When phenyl tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranosiduronic acid esters were coupled with a 1/1 mixture of alpha and beta 2,3 di-O-protected D-galactopyranosiduronic acid esters, the beta-anomer proved to be more reactive. Data from theoretical calculations suggested that the enhanced reactivity of this anomer compared with the alpha one would be due to a stronger hydrogen bond of the C-4 OH with the ring oxygen.

Due to uncontrolled cell proliferation and disrupted vascularization, many cancer cells in solid tumors have limited oxygen supply. The hypoxic microenvironments of tumors lead to metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells, contributing to therapy resistance and metastasis. To identify better targets for the effective removal of hypoxia-adaptive cancer cells, it is crucial to understand how cancer cells alter their metabolism in hypoxic conditions.

The selective oxidative cleavage and functionalization of C(OH)-C bonds in tertiary alcohols harbor immense feasibility in organic synthesis and enable the production of high value-added chemicals from renewable biomass. However, it remains a challenge, owing to the inherent kinetic inertness and thermodynamic stability of C(OH)-C bonds and the lack of C-H. Taking the huge potential and challenge of C(OH)-C bond activation and functionalization into consideration, herein, we show the first example of an inexpensive bifunctional ferric nitrate catalyst for catalytic direct oxidation of structurally distinct tertiary alcohols to esters with environmentally benign molecular oxygen as an oxidant and MeOH as a solvent, without the assistance of any additives.

Plastic materials are ubiquitous, leading to constant human exposure to plastic additives such as plasticizers. There is growing evidence that plasticizers may contribute to obesity due to their disruptive effects on metabolism. Alternatives like diisononylcyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) are replacing traditional phthalates such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), which are now banned due to their proven harmful health effects.

The prevalence and persistence of phthalate esters (PAEs) in agricultural soils has garnered global attention. Assessing their potential impacts on crop yield and quality necessitates a thorough understanding of their risks. In this study, we elucidated the carbon flow-dependent mechanisms of the decreased grain quality upon exposure to PAEs through a soil-based rice cultivation experiment.

Based on the observation that urea, water, and ethyl esters (EE) can form gypsum-like mixtures, this study explored the feasibility of employing water as a solvent for urea in the urea complexation method to enrich n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-containing ethyl esters (DHA- EE) from Crypthecodinium cohnii as the material. Under the conditions of a urea/DHA-EE ratio of 3, a water/DHA-EE ratio of 0.75, a mixing temperature of 65℃, and a cooling temperature of 20℃, a concentrate containing over 90% DHA was achieved.
