RESUMO
Restricted rotations of chemical bonds can lead to the presence of persistent conformational chirality in molecules lacking stereocenters. We report the development of first-of-a-kind predictive rules that enable identification of conformational chirality and prediction of racemization barriers in the diarylether heptanoid (DAEH) natural products that do not possess stereocenters. These empirical rules-of-thumb are based on quantum mechanical computations (SCS-MP2/∞//B3LYP/6-31G*/PCM) of racemization barriers of four representative DAEHs. Specifically, the local symmetry of ring B and the E/Z configuration of the vinylogous acid/ester are critical in determining conformational chirality in the DAEH natural product family.

Medical scribes have become a widely used strategy to optimize how providers document in the electronic health record. To date, literature regarding the impact of scribes on time to complete documentation is limited. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of chart completion time among providers using scribes at our organization. A total of 148,410 scribed encounters, across 55 different clinics, were analyzed to determine variations in chart completion time. There was a significant variance in completion time between specialty groups and clinics within each specialty. Additionally, chart completion time was highly variable between providers working in the same clinic. These patterns were observed across all specialties included in our analysis. Our results suggest a higher level of variability with respect to chart completion when utilizing scribes than previously anticipated.

An unusual room temperature ß-lactone decarboxylation facilitated a five-step enantioselective formal synthesis of the cyclopentane core of an estrogen receptor ß-agonist. A computational study probed the underlying factors facilitating unprecedented, rapid decarboxylation. Aryl substitution promotes faster reaction in the retro-[2+2] as a result of conjugative stabilization with the forming olefin. Additionally, the configuration of the α-ester in these fused ß-lactones leads to differential decarboxylation rates.
