The novel catalysts xMg-2.3Cu/SBA-15 with copper and magnesium oxide co-supported on mesoporous silica were synthesized by an impregnation method. The newly synthesized catalysts were characterized using a series of techniques such as BET, XRD, H2-TPR, UV-vis, XPS, EDS and TEM. The catalytic performance was evaluated by using selective oxidation of cyclohexane with molecular oxygen as the oxidant in a solvent free system. The incorporation of magnesium improved the dispersion of copper oxide and prevented the deep oxidation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. The selectivity of K/A oil was up to 99.3% with 12% conversion of cyclohexane over the 1.2Mg-2.3Cu/SBA-15 catalyst. To our knowledge, this is the best result for the heterogeneous oxidation of cyclohexane by O2.

A modular approach was developed for the first catalytic asymmetric total syntheses of naturally occurring C30 terpene quinone methides and their non-natural stereoisomers, which feature the presence of an unprecedented spiro[4.4]nonane-containing 6-6-6-5-5-3 hexacyclic skeleton. Resting on a chiral phosphinamide-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of 2,2-disubstituted cyclohexane-1,3-dione, a concise route for the synthesis of enantioenriched 6-6 bicyclic fragment was developed.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. As the global population ages, the prevalence of AD continues to rise, emphasising the urgent need for effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. Carotenoids, a group of naturally occurring pigments with antioxidant properties, have gained attention for their potential neuroprotective effects.

Background: Liquid biopsy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) or blood samples is becoming a significant sector in the management of AD and AD related dementia (ADRD). Whereas different types of molecules, such as small molecules, peptides, and antibodies, have been used as ligands for targeting AD biomarkers/pathologies such as amyloid beta peptides (Aβs), current liquid biopsy approaches mostly use antibodies. However, the activity and affinity of the antibodies can vary depending on the source and preparation as well as the stability in storage.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) in edible oils are crucial for human nutrition. However, their high unsaturation renders edible oils susceptible to oxidation during storage and processing. The addition of lipophilic antioxidants is an effective strategy to inhibit oxidation and safeguard the nutritional integrity of edible oils.
