Published: December 2008

The preparation of bicylic lactam 2 is described, employing an acetoacetate-based synthesis of 1,4-ketoacid 3. The lactam 2 was shown to undergo a thermal ene reaction at 280-300 degrees C to afford tricycle 7. Reduction of the ene product followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary fragment provided the unusual lactam system 9 in highly enantioenriched form.

Light-driven biotransformations in recombinant cyanobacteria benefit from the atom-efficient regeneration of reaction equivalents like NADPH from water and light by oxygenic photosynthesis. The self-shading of photosynthetic cells throughout the reaction volume, along with the need for extended light paths, limits adequate light supply and significantly restricts the potential for upscaling. Here, we present a flat panel photobioreactor (1 cm optical path length) as a scalable system to provide efficient illumination at high cell densities.

Nanomedicine, particularly gene delivery, holds immense potential and offers promising therapeutic options. Non-viral systems gained attention due to their binding capacity, stability and scalability. Among these, natural polysaccharides, such as pullulan, are advantageous in terms of sustainability, biocompatibility and potential degradability.

Marine biofouling and corrosion have become the main problems affecting the development of the marine industry. Silicone-based coatings have been widely used for antifouling and anticorrosion due to their low surface energy. However, the poor adhesion and low mechanical stability of these materials limit their application in complex marine environments.

Fabricating visible-light-responsive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high stability and effective catalytic functionality remains a long-term pursuit yet a great challenge. Herein, a strategy of increasing ligand and cluster connectivity is developed to construct highly stable fluorescein MOFs, La-CFL, presenting a new (4,8)-connected topological structure compared to Cd-FL constructed using 6-connected dinuclear clusters and 3-connected tritopic ligands. La(CFL) containers like Chinese "Ritual Wine Vessels (Jue)" resemble linear arrangements interconnected by the [La(COO)] clusters.

Traditional photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) materials require a high curing temperature and exhibit low transparency, limiting their applications in thermally sensitive optical devices. To overcome this challenge, soluble photosensitive polyimide resins were synthesized based on the structural design of a bio-based magnolol monomer. It is noteworthy that the PI photoresist, developed by using the as-prepared polyimides and non-toxic solvents (2-acetoxy-1-methoxypropane, PGEMA) and other additives, demonstrated an impressive low-temperature curing performance (180 °C).
