An analytical method combining off-line flow-through extraction of a soil micro-sample (mass around 100 mg, packed into a short HPLC glass column) and direct on-column large-volume injection (LVI up to 1.00 mL) of a methanol-water soil extract onto a conventional C18 RP HPLC column enabled fast (within 3.5 minutes) trace micro-analysis of the relatively new chiral pesticides epoxiconazole (E) and novaluron (N), respectively. Linear calibration curves were evaluated from UV detection (230 nm) data in the range from 0.1 to 5 mg/kg in three most abundant Slovak agricultural soils. LOD (confidence band) at the levels 0.08-0.11 mg/kg and LOQ 0.4-0.6 mg/kg and LOD (S/N = 3) at the levels 0.007-0.018 mg/kg and LOQ (S/N = 10) 0.024-0.060 mg/kg, respectively, of dry soil were achieved. Recovery of pesticides in the overall LVI method including flow-through 130-200 mg soil micro-sample extraction was: for epoxiconazole from 74 to 85% and from 56% to 90% for novaluron with reproducibility within +/- 6% RSD. This fast (30 min) and simple method consists of just three steps which are short column filling with a solid micro-sample; flow-through liquid extraction and direct large-volume injection RP HPLC DAD analysis. The method is prepared for automation and further analysis of enantiomers of both investigated pesticides by achiral-chiral column switching techniques.

The construction of helical structures through self-assembly and the exploration of their formation mechanisms not only amplify chiroptical properties but also provide profound insights into the structures and functions of natural helices. In this study, we developed a chiral Au(I) system based on BINAP and alkynyl ligands. The modification of the length or number of alkyl chains at the terminal positions of the alkynyl ligands significantly impacted the self-assembly behavior of the complexes.

Chiral pesticides often undergo enantioselective degradation during food fermentation. In this study, the enantioselective fates of seven chiral pesticides during processing of wine and rice wine were investigated. The results revealed that R-metalaxyl, R-mefentrifluconazole and S-hexaconazole were preferentially degraded during wine processing with EF values of 0.

This work describes a chiral bifunctional squaramide/DBU sequential catalytic strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of nonfused chiral eight-membered O-heterocycles through the asymmetric addition of ynones to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters followed by the regio- and diastereoselective cyclization of the adduct intermediates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that an isomerization process should be involved in the ring formation step, and the origin of the high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has also been elucidated by the DFT calculations.

Background: Indoxacarb, a type of chiral pesticide, is used to control Lepidoptera insects. Most studies had focused on the environmental behavior and selective toxicity of indoxacarb enantiomers, and the mechanism behind its selective biological activity against target organisms is not well understood.
Results: Spodoptera frugiperda was selected as the target insect.

Article Synopsis
- Widespread pesticide use is linked to declining bee populations, and this study focuses on the toxicity of different enantiomers of the chiral pesticide ethiprole on honeybees and their gut microbiota.
- Exposure to S-ethiprole significantly decreased honeybee survival compared to R-ethiprole, leading to negative effects on sucrose consumption, body weight, and gut health.
- The study found that S-ethiprole not only reduced the diversity and size of gut microbial communities but also affected immune response genes, highlighting the need to understand how different pesticide forms impact bee health.
