Intramolecular Photocycloaddition of 2(5<i>H</i>)‑Furanones to Temporarily Tethered Terminal Alkenes as a Stereoselective Source of Enantiomerically Pure Polyfunctionalyzed Cyclobutanes
Allyloxymethyloxymethyl
and 4-pentenoyloxymethyl substituents have
been used as tethering groups to study the intramolecular [2 + 2]
photocycloaddition of chiral 5-substituted 2(5<i>H</i>)-furanones.
The photoreactions proceed in good yield and provide the expected
regio- and diastereoselective tricyclic compounds with complementary
regioselectivity, which depends on whether the vinyl chain is attached
to the furanone by an acetal or an ester linkage. Computational simulations
agree with experimental observations and indicate that the origin
of the different observed regioselectivity in the intramolecular photochemical
reaction of lactones <b>5</b> and <b>6</b> arises from
the relative stability of the initial conformers. The synthetic potential
of the enantiomerically pure photoadducts is illustrated by preparing
an all-<i>cis</i> 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclobutane bearing
fully orthogonally protected hydroxyl groups

A comparison of two complete feed blocks based on sorghum stover of two different cultivars on weight gain in sheep and economy of feeding
The effect of different sorghum stover fodder quality in densified total mixed ration (DTMR) feed blocks was investigated. An experimental feed block with a low cost stover was compared with a commercial feed block produced by Miracle Feeds and Fodder Pvt. Ltd. that consisted of a premium sorghum stover (about 50%) and concentrate in equal proportions. Concentrate component consisted of bran and husks/hulls (18%), oilcakes (18%), molasses (8%) with the rest contributed by maize grain, urea, minerals and vitamins. In the experimental DTMR feed block the premium stover was replaced by low cost stover and rest of the composition was same. The two blocks were fed ad libitum to growing sheep measuring intake, digestibility and weight gain. No difference was observed in digestibility between the groups fed the commercial and the experimental block. Intake in the group fed the commercial block was 37 g/kg LW compared to 32.8 g/kg LW in the experimental block group (P=0.07). Daily live weight gain in the former group was twice that of the latter (90 vs. 45g; P=0.04). However, both feeding regimes were uneconomical, with the experimental feeding regime even resulting in monetary loss
