Multi-substituted trifluoromethyl alkene construction gold-catalyzed fluoroarylation of -difluoroallenes.

An unprecedented fluoroarylation of 1,1-difluoroallenes with a cost-effective nucleophilic fluoride reagent and aryldiazonium salts is reported. This visible light promoted gold-catalyzed reaction allows a stereo- and regioselective incorporation of both the fluorine atom and aryl group, enabling a straightforward construction of multi-substituted trifluoromethyl alkenes. Under the mild reaction conditions, a nice tolerance of diverse functional groups is achieved.

Visible-Light-Induced Meerwein Fluoroarylation of Styrenes.

An unprecedented approach for assembling a broad range of 1,2-diarylethane derivatives with fluorine-containing fully substituted carbon centers was developed. The protocol features straightforward operation, proceeds under metal-free condition, and accommodates a large variety of synthetically useful functionalities. The critical aspect to the success of this novel transformation lies in using aryldiazonium salts as both aryl radical progenitor and also as single electron acceptor which elegantly enables a radical-polar crossover manifold.

MiR-139-5p/SLC7A11 inhibits the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective: Pancreatic carcinoma (PANC) is one of the important aggressive cancers, with deficiency in effective therapeutics. The study aimed to investigate the effects and molecular mechanism of miR-139-5p/SLC7A11 on the proliferation and metastasis of PANC.

Methods: Bioinformatics was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in the TCGA database.

Visible-Light-Assisted Gold-Catalyzed Fluoroarylation of Allenoates.

A strategically novel synthetic method for the fluoroarylation of allenic ester was developed that enables the expedient construction of a host of β-fluoroalkyl-containing cinnamate derivatives. The reaction proceeds through visible-light-promoted gold redox catalysis, occurs smoothly under very mild reaction conditions, accommodates a large variety of functional groups, and more importantly allows the incorporation of fluorine and aryl groups with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. The concomitant activation mode for both the allene motif and the hydrogen fluoride is key for the success of the reaction.

Giant cell tumors combined with secondary aneurysmal bone cysts are more likely to develop postoperative recurrence: A retrospective study of 256 cases.

Purpose: The epidemiology and clinicopathology of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) secondary to giant cell tumors of bone (GCTBs) have been well documented in the previous literature. However, reports on whether secondary ABCs could affect the postoperative recurrence of GCTBs are rare. This study analyzed the effects of secondary ABCs and other relevant clinical factors on the postoperative recurrence of GCTBs of the extremities.

F Nucleophilic-Addition-Induced [3 + 2] Annulation: Direct Access to CF-Substituted Indenes.

An efficient [3 + 2] annulation of (2,2-difluorovinyl)-2-iodoarenes and internal alkynes was developed for the synthesis of 1-(trifluoromethyl)-1 H-indenes. The success of this strategy hinges upon a well-balanced process for the generation of two transient reactive species, specifically trifluoroethylsilver and alkenylpalladium intermediates, in the same molecule, as well as a smooth transmetalation step, which delicately joins together these two different metallic intermediates.

Intermolecular Carboamination of Unactivated Alkenes.

Herein, we report the first example of group transfer radical addition of O-vinylhydroxylamine derivatives onto unactivated alkenes. By utilizing O-vinylhydroxylamine derivatives as both the N- and C-donors, this reaction enables intermolecular carboamination of unactivated alkenes in an atom economical fashion. As the process is initiated through N-radical addition followed by C-transfer, linear carboamination products are afforded.

Palladium-Catalyzed Fluoroarylation of gem-Difluoroalkenes.

A Pd-catalyzed fluoroarylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with aryl halides is reported. By taking advantage of the in situ generated α-CF -benzylsilver intermediates derived from the nucleophilic addition of silver fluoride to gem-difluoroalkenes, this strategy bypasses the use of a strong base, thus enabling a mild and general synthetic method for ready access to non-symmetric α,α-disubstituted trifluoroethane derivatives.

Catheterization of the gallbladder: A novel mouse model of severe acute cholangitis.

Aim: To establish a severe acute cholangitis (SAC) model in mice.

Methods: Cholecystic catheterization was performed under the condition of bile duct ligation (BDL). Trans-cholecystic injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was defined as the SAC animal model.

Structure-based bioisosterism design, synthesis, insecticidal activity and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of anthranilic diamide analogues containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole rings.

Background: Anthranilic diamide derivatives are among the most important classes of synthetic insecticides. Moreover, the 1,2,4-oxadiazole heterocycle, a bioisostere of amide, has been extensively used in pesticides. In order to discover novel molecules with high insecticidal activities, a series of anthranilic diamide analogues containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole rings were designed and synthesised.
