Quantitative impact damage of apple based on hyperspectral imaging combined with mechanical parameters and size correction.

In order to solve the problem of decreasing the accuracy of quantitative prediction of damage of fruits resulting in the size difference of fruits, the spectral correction method based on the size difference of fruits was adopted. To provide richer theoretical knowledge for the quality detection of fruits and the design of damage reduction programs in reality. First, the undamaged spectra of the group of apples with better performance of the model were selected as the reference spectra by analyzing and comparing the modeling results of the prediction models of mechanical parameters with the single fruit diameter groups.

A radical 1,4-aryl migration enables nickel-catalysed remote cross-electrophile coupling of β-bromo amino acid esters with vinyl triflates.

A radical 1,4-aryl migration enabling a cross-electrophile coupling reaction toward remote alkylation of -benzyl alanine has been developed. In this strategy, with the occurrence of a radical-mediated Turce-Smiles rearrangement, key α-aminoalkyl radicals are generated. The as-formed α-aminoalkyl radical serves as a robust coupling partner for cross-electrophilic coupling with vinyl triflates, affording a series of olefin-tethered amino acid motifs.

Nickel-Catalyzed Radical Heck-Type C(sp)-C(sp) Coupling Cascades Enabled by Bromoalkane-Directed 1,4-Aryl Shift: Access to Olefinated Arylalanines.

A bromoalkane-directed radical 1,4-aryl shift strategy for nickel-catalyzed reductive Heck-type C(sp)-C(sp) coupling cascades of α-amino-β-bromocarboxylic acid esters with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes for producing -difluorinated arylalanines is presented. The α-aminoalkyl radicals generated from neophyl-type aryl migration function as robust coupling partners to allow for further Giese-type addition with electron-deficient α-trifluoromethyl alkenes and vinyl sulfones, thereby realizing a new radical cascade for the simultaneous installation of an aromatic ring and olefin motif into amino acid backbones.
