Published: December 2016

An organocatalytic, highly facile, efficient, and regioselective ortho-chlorination of anilines is described. A secondary ammonium chloride salt has been employed as the catalyst and the reaction can be conducted at room temperature without protection from air and moisture. In addition, the reaction is readily scalable and the catalyst can be recycled and reused. This catalytic protocol has been applied to the efficient synthesis of a highly potent c-Met kinase inhibitor. Mechanistic studies revealed that unique structural features of the secondary ammonium chloride salt are important for both the catalysis and regioselectivity of the electrophilic ortho-chlorination.

Exploiting supramolecular secondary building units (SSBUs) for developing porous crystalline materials represents an exciting breakthrough that extends the boundaries of reticular chemistry. However, shaping polynuclear clusters sustained by non-covalent interactions for the assembly of hydrogen-bonded frameworks remains a critical challenge. This study presents a novel strategy to stabilize SSBUs by tuning the π-stacking geometry of conjugated building blocks, facilitating the creation of hydrogen-bonded frameworks with tailored architectures for demanding gas separation.

Lanthanide-polyoxometalate-based self-erasing luminescent hydrogels with time-dependent and resilient properties for advanced information encryption.

Key Laboratory of Functional Inorganic Material Chemistry (MOE), School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Heilongjiang University, Harbin 150080, China.

In such an era of information explosion, improving the level of information security is still a challenging task. Self-erasing luminescent hydrogels are becoming ideal candidates for improving the level of information security with simple encryption and decryption methods. Herein, a lanthanide-polyoxometalate-based self-erasing luminescent hydrogel with time-dependent and resilient properties was constructed through a covalent crosslinked network constructed with polyacrylamide and a non-covalent crosslinked network constructed with [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethyl ammonium chloride/NaDyWO, along with doping urease.

Metabolic studies of Ogataea polymorpha using nine different corn steep liquors.

BMC Biotechnol

Aachener Verfahrenstechnik - Biochemical Engineering, RWTH Aachen University, Forckenbeckstr. 51, 52074, Aachen, Germany.

Background: In the fermentation industry, the demand to replace expensive complex media components is increasing for alternative nutrient sources derived from waste or side streams, such as corn steep liquor (CSL). However, the use of CSL is associated with common problems of side products, such as batch-to-batch variations and compositional inconsistencies. In this study, to detect batch-to-batch variations in CSL for Ogataea polymorpha cultivations, a "fingerprinting" system was developed by employing the Respiration Activity Monitoring System designed for shake flasks (RAMOS) and 96-well microtiter plates (µTOM).

Ring-in-Ring Assembly Facilitates the Synthesis of a [12]Cycloparaphenylene ABC-Type [3]Catenane.

Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) represent a significant challenge for the synthesis of mechanically interlocked architectures, because they lack heteroatoms, which precludes traditional active and passive template methods. To circumvent this problem and explore the fundamental and functional properties of CPP rotaxanes and catenanes, researches have resorted to unusual non-covalent and even to labor-intensive covalent template approaches. Herein, we report a ring-in-ring non-covalent template strategy that makes use of the surprisingly strong non-covalent inclusion of crown ethers into suitably sized CPPs.

Synergistic transformation of Cr(VI) in lubricant degradation by bacterial consortium.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol

Engineering Research Centre for Waste Oil Recovery Technology and Equipment, Ministry Education, Chongqing Technology and Business University, Chongqing, 400067, China.

In recent years, it has become widely acknowledged that heavy metals are often present in oil-contaminated sites. This study utilized three specific types of microorganisms with different functions to construct a composite bacterial consortium for treating lubricant-Cr(VI) composite pollutants. The selected strains were Lysinbacillus fusiformis and Bacillus tropicus.
