The importance of lactone synthesis is underscored by its presence in diverse molecules of pharmacological significance, including statins (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors).
When there are two functional groups of unequal reactivity within a molecule, the more reactive group can be made to react alone, but it may not be possible to react the less reactive functional group selectively.
A group the use of which makes possible to react a less reactive functional group selectively in presence of a more reactive group is known as protecting group.
A protecting group blocks the reactivity of a functional group by converting it into a different group which is inert to the conditions of some reaction(s) that is to be carried out as part of a synthetic route

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Molecular rearrangements involving electron deficient nitrogen as an intermediate
1. Submitted to: Dr. Mridula Verma
Submitted by: Anjali Rani
MSc. 4th semester
Molecular rearrangements
involving electron deficient
Nitrogen as an intermediate
2. Migration to electron deficient
Nitrogen
This type of reaction takes place where the reaction
intermediate is nitrene. One means of generating a
nitrene is via decomposition of an acyl azide(scheme-
1).
3. Important Rearrangements involving
electron deficient Nitrogen
The Beckmann Rearrangement
The Hofmann Rearrangement
The Curtius Rearrangement
The Schmidt Rearrangement
4. The Beckmann Rearrangement
Acid catalyzed conversion of a ketoxime into N-
substituted amides.
Variety of protic acids like Lewis acids, acid
anhydrides and acyl halides cause the reaction to
occur.
Role of these catalysts is to convert the hydroxyl
group into a better leaving group.
This rearrangement is occurs in both cyclic and
acyclic compounds .
Aldoximes are less reactive.
5. • Cyclic oximes yield lactams and acyclic oximes
yield amides.
• Stereospecific in nature and involves the
migration of alkyl group anti to leaving
group(protonated -OH of oxime).
• The migrating group always retains its geometry.
• Certain conditions have been known
to racemize the oxime geometry, leading to the
formation of both regioisomers.
Oxime Amide
7. Migratory aptitude
• The relative migratory aptitudes of different groups
in Beckmann rearrangement is illustrated below.
7
8. Migratory aptitude contd.
Electron withdrawing group (-R group) attached to the
migrating aryl group retard the rate of the reaction.
Presence of electron donating group (+R) has an
accelerating influence, since the migrating group is then
better able to render arichimeric assistance to the
removal of the leaving group via the transition state.
The stereochemistry of the reaction indicates the
rearrangement is concerted with the departure of the
leaving group as indicated by step-2 of scheme -1 in the
next slide.
10. Applications in drug synthesis:-
• An alternative industrial synthesis method for
Paracetamol.
7
• The Beckmann rearrangement is also used
in the synthesis of
• DHEA
• Benazepril
• Etazepine etc.
11. Applications in polymer synthesis:-
• Beckmann rearrangement can be rendered catalytic using
cyanuric chloride and zinc chloride as a co-catalyst. For
example, cyclododecanone can be converted to the
corresponding lactam, the monomer used in the
production of Nylon 12.
12. Applications in polymer synthesis:-
• The Beckmann rearrangement is also
used in the synthesis of Nylon 6.

2
13. The Hofmann Rearrangement
• Amides with no substituent on the nitrogen react
with solutions of bromine or chlorine in sodium
hydroxide to yield amines through a reaction
known as the Hofmann rearrangement or
Hofmann degradation.
14. Reaction Mechanism
The reaction of bromine with sodium hydroxide forms sodium
hypobromite in situ, which transforms the primary amide into an
intermediate isocyanate.
The Hofmann rearrangement involves a 1,2-shift of group with
its electron pair to an electron-deficient NITROGEN.
MECHANISM :- The reaction is believed to proceed through
following steps---
Step 1: Bromination of nitrogen.
Step 2: Extraction of H +by OH - &
rearrangement of anion.
Step 3: Hydrolysis.
16. Reaction Mechanism contd.
1. Base abstracts an acidic N-H proton, yielding an anion.
2. The anion reacts with bromine in an α-substitution
reaction to give an N- bromoamide.
3. Base abstraction of the remaining amide proton gives a
bromoamide anion.
4. The bromoamide anion rearranges as the R group
attached to the carbonyl carbon migrates to nitrogen at
the same time the bromide ion leaves, giving an
isocyanate.
5. The isocyanate adds water in a nucleophilic addition
step to yield a carbamic acid (aka urethane).
6. The carbamic acid spontaneously loses CO2, yielding
the amine product.
18. Stereochemistry
• An interesting stereo chemical observation is that if the
migrating group (R) is chiral , its configuration is retained in
the product amine.
• Thus this rearrangement is INTRAMOLECULAR , the
migrating group does not become free , but remains attached
with the substrate in some way e.g. via bridged transition
state.
19. Applications
1. Synthesis of 10 aliphatic & aromatic amines.
2.Preparation of aldehyde.
3.In the preparation of anthranilic acid from
phthalamide.
20. The Curtius Rearrangement
The Curtius Rearrangement is the thermal decomposition of
carboxylic azides to produce an isocyanate. These intermediates
may be isolated, or their corresponding reaction or hydrolysis
products may be obtained.
The isocyanate then undergoes attack by a variety
of nucleophiles such as water, alcohols and amines, to yield a
primary amine, carbamate or urea derivative respectively.
21. The acyl azide is usually made from the reaction of acid
chlorides or anydrides[6] with sodium azide or trimethylsilyl azide
a reactive acylating agent or by diazotization of an acyl hydrazide.
The isocynates themeselves are isolated if the reaction is carried
out in an inert solvent(e.g., benzene).
22. Mechanism
Key step in this rearrangement is the thermal or
photochemical conversion of an azyl azide to an
isocyanate.
Curtius rearrangement is concerted and does not
involve the intermediacy of a nitrene (scheme- 1 in
the next slide).
Evidence to support the existence of nitrene when
tertiary alkyl azides undergo Curtius rearrangement
to form imines is shown in scheme-2 (in the next
slide).
23.
24. Stereochemistry
Studies shows that optically active azides in which
the chiral carbon is directly bonded to the carbonyl
group have shown that these reactions occur with
retention of the configuration .
Intramolecular nature has been supported by the
azide.
Azide
25. Applications
The Curtius rearrangement is tolerant of a large
variety of functional groups, and has significant
synthetic utility, as many different groups can be
incorporated depending on the choice
of nucleophile used to attack the isocyanate.
Used in the syntheses of the drugs like
tranylcypromine, candesartan, bromadol and more.
26. The Schmidt Rearrangement
Acid catalyzed conversion of carboxylic acid to
primary amines.
Catalysts are Bronsted or Lewis acid mainly
concentrated sulphuric acid.
Carboxylic acid Primary amine
27. Mechanism
• Azides may add to suitably activated
electrophiles in presence of conc. Sulphuric acid.
• Upon addition, the newly bound nitrogen atom
becomes electron-deficient and is subject to 1,2-
migration of a carbon or hydrogen substituent
with loss of a molecule of dinitrogen as shown in
Scheme- 1 in next slide.
28.
29. Mechanism
Significance of this reaction is that it is also given by
ketones, aldehydes, alcohols and alkenes ( intramolecular
and intermolecular rearrangement).
