Isotopic (13)C NMR is a relatively recent technique which allows the determination of intramolecular (13)C isotope composition at natural abundance. It has been used in various scientific fields such as authentication, counterfeiting or plant metabolism. Although its precision has already been evaluated, the determination of its trueness remains still challenging. To deal with that issue, a comparison with another normalized technique must be achieved. In this work, we compare the intramolecular (13)C isotope distribution of ethanol from different origins obtained using both Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometry techniques. The IRMS approach consists of the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid followed by the degradation of the latter for the analysis of each fragments formed. We show here that the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid does not bring any significant error on the determination of the site-specific δ(13)C (δ(13)C(i)) of ethanol using the IRMS approach. The difference between the data obtained for 16 samples from different origins using IRMS and NMR approaches is not statistically significant and remains below 0.3‰. These results are encouraging for the future studies using isotopic NMR, especially in combination with the IRMS approach.

A practical and efficient reaction for C2-selenylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones has been explored. This coupling reaction of two redox structural motifs, such as 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with diaryldiselenide / ebselen has been achieved by using sodium borohydride reducing agent at room temperature. Using this approach, several 2-selenylated-1,4-naphthoquinones were obtained in moderate to good yields and thoroughly characterized by multinuclear (1H, 13C, and 77Se) NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and mass spectrometry.

In this work, a novel fluorescent probe (compound 2) based on the Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism was designed and successfully applied to determine HS in human serum. Fluorophore 1,8-naphthalimide was chosen, while the azide group was the recognition group for HS determination. By introducing p-toluidine moiety on the imide part of the molecule, a donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated system was formed.

Donor-bridge-acceptor complexes (D-B-A) are important model systems for understanding of light-induced processes. Here, we apply two-color two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy to D-B-A complexes with a -Pt(II) acetylide bridge (D-C≡C-Pt-C≡C-A) to uncover the mechanism of vibrational energy redistribution (IVR). Site-selective C isotopic labeling of the bridge is used to decouple the acetylide modes positioned on either side of the Pt-center.

The efficient pentaflurophenol-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler cyclization was carried out which led to the formation of spirobenzazepinoindole. This article examines the methods and modifications of Pictet-Spengler cyclization in the synthesis of intricate organic compounds, emphasizing its significance in drug discovery and development. This reaction generally entails the condensation of an amine with an aldehyde or ketone, succeeded by an intramolecular cyclization step catalyzed by pentafluorophenol, an alternate for metal-mediated catalysts due to its facile characteristics which render it an invaluable asset in organic synthesis and catalysis.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the synthesis and characterization of three new fluorescence probes derived from fluorenone azine, focusing on their structural properties and the methods used for their analysis.
- These probes exhibit unique photophysical behaviors due to hydrogen bonding interactions that allow for processes like excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT).
- The study highlights the probes' potential applications in bioimaging and viscosity detection, specifically demonstrating that probe 3a is effective for measuring intercellular viscosity in a Caenorhabditis elegans model.
