A facile iterative synthesis of 2,5-terpyrimidinylenes that are structurally analogous to alpha-helix mimics is presented. Condensation of amidines with readily prepared alpha,beta-unsaturated alpha-cyanoketones gives 5-cyano-substituted pyrimidines. Iterative transformation of the 5-cyano group into an amidine allows synthesis of 2,5-terpyrimidinylenes with variable groups at the 4-, 4'-, and 4''-positions. These compounds are designed to mimic the i, i + 4, and i + 7 sites of an alpha-helix.

ConspectusCovalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are a novel class of nitrogen-rich conjugated porous organic materials constructed by robust and functional triazine linkages, which possess unique structures and excellent physicochemical properties. They have demonstrated broad application prospects in gas/molecular adsorption and separation, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, etc. In particular, crystalline CTFs with well-defined periodic molecular network structures and regular pore channels can maximize the utilization of the features of CTFs and promote a deep understanding of the structure-property relationship.

Cardiovascular diseases such as stroke are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The underlying mechanisms connecting CKD and cardiovascular disease are yet to be fully elucidated, but inflammation is proposed to play an important role based on genetic association studies, studies of inflammatory biomarkers, and clinical trials of anti-inflammatory drug targets. There are multiple sources of both endogenous and exogenous inflammation in CKD, including increased production and decreased clearance of proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, metabolic acidosis, chronic and recurrent infections, dialysis access, changes in adipose tissue metabolism, and disruptions in intestinal microbiota.

Low-energy photoredox catalysis has gained significant attention in developing organic transformations due to its ability to achieve high penetration depth and minimum health risks. Herein, we disclose a red-light ( = 640 nm)-mediated C-3 formylation of indoles utilizing a helical carbenium ion as a photocatalyst and 2,2-dimethoxy-,-dimethylethanamine as a formylating source. These protocols exhibit a broad substrate scope under mild conditions with efficient scalability for the synthesis of C-3 formylated indoles.

-β, β-β' trifused porphyrins incorporating two distinct active methylene groups (MN = malononitrile and IND = 1,3-indanedione) and their corresponding metal complexes with Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been synthesized with good to excellent yields and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and spectrometric methods. Single crystal X-ray analysis of the Zn(II) complex ZnTFPMB(MN) (where TFP = trifused porphyrin and MB = mono benzo) revealed a nonplanar 'armchair' type conformation with a twist angle of 24.10°.

Conversion of nitrogen (N) to ammonia (NH) is a significant process that occurs in environment and in the field of chemistry, but the traditional NH synthesis method requires high energy and pollutes the environment. In this work, the charge, orbital and spin order of the single-atom Fe loaded on heteroatom (X) doped-MoCS (X = B, N, O, F, P and Se) and its synergistic effect on electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) were investigated using well-defined density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Results revealed that the X-element modified the charge loss capability of Fe atoms and thereby introduced a net spin through heteroatom doping, resulting in the magnetic moment modulation of Fe.
