To gain access to 3-propoxy-β-carboline hydrochloride (3-PBC·HCl) (1·HCl) and β-carboline-3-carboxylate-tert-butyl ester (βCCt) (2), potential clinical agents active against alcohol self-administration, a two-step route was developed. This process involves a palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig coupling and an intramolecular Heck reaction. This two-step route provides rapid access to multigram quantities of 3-PBC (1) and βCCt (2), as well as analogues for studies of alcohol self-administration. The overall yield of 3-PBC (1) was improved from 8% to 50% by this route.

Lithium (Li) metal anodes (LMAs), which show a great potential in constructing high-specific-energy-density Li metal batteries (LMBs), have abstracted wide research interest. However, the generation of Li dendrites and the repeated change of volume upon Li plating/stripping severely block the practical commercialization of LMBs. Herein, the functional carbon fibers (CFs) decorated with ZnO embedded carbon cage (ZnO@C-d-CFs) were fabricated successfully by a two-step route including the in-situ growth of Zn-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and subsequent carbonization process, which enriched the lithiophilic sites of CFs host and improved Li+ kinetics of Li+ plating/stripping.

Regioselective Copolymerization of Glucose-Derived Allopyranoside Epoxide with Cyclic Anhydrides: Developing Precise Sugar-Functionalized Polyesters with Unique Altrose Linkages.

J Am Chem Soc

December 2024

Polymer Synthesis Laboratory, Laboratory, Chemistry Program, KAUST Catalysis Center, Physical Sciences and Engineering Division, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal 23955, Saudi Arabia.

Uniform sugar-functionalized polyesters combine the benefits of sugar's structural diversity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability with precise postfunctionalization capabilities, making them a highly valuable class of materials with extensive application potential. However, the irregular placement of hydroxyl groups has limited the synthesis of these polyesters. Here, we present the first platform for uniform sugar-functionalized polyesters via regioselective ring-opening copolymerizations (ROCOPs) of allopyranoside anhydrosugar epoxide (, derived from d-glucose) with cyclic anhydrides, followed by complete selective deprotection.

Linalyl anthranilate (LNA) has been identified in a number of plant extracts and essential oils by various authors using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). However, the reported retention behavior of LNA in these studies is inconsistent with the retention data provided in the NIST database. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether the reports of LNA were the result of misidentifications in GC-MS analyses or if the linear NIST retention index was inaccurate.

Glutathione-functionalized covalent organic frameworks@silica as a hydrophilic-hydrophobic balanced mixed-mode stationary phase for highly efficient separation of compounds with a wide range of polarity.

Anal Chim Acta

Background: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a highly promising stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), but the separation of polar compounds is limited by their low hydrophilicity. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel COFs-based stationary phases with balanced hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity for the efficient separation of different polar compounds.

Results: In this paper, glutathione (GSH)-functionalized COFs@silica microspheres (GSH-COFs@SiO) were synthesized via a two-step, post-synthesis modification strategy.
