Published: November 2016

The easily available vinyl sulfone 3 showed great potential for new applications in several fields such as organic synthesis and bioconjugate formation. This was demonstrated by performing a systematic assessment of its reactivity in Michael, radical, and cycloaddition reactions. Heteroaryl vinyl sulfone 3 presented excellent output in terms of reactivity and selectivity, proving superior to phenyl vinyl sulfone 1 and with clear advantages over bis-sulfone 2. This behavior might be due to the conformational and orbital control exerted by the tetrazole unit according to DFT calculations. Moreover, some alternative transformations to the Julia-Kocienski olefination on the obtained products are also described.

Photocatalytic oxidative hydroacylation with alcohols.

Org Biomol Chem

January 2025

Medicinal & Process Chemistry Division, CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow-226031, India.

Herein, we report a photocatalytic method for oxidative hydroacylation with alcohols. Under photoirradiation and a catalytic amount of TBADT, different electrophiles (azodicarboxylates, -phenylmaleimide, benzylidenemalononitrile and phenyl vinyl sulfone) underwent hydroacylation with alcohols in good yields. The method was also applied to achieve a convenient synthesis of the anti-depressant drug moclobemide.

Article Synopsis
  • The commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is hindered by their fragility and sensitivity to moisture.
  • A new asynchronous cross-linking strategy using divinyl sulfone (DVS) improves perovskite crystallization and creates a durable network through post-treatment with glycerinum.
  • This method boosts the efficiency of PSCs to over 25%, enhances their water resistance, reduces stress, and improves durability, marking a significant advancement in their performance and longevity.

New World alphaviruses, including Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), and western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV), are mosquito-transmitted viruses that cause disease in humans. These viruses are endemic to the western hemisphere, and disease in humans may lead to encephalitis and long-term neurological sequelae. There are currently no FDA-approved vaccines or antiviral therapeutics available for the prevention or treatment of diseases caused by these viruses.

Sodium salt of aryl sulfinic acid reacts with enynone in a different manner, yielding α-furyl sulfone and stereodefined vinyl sulfone in toluene and EtOH respectively in the presence of ZnCl. The salient features of this protocol include chemoselectivity, broad substrate scope, high efficiency, high yield, and easy purification. The synthetic utilities of the products are demonstrated by cycloaddition and cis-trans photoisomerization reactions.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a painful inflammatory condition that limits mouth opening. Cell-derived exosomes, which have anti-inflammatory effects, are emerging as a treatment for TMJOA. Injection of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which secrete exosomes, can moderate tissue damage in a rat model of TMJOA.
