The cyclocondensation of tetrabromocyclopropene and furan leads directly to a halogenated oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene derivative. Over the past several years, we have utilized these compounds as intermediates for natural product synthesis. Herein, we describe the preparation of nonracemic dibromoenone building blocks from the racemic cycloadduct. Conversion of the adduct to a mixture of tartrate-derived ketals followed by separation of the diastereomers and hydrolysis allows for the formation of novel chiral synthons with either absolute configuration.

The lack of resources for mental health diagnosis and treatment contributes greatly to maternal morbidity and mortality. Social and cultural barriers, along with the impact of social determinants of health create burdens that prevent mothers from accessing care and treatment. Telehealth care improves access and is widely accepted by clinicians, patients, and their families by reducing need for in person visits, providing privacy, and decreasing costs.

Sphingolipids serve as building blocks of membranes to ensure subcellular compartmentalization and facilitate intercellular communication. How cell type-specific lipid compositions are achieved and what is their functional significance in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance has remained unclear. Here, we identify a stem cell-specific role for ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) in orchestrating fate decisions in skin epidermis.

This paper presents a new strategy for the construction of the chiral 4-chromene skeleton. A series of chiral 2-trifluoromethyl-4-(indol-3-yl)-4-chromenes were synthesized in moderate to good yields (60-92%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) through the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric condensation of 2-chromenes and indoles. These trifluoromethylated, stereochemically rich building blocks hold potential value in medicinal chemistry.

Functional principal component analysis has been shown to be invaluable for revealing variation modes of longitudinal outcomes, which serve as important building blocks for forecasting and model building. Decades of research have advanced methods for functional principal component analysis, often assuming independence between the observation times and longitudinal outcomes. Yet such assumptions are fragile in real-world settings where observation times may be driven by outcome-related processes.
