Summary: A cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of β,β-dialkyl α,β-unsaturated esters using PMHS as a reductive reagent was reported, delivering esters with a chiral trialkyl carbon center at the β-position with high yield and high enantioselectivity. The chiral tridentate ligand OIP showed excellent performance in the asymmetric reduction, replacing the need for chiral bidentate ligands. This simple protocol utilizes readily available PMHS as a cost-effective and easy-to-handle reductive reagent for a wide range of substrates.

Summary: This study developed a new method for synthesizing alpha,beta-unsaturated thioesters via nickel-catalyzed thiocarbonylation reaction of vinyl triflates with arylsulfonyl chlorides. By using Mo(CO)(6) as both CO source and reductant, alpha,beta-unsaturated thioesters were obtained in moderate to good yields with excellent functional group compatibility. It is notable that this is the first example of nickel-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated thioesters using arylsulfonyl chlorides as the coupling partner.

Summary: In this study, a new synthetic method was proposed to achieve >99%(E)-selective synthesis of beta-phosphoroxylated alpha,beta-unsaturated esters using mild trimethylamine-catalyzed 1,3-hydrogen migration of unconjugated intermediates derived from solvent-free Perkow reaction. Versatile beta,beta-disubstituted (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters were obtained with full (E)-stereoretentivity by cleavage of the phosphoenol linkage via Negishi cross-coupling. Moreover, a stereoretentive (E)-rich mixture of alpha,beta-unsaturated ester derived from 2-chloroacetoacetate was easily obtained in one operation.

Summary: We have demonstrated the activation of the carbonyl group of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones by weak interactions such as halogen bonding (XB). Carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) has been successfully used as the sole reagent for the selective synthesis of flavanones and aza-flavanones from 2'-hydroxy- and 2'-aminochalcones, without the use of any metals or additives. DFT calculations provide support for the catalytic role of XB between the oxygen of chalcones and CBr4 in these reactions.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of Pt nanoparticle size on the activity and selectivity of polyethylene hydrogenolysis. The results show that the smallest Pt nanoparticles exhibit the highest activity, while the three different-sized Pt nanoparticles have equivalent selectivity. Furthermore, the study also reveals that the mesoporous pores template the formation of a C 23 -centered distribution of hydrocarbons. These findings provide a framework for catalyst design by separating the carbon-carbon bond cleavage activity from the selectivity for chain lengths of the products.

Summary: The C-H/Et-Al exchange reaction of saturated hydrocarbons and AlEt3 using zirconium catalysts produces versatile organoaluminum compounds and ethane. The grafting of commercially available Zr(OtBu)(4) on silica/alumina provides monopodal SiO-Zr(OtBu)(3) surface pre-catalyst sites that can be activated by ligand exchange with AlEt3. This selective methyl group alumination enables the C-H alumination of various hydrocarbon substrates without significant chain deconstruction. Additionally, methane can undergo selective mono-alumination under solvent-free catalytic conditions.

Summary: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of acute liver failure in the USA and Europe, but most cases can be recovered or prevented by discontinuing the offending drug. Recent research has found that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be used as a potential indicator for early diagnosis of DILI, and there is an urgent need to establish a method to detect and track peroxynitrite in DILI cases. In this study, a FRET-based nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed, which showed high selectivity and sensitivity in detecting peroxynitrite. The probe successfully detected exogenous peroxynitrite in live cells and endogenous peroxynitrite in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.
