A simple set of protocols for the controlled elaboration of anilines is reported allowing access to a diverse array of aminophenols, aminoarylsulfonates, alkylated anilines, and aminoanilines in 29-95% yield in a single laboratory operation from easily isolable, bench-stable N,N-dialkylaniline N-oxides. The introduction of new C-O, C-C, and C-N bonds on the aromatic ring is made possible by a temporary increase in oxidation level and excision of a weak N-O bond.

Significant progress has been made in the development of potential therapies for diseases associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the availability of effective clinical treatments remains limited. Herein, we introduce a novel silk-based bioactive material, TPSF, developed by sequentially conjugating Tempol and phenylboronic acid pinacol ester to silk fibroin.

Visible Light-Induced Divergent Deoxygenation/Hydroxymethylation of Pyridine -Oxides.

J Org Chem

Department of Chemistry, Fudan University, 2005 Songhu Road, Shanghai 200438, PR China.

This study explores the deoxygenation of pyridine -oxides and presents a one-step photoredox method for the direct synthesis of 2-hydroxymethylated pyridines from pyridine -oxides. Mechanism studies elucidate the role of the catalyst and provide evidence of the possible electron transfer process and the formation of key radicals. A range of pyridine derivatives, particularly 2-hydroxymethyl-substituted pyridines, which may be difficult to obtain, can be synthesized in a single step.

In situ growth of defective ZIF-8 on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils for rapid response release of curcumin in food preservation.

Uncontrolled release of active agents in active packaging reduces antimicrobial efficacy, hindering the effective protection of perishable products from microbial infection. Herein, a novel defective engineering was proposed to design defective and hollow ZIF-8 structures grown on TEMPO oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNFs) and use them as fast-reacting nanocarriers for loading and controlled release curcumin (Cur) in sodium alginate (SA) active packaging systems (CZT-Cur-SA). By employing stable chelation between tannic acid (TA) and ZIF-8 zinc ions, the connections between zinc ions and imidazole ligands were severed to form a loose and hollow structure, which facilitates the rapid reaction and release of active ingredients triggered by pH changes in the microenvironment.

Electronic address:

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major challenge in cancer research. Collateral sensitizers, compounds that exploit the enhanced defense mechanisms of MDR cells as weaknesses, are a proposed strategy to overcome MDR. Our previous work reported the synthesis of two novel Isoquinolinequinone (IQQ) N-oxides that induce collateral sensitivity in MDR ABCB1-overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer cells.

The title compound, CHBrNO, crystallizes with two similar mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The extended structure features dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The HNCNO moiety of the title compound shows delocalization over the N-C-N part, as evidenced by the similar C-N bond distances.
