Published: February 2010

An opening of vinyl oxiranes has been accomplished with Zn and Al enolates resulting from asymmetric conjugate addition reactions on cyclic enones. This novel tandem procedure affords the adducts in moderate to good yields, enantioselectivities up to 98%, and moderate to good cis/trans selectivities. This provides potentially useful synthetic substrates to prepare complex bicyclic compounds.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for symmetrical supercapacitors are proposed herein with activated carbon as electrodes and optimized solid polymer electrolyte membranes, which serve as the separators and electrolytes. We propose the design of a low-cost solid polymer electrolyte consisting of guanidinium nitrate (GuN) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Using the solution casting approach, blended polymer electrolytes with varying GuN weight percentage ratios of PVP and PEO are prepared.

In this work, we developed a phosphine-catalyzed cascade lactonization/[2 + 1] annulation reaction between vinyl oxiranes and sulfonium compounds for the highly diastereoselective construction of spiro-2(3)-furanone skeletons. The cascade cycloaddition proceeds via the 2(5)-furanone phosphonium intermediate, introducing an oxygen-containing active intermediate for phosphine catalysis. These findings highlight the significant potential of harnessing vinyl oxiranes as versatile synthons for constructing spirocyclic compounds through simultaneous multicyclic skeleton formation.

Article Synopsis
  • To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is essential, and direct air capture (DAC) using amine-based compounds is being researched for effectiveness.
  • Researchers developed thermosetting DAC nanofibers that show strong performance with low-temperature desorption and heat resistance by polymerizing amines with epoxy, using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for easier fabrication.
  • The resulting nanofiber webs demonstrated high CO adsorption capacity and efficient desorption, allowing for sustainable and low-energy recovery of CO while also maintaining stability over prolonged use.

Various 4-vinyl-1,2-oxaphospholane 2-oxides are prepared in good to excellent yields from vinyloxiranes and in situ-generated phosphenes from phosphoryl diazomethanes via the phosphene-induced ring expansion of oxiranes. The reaction is a novel and expeditious strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-oxaphospholane 2-oxide derivatives, featuring ring expansion of readily available starting materials, high atom economy, no catalyst, a fast reaction rate, broad functional group tolerance, high yields, and separable diastereomers.

Pressure-assisted thermal sterilization (PATS) utilizes flexible packaging with low oxygen and water vapor transmission rates (OTRs, WVTRs). In this study, pouches made from metal oxide (MO)-coated (A-D) and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH)-containing (E, F) multilayer films were filled with water and mashed potatoes (MP), preheated at 98 ± 0.5 °C for 10 min, and processed using a pilot-scale high-pressure processing machine (HPP) at 600 ± 5 MPa for 300 s.
