BF·EtO-promoted unconventional reactions of 2-oxoaldehyde: access to 4-amidooxazoles and β-keto amides/sulphonamides.

This study investigates the potential of boron trifluoride etherate (BF·OEt) to trigger unprecedented reactions of 2-oxoaldehydes with nitriles and amides/sulphonamides. In contrast to the mechanism in conventional reactions, the α-carbonyl group in 2-oxoaldehydes induces a cyclization pathway to be followed when reacting with nitriles, yielding 4-amidooxazoles. Additionally, reactions with weak nucleophiles produce β-keto amides/sulphonamides.

Video Lecture Capture in Pharmacy Education: Insights From the Pandemic Experience.

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted an abrupt and widespread transition to remote learning, compelling higher education institutions to swiftly adjust to novel modalities. This study examines the post-pandemic insights and benefits of technology-enhanced learning (TEL), particularly archived video lecture capture systems, in facilitating undergraduate pharmacy education during and beyond the pandemic. Through a quantitative analysis of archival lecture views, we sought to identify critical elements that enabled a successful transition to remote learning, providing insights into sustainable educational methods for future disruptions.

A novel approach towards multiattribute decision making using q-rung orthopair fuzzy Dombi-Archimedean aggregation operators.

When dealing with real-life problems, the q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is a core concept because the power of the membership and non-membership degrees is less than or equal to one. The process of selecting and evaluating alternatives based on several criteria or characteristics is known as multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. The overview of the attribute values is a significant problem in MADM.
