A metal-free regioselective sulfenylation of the α-CH group of ketones has been achieved in the presence of the α-CH or α-CH group using the cross dehydrogenative (CDC) strategy. Aldehydes also exhibit good selectivity forming the corresponding α-sulfenylated products. This efficient sulfenylation of ketones or aldehydes with thiones or heterocyclic thiols utilizes dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as an oxidant in the presence of iodine. This eco-friendly method uses readily available and inexpensive I and DMSO. The application of this methodology has been demonstrated by synthesizing precursors for Julia- Kocienski olefination intermediates.

Background: Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used pesticide, can cause severe intoxication and respiratory failure. Myrtenol (Mrl), an essential oil derived in various plants, exhibits several biological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. This study aims to investigate the protective potential of Mrl against oxidative stress and inflammation caused by PQ exposure.

Tailoring Water-in-DMSO Electrolyte for Ultra-stable Rechargeable Zinc Batteries.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Institute of Energy Material Science, Shanghai 200093, Shanghai, CHINA.

Rechargeable zinc batteries (RZBs) are hindered by two primary challenges: instability of Zn anode and deterioration of the cathode structure in traditional aqueous electrolytes, largely attributable to the decomposition of active H2O. Here, we design and synthesize a non-flammable water-in-dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte to address these issues. X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in situ techniques and computational simulations demonstrate that the activity of H2O in this electrolyte is extremely compressed, which not only suppresses the side reactions and increases the reversibility of Zn anode, but also diminishes the cathode dissolution and proton intercalation.

Preservation and long-term storage of readily available cell-laden tissue-engineered products are major challenges in expanding their applications in healthcare. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the development of off-the-shelf tissue-engineered products using the cryobioprinting approach. Here, bioinks are incorporated with cryoprotective agents (CPAs) to allow the fabrication of cryopreservable tissue constructs.
