Enhancing the decomposition rate of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the most common oxidizer in solid propellants, is important for improving propellant performance. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as key materials for catalyzing AP decomposition, as they can achieve good dispersion of active sites through in-situ decomposition. Despite having considerable potential, the structural transformation process and catalytic performance of MOFs in AP decomposition are still unclear, which seriously hinders their application in the field of AP decomposition.

Amines are produced through various industrial and biological processes, contributing significantly to atmospheric pollution, particularly in the troposphere. Moreover, amine-related pollution raises global concerns due to its detrimental effects on human health, environmental quality, and the preservation of animal species. Low-molecular-weight volatile amines, categorized as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are present in the atmosphere, and they represent the main cause of air pollution.

The presence of drugs in wastewater effluent is of concern due to their effects on the aquatic fauna and flora and there are growing efforts for their removal from the environment. In this paper, we study the photocatalytic visible-light degradation of naproxen, an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drug, using 5% copper-doped TiO. The photocatalyst was characterized by XRD and BET surface area measurements.

Oxetanes are valuable motifs in medicinal chemistry applications, with demonstrated potential to serve as bioisosteres for an array of functional groups. Through the visible-light-mediated photoredox hydrodecarboxylation of 2-aryl oxetane 2-carboxylic acids this work enables access to the products of a [2+2]-photocycloaddition between alkenes and aryl aldehydes without the challenges associated with a traditional UV-light-mediated Paternò-Büchi reaction. Investigation into the hydrodecarboxylation mechanism reveals substrate-dependent modes of initiation under the conditions reported herein.

Enamides have emerged as robust alternatives for enamines, exhibiting versatile reactivity for further synthetic modifications, including nucleophilic addition, cycloaddition, and asymmetric hydrogenation. While transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkenyl (pseudo)halides with amides has been widely employed to construct this valuable scaffold, it suffers from some limitations, such as the need for transition-metal catalysts and the preparative synthesis of alkenyl (pseudo)halides. In this study, we report a mild and convenient stereoretentive decarboxylative amidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with easily procurable 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones, providing a practical synthetic route to enamides.
