Photoinduced deprotection of 2-nitrophenylneopentyl glycol boronates enables light-triggered polycondensation of siloxanes.

Various protecting groups have been developed for boronic acids, mostly based on diols. Alternatives include trifluoroborates and amine complexes, which offer easier synthesis and release under milder conditions. We present here a new strategy involving photocleavable protecting groups for boronic and borinic acids, based on the 2-nitrobenzyl motif.

Cross-modal interactions in language production: evidence from word learning.

Literate adults are able to produce the same word in different language modalities-for instance, through speaking and writing. Yet how speaking and writing interact is not well understood. The present study takes a new perspective on the question of the co-activation of phonological and orthographic representations in speaking and writing by examining the acquisition of novel words.

[ACACIAS 3: Learning about announcement consultations in the second cycle of medical studies].

Introduction: The second cycle of medical studies is a key time for developing interpersonal skills and the doctor-patient relationship. High-fidelity simulation is an initial learning option that enables learners to confront situations involving empathy.

Methods: This is a feedback report from May 2023 on the implementation of simulation as a training tool for 2nd cycle medical students in the announcement consultation.

Different Electrophysiological Signatures of Similarity-induced and Stroop-like Interference in Language Production.

Contextual similarity between targets and competitors, whether semantic or phonological, often leads to behavioral interference in language production. It has been assumed that resolving such interference relies on control processes similar to those involved in tasks such as Stroop. This article tests this assumption by comparing the electrophysiological signatures of interference resulting from a contextual similarity versus a Stroop-like manipulation.

Selective Detection of Choline in Pseudophysiological Medium with a Fluorescent Cage Receptor.

A fluorescent cage receptor for the detection of choline in pseudophysiological medium is described. Not only does this capsule complex choline with an association constant greater than 9.9 × 10 M in buffered medium but it is also selective toward acetylcholine.
