The application of stereochemically defined acyclic fully substituted enolates of ketones to the enantioselective synthesis of quaternary carbon stereocenters would be highly valuable. Herein, we describe an approach leading to the formation of several new stereogenic centers through a combined metalation-addition of a carbonyl-carbamoyl transfer to reveal in situ stereodefined α,α-disubstituted enolates of ketone as a single stereoisomer. This approach could produce a series of aldol and Mannich products from enol carbamate with excellent diastereomeric ratios.

Ni(II)-hydrazineylpyridine (Ni(II)-PyH)-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of α-benzyl substituted β-hydroxy ketones from α,β-unsaturated ketones and alcohols is reported a Fenton free-radical reaction. This protocol enables facile access to desired products in good to excellent yields in 12 h using toluene solvent at room temperature to 100 °C. The structural analysis of the products was confirmed by H, C-NMR, GC-MS, and HRMS data.

Background: Older vervet monkeys are an excellent model for studying age-associated Aβ deposition; however, they have high proportions of low-affinity Aβ sites compared to human brains. Commonly used Aβ PET radiotracers are most useful in detecting high affinity Aβ fibrils. Measuring real-time levels of low affinity Aβ fibrils through PET provides critical information of early AD progression.

However, there is also a pressing need to detect and track subtle cognitive change at the preclinical stage of AD for population screening purposes and to monitor disease progression at scale. A potential solution is remote cognitive assessment, yet it is still not extensively employed.

The demand for meat alternatives based on ingredients sourced from nonanimal materials with equivalent quality of muscle tissue is increasing. As more consumers switch to meat alternatives, a growing body of research has investigated the tenderness and related texture attributes in plant-based meats to increase consumer acceptance. A deeper understanding of tenderness including the differences and similarities between meat and meat alternatives is crucial to developing products that meet consumer expectations, as it directly influences consumer acceptance.

Background: Older vervet monkeys are an excellent model for studying age-associated Aß deposition; however, they have high proportions of low-affinity Aß sites compared to human brains. Commonly used Aß PET radiotracers are most useful in detecting high affinity Aß fibrils. Measuring real-time levels of low affinity Aß fibrils through PET provides critical information of early AD progression.
