Cu-Catalyzed Regioselective Silylation of Chloro-Substituted Allenyl-Bdan.

A copper-catalyzed efficient regioselective silylation reaction of chloro-substituted allenyl-Bdan was developed. Under mild reaction conditions, allenyl and propargyl silane compounds can be selectively obtained in moderate to high yields by adjusting the bases and solvents used in the reactions. This study offers direct and efficient methods for synthesizing multifunctionalized allenyl and propargyl silane compounds from the same initial material of chloro-substituted allenyl-Bdan.

Diagnostic value of BinaxNOW antigen card for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2.

Rapid laboratory detection is remarkably crucial to diagnosing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, due to whose outbreak causes to the world pandemic. The BinaxNOW antigen card (BinaxNOW) is a simple, effective, and cheap tool to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The meta-analysis in this study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of BinaxNOW for SARS-CoV-2.

Synthesis of Allenyl-Bdan via Cu(I)-Catalyzed Borylation of Propargyl -Dichlorides.

A copper-catalyzed borylation of propargyl dichlorides was developed under mild reaction conditions. The corresponding chloro-substituted allenyl-Bdan products were obtained in good yields. The utilities of allenyl-Bdan products were examined by their diverse derivatizations.

Diagnostic value of Lipoarabinomannan antigen for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis in adults and children with or without HIV infection.

Objectives: Even today, tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading public health problem; yet, the current diagnostic methods still have a few shortcomings. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) provides an opportunity for TB diagnosis, and urine LAM detection seems to have a promising and widely applicable prospect.

Design Or Methods: Four databases were systematically searched for eligible studies, and the quality of the studies was evaluated using the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies-2 (QUADAS-2).
