A series of magnesium bis(amido-oxazolinate) complexes have been described. Reactions of six amido-oxazolinate ligand precursors, HNC(2)(Me)Oxa, HNC(2)(OMe)Oxa, HNC(2)(StBu)Oxa, HNPhOxa, HNPh(OMe)Oxa or HNPh(SMe)Oxa, with half molar equivalent of Mg(n)Bu(2) in hexane yield the magnesium bis(amido-oxazolinate) complexes, (NC(2)(E)Oxa)(2)Mg [C(2)(E) = propyl, (NC(2)(Me)Oxa)(2)Mg (1); C(2)(E) = 2-methoxyethyl, (NC(2)(OMe)Oxa)(2)Mg (2); C(2)(E) = 2-tert-butylthioethyl, (NC(2)(StBu)Oxa)(2)Mg (3)], or magnesium bis(anilido-oxazolinate) complexes, (NArOxa)(2)Mg [Ar = phenyl, (NPhOxa)(2)Mg (4); Ar = 2-methoxyphenyl, (NPh(OMe)Oxa)(2)Mg (5); Ar = 2-methylthiophenyl, (NPh(SMe)Oxa)(2)Mg (6)], respectively. The molecular structures are reported for compounds 1, 2, 5 and 6. Their catalytic activities toward the ring opening polymerisation of L-lactide in the presence of benzyl alcohol are also under investigation.

We present the synthesis, structural analysis, and remarkable reactivity of the first carbon nanohoop that fully incorporates ferrocene in the macrocyclic backbone. The high strain imposed on the ferrocene by the curved nanohoop structure enables unprecedented photochemical reactivity of this otherwise photochemically inert metallocene complex. Visible light activation triggers a ring-opening of the nanohoop structure, fully dissociating the Fe-cyclopentadienyl bonds in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline.

ConspectusThe Mannich reaction, involving the nucleophilic addition of an enol(ate) intermediate to an imine or iminium ion, is one of the most widely used synthetic methods for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the homo-Mannich reaction, which utilizes a homoenolate intermediate as the nucleophilic partner and provides straightforward access to the valuable γ-amino carbonyl compounds, remains underexplored. This can be largely attributed to the difficulties in generation and manipulation of the homoenolate species, despite various homoenolate equivalents that have been developed.

The synthesis of degradable polymer prodrug nanoparticles is still a challenge to be met, which would make it possible to remedy both the shortcomings of traditional formulation of preformed polymers (, low nanoparticle concentrations) and those of the physical encapsulation of drugs (, burst release and poor drug loadings). Herein, through the combination of radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) and polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) under appropriate experimental conditions, we report the successful preparation of high-solid content, degradable polymer prodrug nanoparticles, exhibiting multiple drug moieties covalently linked to a degradable vinyl copolymer backbone. Such a rROPISA process relied on the chain extension of a biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol)-based solvophilic block with a mixture of lauryl methacrylate (LMA), cyclic ketene acetal (CKA) and drug-bearing methacrylic esters by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization at 20 wt% solid content.

The SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease PLpro has multiple roles in the viral replication cycle, related to both its polypeptide cleavage function and its ability to antagonize the host immune response. Targeting the PLpro function is recognized as a promising mechanism to modulate viral replication, while supporting host immune responses. However, the development of PLpro-specific inhibitors remains challenging.
