An organophotocatalyzed approach for the chemoselective dealkylation of phenols is developed. This method demonstrates exceptional selectivity toward the cleavage of phenolic ethers over equivalent aliphatic ethers and alkyl benzoates, presenting a broad range of functional group sustainability. This strategy also enables selective debenzylation of phenols in the presence of reduction-sensitive functional groups.

Hydrogels with antibacterial activities have the potential for many biomedical applications, such as wound healing, because of their capacity to maintain a moist environment and prevent infections. In this work, an ultrasound-induced supramolecular hydrogel consisting of easily accessible reducing-end-free glucosaminylbarbiturate-based hydrogelators that serve the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), excluding the addition of any external reducing or stabilizing agents, has been developed. The innovative synthetic approach relied on the use of -disubstituted barbituric acid derivatives as a versatile chemical platform that site-selectively reacted with the amino function of glucosamine.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

The endeavor of sustainable chemistry has led to significant advancements in green methodologies aimed at minimizing environmental impact while maximizing efficiency. Herein, a straightforward synthesis of benzimidazoles by reductive coupling of o-dinitroarenes with aldehydes is reported for the first time in aqueous media while using a non-noble metal catalyst. This work demonstrates that the combination of nitrogen and phosphorous ligands in the synthesis of supported heteroatom-incorporated Co nanoparticles is crucial for obtaining the desired benzimidazoles.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used a technique involving sulfonate functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Ir complexes and a special structural framework called a G-sphere to create these nanoclusters through hydrogen reduction.
- * The resulting nanoclusters (1.8 ± 0.4 nm) exhibited a narrow size distribution and were highly effective as catalysts for hydrogenating 4-nitrostyrene, showcasing superior selectivity compared to larger, non-encapsulated Ir clusters.
