Article Synopsis
  • A new catalyst-free method has been created for adding carboxyl groups to unactivated alkenes using CO radical anions.
  • This approach allows for the efficient production of polycyclic indole derivatives and linear carboxylic acids under mild conditions, either with or without the addition of DABCO in DMSO.
  • This research represents a major advancement in green chemistry, utilizing affordable and easily accessible reagents for functionalizing unactivated alkenes.

Article Synopsis
  • Floods are a major global threat, impacting populations and infrastructure, but mapping them in hilly areas using SAR data can be difficult.
  • This study combines SAR data with a GIS-based multi-criteria approach (MCA) to improve the accuracy of flood zone identification.
  • Results show high accuracy in mapping flood extents, with significant validation using GPS data, demonstrating the utility of this method for effective flood management in challenging terrains like the Tlawng river basin.
