A highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of diols via asymmetric acetalization has been achieved using a chiral confined imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst. The reaction is highly efficient for the resolution of tertiary alcohols, giving selectivity factors of up to >300. Remarkably, even in cases where the selectivity factors are only moderate, highly enantioenriched diols are obtained via a stereodivergent resolution to diastereomeric acetals.

The production of enantiomerically pure compounds remains a vital and valuable objective in modern organic chemistry due to their broad applications in fields such as biosensing, optics, electronics, photonics, catalysis, nanotechnology, and drug or DNA delivery. Optically pure α-hydroxy ketones, in particular, are key structural components in many drugs and natural products with significant biological activity. Among these, benzoin type α-hydroxy ketones, which possess two adjacent functional groups, a carbonyl and a hydroxy group, are especially important.

3-Methylenebutane-1,2,4-triol and 3-methyltetrahydrofuran-2,4-diols, previously designated "C-alkene triols", were recently confirmed as in-particle isomerization products of isoprene-derived β-IEPOX isomers that are formed upon acid-driven uptake and partition back into the gas phase. In chamber experiments, we have systematically explored their gas phase oxidation by hydroxyl radical (OH) as a potential source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). OH-initiated oxidation of both compounds in the presence of ammonium bisulfate aerosol resulted in substantial aerosol volume growth.

Article Synopsis
- * A novel diffusion gradient transimination protocol was developed to grow COF-300 single crystals, allowing scientists to conduct high-resolution X-ray diffraction to observe structural changes and intermediate phases.
- * The findings highlight that the structural transformations in COFs are precise and follow defined pathways, similar to protein folding, which can lead to the development of advanced materials for studying liquid structures.

Article Synopsis
- Enzyme immobilisation is crucial for creating stable biocatalysts that can be reused, but the behavior of enzymes on solid supports, especially under operational conditions, is not fully understood.
- X-ray fluorescence imaging was used to study structural changes in a biocatalyst made from two unmodified metalloenzymes (laccase and dehydrogenase) when exposed to high temperatures or other operational conditions.
- Findings reveal that while both protein and metal components rearrange during usage, they move as a unit, causing minor structural changes but leading to the biocatalyst's eventual exhaustion, highlighting the need for better understanding using advanced imaging techniques for improved bioprocesses.

Diabetes is a major health concern that the next-generation of on-demand insulin releasing implants may overcome via personalized therapy. Therein, 3D-printed phenylboronic acid-containing implants with on-demand glucose-triggered drug release abilities are produced using high resolution stereolithography technology. To that end, the methacrylation of phenylboronic acid is targeted following a two-step reaction.
