Hospital Is Not the Home: Lessons From Implementing Remote Technology to Support Acute Inpatient and Transitional Care in the Home in the United States and United Kingdom.

The COVID-19 pandemic, patient preference, and economic opportunity are shifting acute care from the hospital to the home, supported by the transformation in remote monitoring technology. Monitoring patients with digital medical devices gives unprecedented insight into their physiology. However, this technology does not exist in a vacuum.

A simple, short, and flexible synthesis of viridiofungin derivatives.

Described herein is a simple, flexible, and efficient synthesis of the skeleton of the viridiofungins, a family of microbial secondary metabolites. The synthesis utilizes an asymmetric aldol reaction of a chiral oxazolidinone, a diastereoselective alkylation of a chiral 1,3-dioxolan-2-one, and a geometrically selective alkene cross-metathesis reaction as the key C-C bond-forming steps.

Expanding the family of phospholane-based ligands: 1,2-bis(2,5-diphenylphospholano)ethane.

[reaction: see text] 1,2-Bis(2,5-diphenylphospholano)ethane (Ph-BPE) has been synthesized for the first time through employment of an undemanding synthetic pathway. The new ligand exhibits enhanced activity and selectivity over the existing members of the BPE ligand family in rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.
