An efficient synthesis of a series of γ-ketoallylphosphonates through a direct conversion of both primary and secondary Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) alcohols by trialkyl phosphites with or without DMAP, used as additive, and under solvent-free conditions, is described herein for the first time. Subsequently, a highly regioselective Luche reduction of the primary phosphonate (R = H) gave the corresponding γ-hydroxyallylphosphonate that further reacted with tosylamines in the presence of diiodine (15 mol %) as a catalyst, affording the corresponding S2-type products in 63 to 70% isolated yields. Alternatively, the alcohol produced the corresponding acetate which, mediated by Ce(III), was successfully converted into the corresponding γ-aminoallylphosphonates .

Electrochemical nitrogen conversion for ammonia (NH) synthesis, driven by renewable electricity, offers a sustainable alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process. However, this conversion process remains limited by a low Faradaic efficiency (FE) and NH yield. Although transition metals have been widely studied as catalysts for NH synthesis through effective electron donation/back-donation mechanisms, there are challenges in electrochemical environments, including competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and catalyst stability issues.

Silver N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes are known to form biscarbene species from monocarbene analogs in protic polar solvents. However, the effect of the respective species of silver NHC complexes on their biological activity against bacteria or cancer cells has not been systematically explored, either in vitro or in vivo. The direct and simple conversion of monocarbene silver N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) halide complexes (NHC)AgX, (X= Cl, Br) 1a/b - 5a/b to their biscarbene analogues (NHC)2AgX 1c/d - 5c/d is reported.

High-efficiency electromagnetic transducers are crucial for enabling the self-sustained operation of underwater electromagnetic sound sources under power-constrained conditions as noted by Hao, Xie, and Ma [Proceedings of the 2019 Western China Acoustics Academic Conference, Guangzhou, China (November 5-9, 2019)]. This paper proposes a permanent magnet drive technology to enhance the electromechanical conversion efficiency of can-type electromagnetic transducers under low-power driving conditions. The can-type transducers consist of coils, an armature, and a cylindrical magnetic core with a central pillar, similar to the pot core proposed by Cui, Xu, Xu, and Shui [Electr.

Photo-oxidation of methane (CH) using hydrogen peroxide (HO) synthesized in situ from air and water under sunlight offers an attractive route for producing green methanol while storing intermittent solar energy. However, in commonly used aqueous-phase systems, photocatalysis efficiency is severely limited due to the ultralow availability of CH gas and HO intermediate at the flooded interface. Here, we report an atomically modified metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane nanoreactor that promotes direct CH photo-oxidation to methanol at the gas-solid interface in a reticular open framework.

Reductive direct substitution of α-arylvinyl triflates on the sp carbon atom by magnesium in the presence of chlorosilane proceeded to give the corresponding α-silylstyrenes, which could not be reduced further, and the reaction completely stopped because the reduction potential of α-silylstyrenes lies out of the reducible field of magnesium. The subsequent reduction of α-silylstyrenes by calcium brought about the second introduction of another silyl group to the vicinal carbon atom to lead a selective and simple route to a variety of 1,2-disilanes from vinyl triflates by cooperative works of magnesium and calcium with different reduction potentiality.
