4-Aminophenyl cations (expediently generated by photolysis of 4-chloroaniline and its N,N-dimethyl derivative by photolysis in MeCN) added to enamines and gave the corresponding alpha-(4-aminophenyl) ketones in satisfactory yields. The yields of the same ketones were increased when silyl enol ethers were used in the place of enamines. The alpha-arylation of silyl enol ethers of aldehydes occurred with lower yields and only with the N,N-dimethyl derivative. The procedure was successful with ketene silyl acetals giving in a single step a good yield of alpha-(4-aminophenyl)propionic(acetic) esters, known intermediates for the preparation of analgesic compounds. The reaction of the aryl cation with Danishefsky's diene gave the arylated beta-methoxy enone. The method is complementary to the recently developed palladium-catalyzed alpha-arylation and occurs under neutral conditions.

One-pot multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are a valuable strategy to synthesize functional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in a single step. Most reported COF syntheses involve solvothermal processes, and because of the harsh reaction conditions, such as high temperature or high pressure, large-scale production of COFs has been limited. The synthesis of homoallylamine substituted COFs via a one-pot Hosomi-Sakurai reaction is reported.

Chameleonic Cages: Encapsulation of Anionic, Neutral, and Cationic Guest Species within [FeL] Tetrahedral Cages Synthesised from the tris(4-aminophenyl)phosphate pro-Ligand.

An adaptable Fe(II) tetrahedral cage, [FeL][BF] (L=tris(4-(((E)-pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)phenyl) phosphate), has been synthesised via self-assembly. By modulating the orientation of its pendant P=O groups, the cage was found to be capable of encapsulating anionic, neutral, and cationic guests, which were confirmed in the solid state via single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and in solution by high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HR-MS), as well as by NMR (H, F, P) studies where possible.

A heterogenized Mn(III) porphyrin-based catalyst was prepared for dye degradation. The new Mn(III) complex of 5,15-bis(4-aminophenyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin was immobilized, via covalent bond, in chloropropyl silica gel, generating the material (Sil-Cl@MnP) with a loading of 23 μmol manganese porphyrin (MnP) per gram of Sil-Cl. This material was used as a catalyst in degradation reactions of model dyes, a cationic dye [methylene blue (MB)] and an anionic dye (reactive red 120, RR120), using PhI(OAc) and HO as oxidants.

Stabilization of Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells with a 2D Dion-Jacobson Passivating Layer.

Inorganic metal halide perovskites such as CsPbI are promising for high-performance, reproducible, and robust solar cells. However, inorganic perovskites are sensitive to humidity, which causes the transformation from the black phase to the yellow δ, non-perovskite phase. Such phase instability has been a significant challenge to long-term operational stability.

Bioactive Peptide-Mimicking Polymer Nanoparticles for Bacteria Imaging and Chemo/Immunotherapy of Intracellular Infection.

Intracellular bacterial infections are extremely difficult to be treated because intracellular bacteria have developed resistant mechanisms to escape the immune attack and antibiotic therapy. It remains challenging to develop antibiotic-free materials and relative strategies for treating intracellular bacterial infections. Herein, a new host-defense peptide-mimicking polymer nanoparticle, inspired by cell-penetrating peptides, was developed to eradicate intracellular bacteria by its outstanding antibacterial and pro-inflammatory immunomodulatory.
