We synthesized two vitamin D3 analogues, 3 and 4, which have a shortened or elongated fluoro-side-chain based on 24,24-difluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (5) using an efficient convergent approach and studied their preliminary biological activity. Both analogues exhibited greater resi...
Teak (Tectona grandis) is one of the world’s most valuable tropical hardwoods, yet large-scale plantation expansion is constrained by inefficient and variable propagation systems. This review synthesizes global advances in teak propagation from 1990–2026, covering seed-based meth...
