Cleavage (geology)

  1. Low-energy electrons selectively cleave DNA bonds in films
    Study reveals energy-dependent selective bond cleavage in DNA films exposed to low-energy electrons using XPS analysis, showing preferential damage to N-glycosidic and sugar-phosphate bonds.
  2. Indoles converted to α-perfluoroalkylamino derivatives under mild conditions
    Novel sequential perfluoroalkylation and defluoroamination of indoles via sulfinate-derived radicals and HMDS-mediated C-F cleavage, yielding α-trifluoromethylated amines in up to 80% yield.
