We present herein the results of microwave promoted N-alkylations of isatin (1)with different alkyl, benzyl and functionalized alkyl halides. Reactions were carried out under different conditions, always employing methodologies compatible with MW assisted chemistry. Generation of isatin anion employing diverse bases and solvents or using the preformed isatin sodium salt was tested. The best results were achieved using K(2)CO(3) or Cs(2)CO(3) and a few drops of N,N-dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. These reactions present noteworthy advantages over those carried out employing conventional heating.

Background: Effective early intervention of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the key for preventing dementia. However, there is currently no drug for MCI. As a multi-targeted neuroprotective agent, butylphthalide has been demonstrated to repair cognition in patients with vascular cognitive impairment, and has the potential to treat MCI due to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

High throughput intracellular delivery of biological macromolecules is crucial for cell engineering, gene expression, therapeutics, diagnostics, and clinical studies; however, most existing techniques are either contact-based or have throughput limitations. Herein, we report a light-activated, contactless, high throughput photoporation method for highly efficient and viable cell transfection of more than a million cells within a minute. We fabricated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoflakes that was mixed with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite thin sheet with an area of 3 cm and a thickness of ∼600 μm.

Despite the growing interest in mirror-image l-oligonucleotides, both as a robust nucleic acid analogue and as an artificial genetic polymer, their broader adoption in biochemical research and medicine remains hindered by challenges associated with the synthesis of long sequences, especially for l-RNA. Herein, we present a novel strategy for assembling long l-RNAs the joining of two or more shorter fragments using cross-chiral ligase ribozymes together with new substrate activation chemistry. We show that 5'-monophosphorylated l-RNA, which is readily prepared by solid-phase synthesis, can be activated by chemical attachment of a 5'-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) or diphosphate (ADP), yielding 5'-adenosyl(di- or tri-)phosphate l-RNA.

Coupling ion exclusion and interaction screening within sub-nanoconfinement channels in novel porous material membranes hold great potential to realize highly efficient ion sieving, particularly for high-performance lithium-ion extraction. Diverse kinds of advanced membranes have been previously reported to realize this goal but with moderate performance and complex operations gained. Herein, these issues are circumvented by preparing the consecutive and intact imine-linked three-dimensional covalent organic framework (i.
