C-3 alkylation of coumarins has been accomplished using cycloalkanes or alkylbenzenes in the presence of di-tert-butylperoxide (DTBP) and Fe(III) catalyst. Under metal free conditions and just by switching the oxidant from DTBP to TBHP, an exclusive C-4 cycloalkylation-C-3 peroxidation reaction takes place. During C-3 alkylation, the C-C bond formation occurs at the expense of an existing C-C bond, while the C-4 alkylation is associated with the formation of new C-C and C-O bonds.

Radical-radical reaction channels are important in the pyrolysis and oxidation chemistry of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In particular, unimolecular dissociation reactions within unbranched -perfluoroalkyl chains, and their corresponding reverse barrierless association reactions, are expected to be significant contributors to the gas-phase thermal decomposition of families of species such as perfluorinated carboxylic acids and perfluorinated sulfonic acids. Unfortunately, experimental data for these reactions are scarce and uncertain.

Article Synopsis
  • New crosslinked polyesters, termed "Nuplons," are synthesized using multi-hydroxylic alcohols and multi-carboxylic acids through direct polyesterification, creating a material that is both durable and environmentally degradable.
  • The reaction occurs at moderate temperatures (100-200 °C) without needing additional catalysts or vacuum, producing a crosslinked matrix with varying mechanical properties based on crosslinking extent.
  • These polyesters can break down in water within 12 hours at 95 °C, 3 days at 70 °C, and about 3 months at 30 °C, making them a potential alternative to non-degradable plastics in various applications.

Electronic address:

In this study, ACP-1, a water-soluble polysaccharide was isolated from the roots of Alocasia cucullata (AC) using freeze-thaw treatment (FTT). Structural characterization revealed ACP-1 (2.10×10 Da) to be a homogeneous heteropolysaccharide primarily consisting of glucose, galactose, and arabinose, and a trace of fucose, rhamnose, and glucuronic acid.

With Ce@g-CN as a heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalyst, BuNCl as both a redox catalyst and a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst, the first example of semiheterogeneous photocatalytic cross-dehydrogenative coupling of -heteroarenes and alkanes/ethers with H evolution was developed. Both a diverse array of high-value alkylated -heteroarenes and clean H can be efficiently coproduced under sacrificial reagent- and chemical oxidant/reductant-free conditions. Combining both the reversible Ce/Ce redox pair and the reversible Cl̅/Cl ̇ redox pair can considerably improve the photocatalytic efficiency.

Amyloid-Like Protein-Modified Carbon Nitride as a Bioinspired Material for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO Reduction.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Modification of g-CN with metal-free biomaterials through an environmentally friendly, low-energy, facile, and rapid single-step method is desired for the preparation of photocatalysts with efficient activity and high selectivity of CO reduction but remains a great challenge. Herein, we develop a phase-transitioned protein modification strategy for photocatalysts through superfast amyloid-like protein assembly on surfaces using a one-step sequential coating method. Metal-free carbon nitride/protein heterojunction composite photocatalysts (the phase-transitioned lysozyme (PTL), phase-transitioned bovine serum albumin (PTB), and phase-transitioned ovalbumin (PTO)-coated carbon nitride@SiO (CN@SiO) and bioinspired carbon nitride hollow nanospheres (CN-HS) obtained by etching of CN@SiO) are prepared using lysozyme, bovine serum albumin, and ovalbumin.
