A new and stereoselective strategy is developed to synthesize an appropriate template 9 to obtain C-6 homologues of 1-deoxyazasugars such as 1-deoxy-D-galactohomonojirimycin (5), 1-deoxy-4-hydroxymethyl-D-glucohomonojirimycin (6), and their enantiomers. The template 9 is also used to obtain neutral nonbasic pseudo-glyconolactam (8), C-4 amino, and methyl analogues of 1-deoxy-homonojirimycin as new analogues of 1-deoxyhomoazasugars. Compound 5 is found to be a potent and specific inhibitor to alpha-galactosidase (Ki = 1.7 microM). Similarly compounds 6 (Ki= 28 microM), ent-5 (Ki= 129 microM), and ent-6 (Ki= 12 microM) exhibited specific inhibition of beta-glucosidase.

Pseudohalides such as tricyanomethanide, [C(CN)], are well known in chemistry, biochemistry and industrial chemistry. The protonated species HC(CN), a classic hydrogen pseudohalide Brønsted acid, is a very strong acid with a pK value of -5. However, HC(CN) is difficult to handle as it tends to decompose rapidly or, more precisely, to oligo- and polymerize.

Article Synopsis
- - PFAS, commonly found in consumer products and industrial applications, accumulate at waste management facilities, prompting the need for effective monitoring methods.
- - A study in Sweden analyzed drainage water samples using both grab and composite sampling methods, revealing that grab samples consistently showed higher PFAS concentrations than composite samples.
- - The research indicated that while both sampling methods could effectively analyze target PFAS compounds, differences in extractable organofluorine levels suggested that grab sampling might provide more reliable data due to fluctuations in discharges.

Seven macromolecular polysaccharides (HPP-2S-HPP-8S) were purified from the gonads of sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. They were characterized as α-glucan homologues, sharing the same α-1,4-glucan backbone substituted at C-6 positions by glucose with HPP-1S that occurs as the major polysaccharide in H. pulcherrimus, while with higher degrees of branching, and additionally possessing minor amounts of mannose and ribose.

Article Synopsis
- - Extended conjugated polyynes serve as models for the carbon polymer carbyne, though synthesizing these compounds has faced challenges, especially regarding stability which can be improved using bulky transition-metal endgroups.
- - The study details specific reactions involving a silane compound and tetrayne resulting in various heterocoupling products, which are further separated by chromatography for analysis.
- - These synthesized compounds were characterized using various techniques, revealing properties such as a nonzero optical band gap and bond length alternation, confirming their polyyne electronic structure and providing insights into their behavior as their carbon chains become longer.
A neutral germanium-centred hard and soft lewis superacid and its unique reactivity towards hydrosilanes.

The germanium-centred Lewis superacid Ge(pin) (1) was isolated as acetonitrile mono-adduct 1·MeCN and thoroughly characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and quantum chemical calculations. Ion abstraction and NMR experiments revealed the hard as well as soft Lewis superacidic nature of 1·MeCN. The title compound readily activates hydrosilanes such as EtSiH, which is not feasible for its harder silicon homologue 2·MeCN, and even reacts with EtSiF.
