A synthesis of benzo[f]isoindole-4,9-diones 1 is presented starting from the reaction of 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene 15 with primary amines affording 2,3-bis(aminomethyl)-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalenes 14, which could be converted by CAN-mediated oxidation in one step to benzo[f]isoindole-4,9-diones 1. An alternative synthesis of benzo[f]isoindole-4,9-diones 1 starts from 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone 9 via 2,3-dihydrobenzo[f]isoindoles 10 which spontaneously oxidize.

-Terphenyl compounds are known to possess a diverse range of biological activities, making the synthesis of novel -terphenyl derivatives a significant research objective. In this study, we report the first synthesis of nocarterphenyl A (), characterized by a thiazole-fused -terphenyl framework. Furthermore, we synthesized 18 additional analogs, including the naturally occurring compound 5-methoxy-4,7-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)benzo[]thiazol-6-ol (), employing a similar synthetic approach.

The introduction of 4,5-dihydroazuleno[2,1,8-ija]azulene as a central core between two 1,4-dithiafulvene (DTF) units provides a novel class of extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) electron donors. Herein we present the synthesis of such compounds with the azulenoazulene further expanded by annulation to benzene, naphthalene, or thiophene rings. Moreover, unsymmetrical donor-acceptor chromophores with one DTF and one carbonyl at the central core are presented.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the rapid proton transfer in 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)naphthalene-1-ol derivatives when exposed to light, focusing on the resulting tautomer emission and large Stokes shift.
- Using advanced methods like DFT and TD-DFT, researchers examine how different solvent polarities influence the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process.
- Findings include detailed analyses of UV-Visible and fluorescence spectra, the effects of hydrogen bonding in various solvents, and supplementary molecular dynamics from X-ray diffraction studies.

Article Synopsis
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), like benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), arise from incomplete combustion and are found in sources like tobacco smoke and charbroiled food, posing cancer risks.
- Researchers genetically modified the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to include human CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and epoxide hydrolase to study the effects of BaP exposure, observing changes in behavior and reproductive performance, such as increased pharyngeal pumping and decreased brood size.
- The findings revealed that the humanized worms experienced more severe reproductive toxicity and genetic mutations when exposed to BaP, highlighting the potential of these modified organisms for improving research practices while working towards the

Fused heterocyclic scaffolds, such as benzimidazoles or larger ring systems containing a benzimidazole fragment, are frequently encountered in pharmaceutical compounds and other biologically active molecules. While there are many examples of N9- and/or C3-substituted 9-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-][1,2,4]triazoles, current examples of the regioselective preparation of N1-substituted 1-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-][1,2,4]triazoles are limited to N1-aryl substituted compounds, which also contain a C3-substituent. Here, we report an iodine-promoted C-H bond amination reaction that allows the selective preparation of 1-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-][1,2,4]triazoles with a variety of aryl and alkyl N1-substituents.
