Article Synopsis
- Wolfberry Lycium, part of the Solanaceae family with about 80 species, has been underexamined in terms of genome sequencing, especially for its woody species.
- The study sequenced the genomes of 13 perennial Lycium species, revealing evidence of a whole-genome triplication event that occurred after the divergence of related plant families.
- Findings suggest that specific gene expressions differ between Lycium and herbaceous plants like tomato, indicating unique evolutionary traits, as well as migration patterns from Africa to Asia and North America.
A novel, efficient Z-alkene synthesis via photocatalyzed decarboxylative couplings between terminal aryl alkynes and alkyl N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) esters, which are derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids, is described. A wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxylates as well as α-amino acid and α-oxyacid-derived esters were employed as suitable substrates. The mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and operational simplicity make this decarboxylative coupling reaction a valuable method in organic syntheses.

Under different solvent conditions, this method produced 3,3-difluorooxindoles and 3-fluorooxindoles selectively. The broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions make this transformation a valuable method in drug discovery and development.
