Abstract:
Molecular mechanisms of morphogenesis and pattern formation have been extensively studied during the last decades. Recent data suggest that many of the signalling systems as well as transcription factors governing embryonic development in the higher animals have been already established in the lower Metazoa. This review summarizes the information on the roles of peptide systems, signal transduction cascades, transcriptional activators and the extracellular matrix-processing enzymes in the developmental processes in Hydra.

Formation of Halohydrin from Alkenes
Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
