Visible-light photoredox-catalyzed fragmentation of methyl N-phthalimidoyl oxalate allows the direct construction of a 1,4-dicarbonyl structural motif by a conjugate addition of the methoxycarbonyl radical to reactive Michael acceptors. The regioselectivity of the addition of this alkoxyacyl radical species to electron-deficient olefins is heavily influenced by the electronic nature of the acceptor, behavior similar to that exhibited by nucleophilic alkyl radicals.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is an excellent choice for detecting free radicals in biological samples. Biologically relevant radicals are extremely short-lived and cannot be detected directly, emphasizing the need for an appropriate compound to generate stable adducts that can be measured by EPR. Spin trapping with nitrone compounds like 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) is a method commonly employed for detecting free radicals.

One new compound 3f-[(7',8')-4,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2,7'-cycloligna-7-en-9-methoxycarbonyl, 9'-carbonyl--] -- D-fructofuranosyl- (→)-- D-glucopyranoside) (Moltkiopsin A) was isolated and identified from the extract of aerial parts of the wild Egyptian plant (Frossk.), family Boraginaceae, for the first time, along with two aryldihydronaphthalene lignans 3f→9':6f→9-[(7',8')-4,4'- dihydroxy-3,3',5-trimethoxy-2,7'-cycloligna-7-en-9,9'-dicarbonyl]-6g-acetyl--D-gluco pyranosyl-(→) --D-fructofuranoside (Trigonotin A) which was reported for the first time from this plant species and a known compound 3f→9':6f→9-[(7',8')-4,4'- dihydroxy-3,3',5-trimethoxy-2,7'-cycloligna-7-en-9,9'-dicarbonyl]--D-gluco pyranosyl - (→)- -D- fructofuranoside (Trigonotin C) . These compounds were separated and purified using different chromatographic techniques and their structures were elucidated by extensive 1D (H and C NMR), and 2D NMR (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC), besides ESI-MS spectral methods.

A tetranuclear copper(I) complex, [Cu{μ-(PhP)NH}(μ-S)](PF) (), was synthesized. It was found to display intense and long-lived phosphorescence in the solid and solution states. The lowest-energy excited state was assigned as ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) [S → Cu] mixed with some metal-centered (ds/dp) character.

In recent years, methyl formate has received considerable attention as an ideal and green C1 building block to synthesize carboxylic esters. However, examples of a one-step route to esters with one-carbon elongation using methyl formate as a source of methoxycarbonyl radical are still rare. Herein, we present peroxide-induced radical carbonylation of -(2-methylallyl)benzamides with methyl formate as the precursor of methoxycarbonyl radical and RuCl as catalyst, affording a series of biologically valuable 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)methyl]-3,4-dihydroisoquinolinones with good tolerance and insensitivity to moisture in one pot under simple and mild conditions.

Synthetic nitrone spin-traps are being explored as therapeutic agents for the treatment of a wide range of oxidative stress-related pathologies, including but not limited to stroke, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, increasing efforts are currently being made to the design and synthesis of new nitrone-based compounds with enhanced efficacy. The most researched nitrones are surely the ones related to α-phenyl-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) derivatives, which have shown to possess potent biological activity in many experimental animal models.
