioselectivity, showing that palladacycle intermediate. The reaction is promoted by a these ligand scaffolds are privileged in this reaction. We palladium(II) catalyst and a mondentate oxzazoline ligand. A decided to choose the MOX scaffold for further optimization range of enantioenriched secondary alkylboronate products were based on synthetic accessibility considerations. The effect of obtained with moderate to high enantioselectivity that could be different MOX ligands on the alkene carboboration reaction is further upgraded by recrystallization. This work represents a new similar to the trends in He, Peng, and Chen’s report.[2c] method to synthesize versatile and valuable alkylboronate building blocks. Building on an earlier mechanistic proposal by Tryptophan-derived ligands showed higher levels of chiral Peng, He, and Chen, a revised model is proposed to account for induction than other amino acid derivatives in terms of chiral the stereoconvergent nature of this transformation. induction.

Formed in 1996 as a partnership between the State of Maryland, the City of Baltimore, the University System of Maryland and the University of Maryland Medical System, IHV is an institute of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and is home to some of the most globally-recognized and world- renowned experts in the field of human virology. IHV was co-founded by Robert Gallo, MD, director of the of the IHV, William Blattner, MD, retired since 2016 and formerly associate director of the IHV and director of IHV’s Division of Epidemiology and Prevention and Robert Redfield, MD, resigned in March 2018 to become director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and formerly associate director of the IHV and director of IHV’s Division of Clinical Care and Research. In addition to the two Divisions mentioned, IHV is also comprised of the Infectious Agents and Cancer Division, Vaccine Research Division, Immunotherapy Division, a Center for International Health, Education & Biosecurity, and four Scientific Core Facilities.

The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.

  • Artist Bio Xiaotian Grew up in Xi'an, China, and Came to The
    Xiaotian Liu | Artist Bio Xiaotian grew up in Xi’an, China, and came to the United States in 2009. Her musical training began at the age of four on classical piano and age thirteen on guitar. During college at the University of Kansas, Xiaotian received comprehensive training in music and music therapy, participated in vocal and instrumental ensembles,. In addition to solo performances on piano, voice, guitar, and music composition. With a Bachelor degree in music therapy, Xiaotian entered the field of healthcare. She worked as a music therapist with various populations. Eventually, she committed to hospice and palliative care where impending death casts a sense of urgency on the quality of life. During work, she often collaborates with dying patients and their families to sing, play instruments, or write songs together as a way for healing, bonding, expression, response, or sometimes spiritual quest. Parallel to this experience, her musical composition increased and expanded. Witnessing death daily has influenced Xiaotian heavily in her view of the world, which include value, people, the self, and music. To her, music was the only way she could connect deeply and directly with the patients in a non-intrusive, natural, and reciprocal manner. In music, the physical, social, or worldly confinements of her and her patients dissolve, and the feeling of oneness rises, as they energetically synchronize to the same beat, rhythm, harmony, or musical groove. Following the hospice work, in 2015, Xiaotian held a concert that wove together the music and stories from her interactions with the dying, at 江 湖 (JIANG HU, music club) in Beijing, China.
