A C6F5-substituted hexapyrrane (1) was synthesized in one step. Oxidative cyclization of 1 with DDQ afforded a phlorin-dipyrrin conjugate (2), and subsequent FeCl3-assisted oxidative cleavage of 2 afforded a terminally di-α-methoxy substituted hexapyrrin (3). On the other hand, oxidation of 1 with FeCl3 afforded 3, a hexapyrrinone Fe(3+) complex (4), and a hexaphyrin (1,1,1,1,1,0) (5). These results indicate that the oxidation of hexapyrranes may be developed as an effective approach for the syntheses of novel linear and macrocyclic hexapyrroles.

Constructing oxygen vacancies in Cu-doped MnO by a quenching strategy for boosting the catalytic oxidation of toluene.

J Hazard Mater

Here, a quenching strategy was developed to create oxygen vacancies in Cu doped α-MnO. The evolutions of oxygen vacancies were directly followed by means of XRD refinement, EPR and XPS. In combination with DFT calculations and detailed characterizations, evidence is captured that oxygen vacancies not only act as direct sites for the adsorption and activation of gaseous oxygen and toluene, but also accelerate the consumption and replenishment cycle of lattice oxygen species by weakening the strength of metal-oxygen bonds.

A first -type tricyclic 8-8-8 (three fused-8-membered ring) laddersiloxane functionalized with four azido groups was successfully synthesized through efficient and highly selective hydrosilylation and nucleophilic substitution, achieving an excellent overall yield. The starting material, a tetravinyl-substituted 8-8-8 laddersiloxane, was prepared via a straightforward and scalable method. The obtained azido-functionalized ladder compound, fully characterized, constitutes a versatile building block for hybrid materials.

γ- and δ-lactones were formed by bromine oxidation of commercially available D-lyxose, as confirmed by IR analysis. The former was isolated, and its structure was confirmed by NMR spectra and X-ray analysis. In this structure, the presence of both intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds was found.

Daunomycin is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for the treatment of leukemia, but its toxicity toward healthy dividing cells limits its clinical use and its production by fermentation. Herein, we describe the development of a specialized cultivation medium for daunomycin production, including a shift to oil rather than sugar as the primary carbon source. This achieved an almost threefold increase in daunomycin yields, reaching 5.

Novel tetracycline-degrading enzymes from the gut microbiota of black soldier fly: Discovery, performance, degradation pathways, mechanisms, and application potential.

The antibiotic tetracycline (TC) is an emerging pollutant frequently detected in various environments. Although enzymatic remediation is a promising strategy for mitigating TC contamination, the availability of effective TC-degrading enzymes remains limited, and their mechanisms and applications are not fully understood. This study developed a comprehensive TC-degrading enzyme library from the gut microbiome of the highly TC-resistant saprophagous insect, black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), using an integrated metagenomic and comparative metatranscriptomic approach, identifying 105 potential novel TC-degradation genes.
