Germanium (Ge) has long been recognized for its superior carrier mobility and narrower band gap compared to silicon, making it a promising candidate in microelectronics and optoelectronics. The recent demonstration of good biocompatibility, combined with the ability to selectively functionalize its surface, establishes the way for its use in biosensing and bioimaging. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the most recent advancements in the wet chemical functionalization of germanium surfaces.

Asymmetric synthesis relies on seamless transmission of stereochemical information from a chiral reagent/catalyst to a prochiral substrate. The disruption by substrates' structural changes presents a hurdle in innovating generality-oriented asymmetric catalysis. Here, we report a strategy for substrate adaptability by exploiting a fundamental physicochemical phenomenon-ion hydration, in developing remote desymmetrization to access P-stereogenic triarylphosphine oxides and sulfides.

-alkyl amines can be conveniently prepared in one step from nitriles by a double addition of ethyl or propyl Grignard reagent mediated by a commercially available lanthanum chloride-lithium chloride complex solution. The reaction operates on a variety of benzonitriles, with several heterocyclic nitriles and an alkyl nitrile also being suitable substrates.

Bile acid salts are steroid biosurfactants that build relatively small micelles compared to surfactants with an alkyl chain due to the rigid conformation of the steroid skeleton. In order to increase the capacity of micellar solubilization of the hydrophobic molecular guest, certain C7 alkyl derivatives were synthesized. Namely, introducing an alkyl group in the C7 position of the steroid skeleton results in a more effective increase in the micelle's hydrophobic domain (core) than the introduction in the C3 position.

Consecutive all-carbon quaternary centers were synthesized in three steps from the corresponding ketones. The three reactions were (1) Knoevenagel condensation of ketone and malononitrile to afford dicyanoalkene, (2) 1,4-addition reaction of a Grignard reagent to dicyanoalkene, and (3) oxidative transformation of a malononitrile moiety to an ester, thioester, amide, and α-nitroketone. This method was applied to the synthesis of 17α-methyl steroids with a good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity.
