Article Synopsis
- Obesity in Mexico is rising, particularly among the young, with dietary factors impacting oral health; this study examines how oral health status relates to diet in Yucatan.
- The study investigates the link between oral health-related quality of life and adherence to the Mediterranean diet among a diverse group of participants aged 4 to 72.
- Results show that low adherence to the Mediterranean diet correlates with higher rates of dental caries, suggesting dietary habits significantly affect oral health quality and highlighting the need for further research on preventive measures in the community.
A new approach to ring-opening polymerization (ROP) based on C(sp)-C(sp) bond cleavage is reported. This process is based on the ability of Pd to promote both the β-carbon elimination of a bifunctional cyclobutanol precursor and the C-C coupling process with the resulting Pd-alkyl intermediate. Consequently, novel polyketone materials are obtained.

Overall, the sequential cleavage of a strained and an unstrained Csp-Csp bond leads to the formal [2 + 2]-retrocyclization products, namely, styrene and acetophenone derivatives. This procedure might enable the use of cyclobutanols as masked acetyl groups, resisting harsh conditions in organic synthesis.
