Summary: An efficient iron-photocatalyzed approach was developed for the double decarboxylative coupling of alkynoic acids and alkyl carboxylic acids, providing easy access to alkylated alkynes. The Fe(NO3)3 & BULL;9H2O or FeCl2/TPA catalyst exhibited good activity under blue light conditions in the presence of PhI(OAc)2, showing good functional-group tolerance and activity towards primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl carboxylic acids. Under the iron-photocatalytic system, the double decarboxylative coupling of alkynoic acids and alkyl carboxylic acids yielded alkylated alkynes in good yields.

Summary: A novel and efficient method for decarboxylative alkynylselenation of indoles using Se powder and propiolic acids as catalyst has been developed. This method avoids the use of prefabricated arylselenation reagent and over-seleniumation issues and enriches the chemistry of selenium powder. Furthermore, this reaction can be extended to pyrrole, and its practical utility has been demonstrated in gram-scale synthesis and late-stage indolylselenation of Clofibrate-derived propiolic acid.

Summary: Here, an efficient and green paired electrolysis strategy for decarboxylative coupling of alkenyl acids with diazo compounds is reported, providing a wide range of beta,gamma-alkenyl esters and amides. The method exhibits high stereoselectivity and avoids the use of transition metals and chemical redox regents. Additionally, the protocol allows for the easy synthesis of dideuterated products with a high deuterium incorporation level (93-99% D-inc.) by directly utilizing D2O, highlighting its significant value.

Summary: A copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative/decarboxylative phosphorylation of aryl acrylic acids with P(III)-nucleophiles via the Michaelis-Arbuzov rearrangement is reported. The reaction can be carried out effectively without the use of a ligand and a base. Various aryl acrylic acids and P(III)-nucleophiles are compatible in this transformation, providing β-keto-organophosphorus compounds with good to excellent yields. The possible mechanism and kinetic studies show that this transformation may proceed through second-order chemical kinetics and involves a radical process.

Summary: This study found that Cinnamomum verum has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in PMA-stimulated THP-1 cells. C. verum and its components, cinnamic acid and coumarin, significantly reduced the expression of IL-1 beta, IL-8, CCL5, and COX-2 in PMA-stimulated THP-1 cells. It also decreased ROS levels via NOX2 downregulation and inhibited the activation of PKC delta/JNK/AP-1/NF-kappa B signaling pathway.

Summary: The in-vitro study using a combination of laccase and cinnamic acid showed significant inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms growth and biofilm formation, as well as teeth whitening effects. The combination also successfully removed teeth discoloration caused by coffee without causing surface damage. The study further demonstrated the redox potential values of phenolic monomers/oligomers are related to their biological activities.

Summary: A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative elimination reaction of (hetero)aromatic propionic acids to vinyl (hetero)arenes has been developed. This method provides alkenes from carboxylic acids without the need for stoichiometric Pb or Ag additives or expensive or specialized photocatalysts. Mechanistic experiments show that the reaction proceeds via benzylic deprotonation and subsequent radical decarboxylation, which is different from the single electron-transfer mechanisms in related reactions.

Summary: “Cross-coupling reactions are powerful tools for rapidly assembling complex molecules, but their use is limited by traditional oxidative electrolytic protocols. This study demonstrates a mildly reductive Ni-electrocatalytic system that enables coupling of different carboxylates through in situ generation of redox-active esters. This simple and versatile method offers a powerful new approach for synthesis by heterocoupling various levels of redox-active esters.”

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by central cholinergic neuronal loss leading to cognitive dysfunction and impaired motor activity. Current therapies only offer symptomatic relief without addressing the underlying factors, and there is no drug to slow down disease progression. Researchers are investigating new hybrid compounds, such as ferulic acid-based derivatives, as potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
