In this work, guanidine-H2O reactions with n = 1-8 water molecules were systematically studied by ab initio methods. The result suggests that the reduced availability of water molecules greatly inhibits the strong base guanidine from producing OH-. That is, guanidine exhibits the behavior of a weak bases in low-humidity nanoscale environments. Intriguingly, this effect is not limited to guanidine but could be applied to other strong bases. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the direction of guanidine-CO2 reactions can be controlled by changing the number of water molecules present, which in turn responds to the humidity change in air. These findings not only shed some light on unconventional chemical reactions of strong bases in atmospheric clusters and on solid porous surfaces, but also provide insights into the development of guanidine-based CO2 air-capture sorbents.The total synthesis of the natural product coralmycin A/epi-coralmycin A, as well as a desmethoxy analogue is described. Synthesis was achieved via a divergent, bidirectional solid-phase strategy, including a key on-resin O-acylation, O to N acyl shift, and O-alkylation protocol to incorporate the unusual 4-amino-2-hydroxy-3-isopropoxybenzoic acid motifs. The synthetic natural product was generated as a 1  1 mixture of epimers at the central β-methoxyasparagine residue and exhibited potent antibacterial activity against a panel of ten Gram-negative and seven Gram-positive organisms. The desmethoxy analogue possessed significantly more potent antimicrobial activity against this panel with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) as low as 50 nM.Though liposome-based drugs are in clinical use, the mechanism of cell internalization of liposomes is yet an object of controversy.
