The unprecedented application of unmodified aldehydes as nucleophilic donors in direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reactions is disclosed in a full account. Our efforts in broadening the applicability of chiral pyrrolidine-based catalysts in direct asymmetric Mannich-type reactions led to the highly diastereo- and enantioselective and concise synthesis of functionalized alpha- and beta-amino acids, beta-lactams, and amino alcohols.

The efficient utilization of lignocellulosic hydrolysates in bioprocesses is impeded by their complex composition and the presence of toxic compounds, such as furan aldehydes, formed during lignocellulose pretreatment. Biological detoxification of these furan aldehydes offers a promising solution to enhance the utilization of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 is known to metabolize furan aldehydes, yet the complete spectrum of reaction products and dynamics remains unclear.

Thermoplastic properties in cellulosic materials can be achieved by opening the glucose rings in cellulose and introducing new functional groups. Using molecular dynamics, we simulated amorphous cellulose and eight modified versions under dry and moist conditions. Modifications included ring openings and functionalization with hydroxy, aldehyde, hydroxylamine, and carboxyl groups.

Dynamic chitosan-based hydrogels with enhanced antioxidant activity were synthesized through the formation of reversible imine linkages with 5-methoxy-salicylaldehyde. These hydrogels exhibited a porous structure and swelling capacity, influenced by the crosslinking degree, as confirmed by SEM and POM analysis. The dynamic nature of the imine bonds was characterized through NMR, swelling studies in various media, and aldehyde release measurements.

In current study, a new adsorbent based on aminated phenol-formaldehyde composite was prepared using chitosan as modifier. Various techniques were adopted to characterize the morphology and structure of the prepared adsorbent. Due to the abundant amino groups, the obtained adsorbent presented satisfactory adsorption performance towards fluoroquinolones (FQs) and heavy metal ions (including Cu, Cd and Pb) by means of multiple forces including electrostatic, H-bonding, π-π stacking interactions (for FQs) and chelating force (for heavy metal ions).

Article Synopsis
- Creating a bone regeneration microenvironment that harmonizes bone formation and immune responses is complicated, but researchers developed a bacterial cellulose scaffold (FOBS) to tackle this challenge.
- The scaffold features chemically modified cellulose that enhances bonding with dopamine and promotes calcium and phosphate deposition, leading to a significant increase in hydroxyapatite content.
- FOBS not only shifts the immune environment from M1 to M2 macrophages, which are more favorable for healing, but also boosts the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, as shown in animal studies.
