Researchers of the ZIOC developed a method for the synthesis of completely carbon-substituted phosphoranes
As part of the ongoing research of the Laboratory of Functional Organic Compounds of the Zelinsky Institute in the field of difluorocarbene reactivity, the reaction of phosphonium phenoxide (and thiophenoxide) with difluorocarbene, leading to the formation of completely carbon-substituted λ5-phosphoranes, was discovered.

Ionic liquids were for the first time produced from biomass in the ZIOC RAS
Researchers of the Zelinsky Institute under the guidance of Academician V.P. Ananikov for the first time obtained ionic liquids from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, a "platform compound" that can be produced from plant biomass.

Comprehensive studies of the polysaccharide antigen of the cell wall of the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, the causative agent of human fungal meningitis, are carried out in the Zelinsky Institute.
Researchers of the Laboratory of Glycoconjugate Chemistryof the Zelinsky Institute have begun complex studies of polysaccharides of the cell wall of the fungus C. neoformans. Within the framework of the completed initial stage of the work, the stereo- and regio-directed synthesis of model oligosaccharides corresponding to a unique branched fragment of the capsular polysaccharide of C. neoformans - galactoxylomannan was carried out for the first time.

The strategy for oxidative acyloxylation of acetals was discovered by scientists of the ZIOC
Scientists from the Zelinsky Institute conducted a selective functionalization of the non-activated acetal α-position with the formal retention of the acetal fragment using cyclic diacyl peroxides. \
Important events:
The European Academy of Sciences (Academia Europaea) was founded in 1988. It unites about four thousand globally acknowledged experts in mathematics, medicine, natural sciences, humanities, law, economy, and social and political sciences from many countries of Europe. Among its members are also European scientists who live in other regions of the world. Currently, it includes seventy two Nobel laureates and it should be highlighted that many of them were elected to the Academy before winning the Prize.
