Dimerization of a-methylstyrene (AMS) catalyzed by acidic ionic liquids, such as Et3NHCl-AlCl3 and Et3NHCl-FeCl3, and the effect of different organic solvents to the catalytic reaction were investigated.
Studies of transgenic plantsexpressing point mutation and deletions within CNT1 demonstrate thatCNT1-mediated dimerization is required for light activation of the C-terminal domain ofCRY1 (CCT1).
