Summary: The synthesis of N-substituted indolo[2,3-b]-quinoxalines was achieved through Ru(II)-catalyzed ortho C-H functionalization of 2-arylquinoxalines with sulfonyl azides followed by further oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone. This strategy provided a new efficient route for the preparation of biologically relevant compounds with a broad substrate scope. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the C-N bond formations proceed through a five-membered ruthenacyclic intermediate in the first step and a radical mechanism in the second step.

Summary: This study reports an improved direct access to red-emitting BOIMPY fluorophores, starting from easily available benzimidazole-2-carboxylic acids, which greatly enhances yields and saves costs, facilitating the synthesis of novel unsymmetrical BOIMPY motifs. As a result, the BOIMPY scaffolds derived from the BODIPY core become more accessible for applications as fluorophores at the appealing red edge of the visible spectrum.

Summary: A high-yielding one-pot synthesis method for the bis-sulfonyl dibenzooxabicyclo[5.5.0]dodecanes has been developed under open-vessel atmosphere conditions. This method involves a double substitution reaction between 1,3-dichloroacetone and arenesulfinic acid sodium salts, followed by C- and O-alkylation of the resulting 1,3-bis-sulfonylacetones with o-bis(bromomethyl)arenes. The formation of three carbon-carbon single bonds, two carbon-sulfur single bonds, and one carbon-oxygen single bond contributes to the success of this protocol.

Summary: This study presents a one-pot synthesis of twisted polyarenes using nickel-catalyzed cyclo-oligomerization reactions. The highly twisted helical structures consist of equal parts left- and right-handed enantiomers. Chiral resolution yielded two stable enantiomers with absorption dissymmetry factors of around 0.008-0.009.

Summary: In this study, a one-pot construction method for diversified sulfonyl flavones was developed. The alpha-sulfonyl o-hydroxyacetophenones were reacted with substituted nitriles through a K2CO3-mediated (5+1) stepwise annulation under open-flask atmosphere conditions. This method offers intermolecular and intramolecular ring-closure pathways by forming a carbon-oxygen single bond, a carbon-carbon double bond, and cleaving a carbon-nitrile triple bond.

Summary: In this study, the sulfur and nitrogen moieties of methylphenyl sulfoximine (MPS)-enabled aryl thioamides were independently involved in annulation with unactivated alkynes to construct unusual 6,6-fused thiopyranoisoquinoline skeletons. The innovative Ru-catalyzed one-pot double annulation of aryl thioamides with alkynes was achieved through overcoming challenges such as the S poisoning effect and susceptibility of S to oxidation. The novel isothiochromene-1-one skeletons were successfully constructed, initiating the annulation with S preference over the N motif of thioamides with alkynes.

Summary: The study aimed to deliver a high dose of voriconazole to the lung through dry powder for inhalation. The research demonstrated that drug nanocrystals, due to their size and rapid dissolution, can avoid clearance mechanisms in the lung. The nanocrystalline solid dispersion of voriconazole showed improved dissolution and uptake in cells compared to the microcrystalline solid dispersion. In addition, upon inhalation, the nanocrystals led to higher drug concentrations in the lung compared to plasma.

Summary: Compounds with (NHC) -> E coordination bond have attracted significant interest in the past 15 years, with NHC and E representing N-heterocyclic carbene and main group elements, respectively. Among these compounds, NHOs stand out due to their (NHC)->CR2 interaction and interesting reactions. The study explores the electronic structure details of a series of oximes and nitroso NHOs using density functional theory (DFT) and suggests that a structure with (NHC) -> C coordination interaction can be considered as one of the resonance structures of these species.
