AI Article Synopsis

  • Acylphosphonates act as strong acyl anion precursors when they react with cyanide anion, leading to a rearrangement that produces acyl anion equivalents.
  • These anions can then react with aldehydes to create various cross-benzoin products, enabling the synthesis of different aromatic and aliphatic compounds.
  • A specific reaction involving benzoylphosphonate and 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone results in a high yield of an aldehyde-ketone coupling product.

Article Abstract

[reactions: see text] Acylphosphonates are potent acyl anion precursors that generate acyl anion equivalents under the promotion of cyanide anion via phosphonate-phosphate rearrangement. These anions readily react with aldehydes to provide cross-benzoin products. In this way it is possible to synthesize a variety of aromatic-aromatic, aromatic-aliphatic, and aliphatic-aromatic benzoins. Moreover the reaction of benzoylphosphonate with potent electrophile 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone provided the corresponding aldehyde-ketone coupling product in high yield.

Halide-free ion pair organocatalyst from biobased α-hydroxy acid for cycloaddition of CO to epoxide.

Org Biomol Chem

January 2025

State Key Laboratory Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering, College of Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Engineering, Nanjing Tech University, 30 Puzhu Road South, Nanjing 211816, China.

The cycloaddition of CO to epoxide (CCE) reactions produce valuable cyclic carbonates useful in the electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries, as organic solvents, and in polymeric materials. However, halide-containing catalysts are predominantly used in these reactions, despite halides being notoriously corrosive to steel processing equipment and residual halides also having harmful effects. To eliminate the reliance on halides as cocatalyst in most CCE reactions, halide-free catalysts are highly desirable.

Bempedoic acid is a new drug that improves the control of cholesterol levels, either as monotherapy or in combination with existing lipid-lowering therapies, and shows clinical efficacy in cardiovascular disease patients. Thus, patients with comorbidities and under multiple therapies may be eligible for bempedoic acid, thus facing the potential problem of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Bempedoic acid is a prodrug administered orally at a fixed daily dose of 180 mg.

ACSL4-mediated ZIP7-VDAC3 interaction regulates endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria iron transfer in hepatocytes under PFOS exposure.

Sci Total Environ

Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, Dalian Medical University, 9 West Lvshun South Road, Dalian, China. Electronic address:

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant with adverse health consequences. Our previous studies showed that PFOS caused an increase in mitochondrial iron and accelerated the expression of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), one classic executor in the ferroptosis pathway. As ACSL4 is located in the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes, here, we intended to further explore the role of ACSL4 in the inter-organelle iron crosstalk between ER and mitochondria under PFOS exposure.

  • Ether-linked phosphatidylcholines (PCs) comprise plasmanyl and plasmenyl types, which are difficult to analyze due to the presence of isomeric and isobaric varieties in biological samples.
  • This study uses radical directed dissociation (RDD) to effectively differentiate and quantify ether PCs, identifying 30 PC-O and 21 PC-P species, along with changes in abundance related to type 2 diabetes.
  • The findings indicate that specific ether PCs are more prominent in human plasma and reveal significant decreases in certain PC species among type 2 diabetic individuals, marking the first use of RDD mass spectrometry for investigating these lipids.

Interfacial structure modification and enhanced emulsification stability of microalgae protein through interaction with anionic polysaccharides.

December 2024

Key Laboratory for Deep Processing of Major Grain and Oil (The Chinese Ministry of Education), College of Food Science and Engineering, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, Hubei, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:

Microalgae protein (MP) have emerged as a focal point of research within food processing due to its nutritional value and foaming properties. However, its isoelectric point around pH 4 leads to it susceptible to collision, binding, and precipitation. Additionally, MP has poor emulsification properties and only shows stability under strongly alkaline conditions.
