Nitrogen heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are emerging as effective substitutes for conventional thiol ligands in surface functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs), offering exceptional stability to NPs under harsh conditions. However, the highly reactive feature of NHCs limits their use in introducing chemically active groups onto the NP surface. Herein, we develop a general yet robust strategy for the efficient surface functionalization of NPs with copolymer ligands bearing various functional groups.

The inverse electron demand diels-alder (IEDDA): A facile bioorthogonal click reaction for development of injectable polysaccharide-based hydrogels for biomedical applications.

The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition between tetrazines and strained dienophiles is recognized as a fast and specific reaction. The integrating tetrazines and strained dienophiles onto the backbone of polysaccharides yield appropriate water-soluble precursors for IEDDA cycloaddition. Due to the high specificity of the IEDDA reaction and its outstanding cytocompatibility, a range of cargos (live cells, peptides and pharmaceuticals) can be effectively encapsulated in polysaccharide solutions throughout the hydrogel formation.

Cu(OTf)-catalyzed multicomponent reactions.

Beilstein J Org Chem

January 2025

Dipartimento di Scienza e Alta Tecnologia, Università degli Studi dell'Insubria, Via Valleggio 9, 22100, Como, Italy.

This review reports the achievements in copper(II) triflate-catalyzed processes concerning the multicomponent reactions, applied to the synthesis of acyclic and cyclic compounds. In particular, for the heteropolycyclic systems mechanistic insights were outlined as well as cycloaddition and aza-Diels-Alder reactions were included. These strategies have gained attention due to their highly atom- and step-economy, one-step multi-bond forming, mild reaction conditions, low cost and easy handling.

DFT Investigation of the Stereoselectivity of the Lewis-Acid-Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reaction between 2,5-Dimethylfuran and Acrolein.

ACS Omega

January 2025

Laboratory of Theoretical Chemistry, Theoretical and Structural Physical Chemistry Unit, Namur Institute of Structured Matter (NISM), University of Namur, rue de Bruxelles, 61, B-5000 Namur, Belgium.

Density functional theory (DFT) has been enacted to study the Diels-Alder reaction between 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF), a direct product of biomass transformation, and acrolein and to analyze its thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanism when catalyzed by a Lewis acid (LA), in comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction. The uncatalyzed reaction occurs via a typical one-step asynchronous process, corresponding to a normal electron demand (NED) mechanism, where acrolein is an electrophile whereas 2,5-DMF is a nucleophile. The small endo selectivity in solvents of low dielectric constants is replaced by a small exo selectivity in solvents with larger dielectric constants, such as DMSO.

Artemyriantholidimers A-G, undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers from Artemisia myriantha and their antihepatoma activities.

Artemyriantholidimers A-G (1-7), seven undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers (GSDs), and 27 known compounds (8-34) were isolated from Artemisia myriantha (Asteraceae). Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated based on the comprehensive analyses of UV, IR, MS, NMR data, quantum chemical NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analyses, and the absolute configurations were elucidated by ECD calculations. The undescribed GSDs (1-7) were presumably formed via Diels-Alder reactions, and compounds 5-7 were rare GSDs with α-configuration of H-6'.
