The reaction of vinylazides with alkenyldiazo compounds in the presence of [Cu(CH CN) ][BF ] provided cyclopentene derivatives with retention of the azide functionality. This process likely involves a sequence comprising: 1) decomposition of the diazo component with generation of a copper alkenylcarbene species; 2) stepwise regioselective [3+2] cycloaddition; 3) allylic azide rearrangement. This method is compatible with a broad range of substrates. We also show that the azide-containing cycloadducts can be efficiently converted into the corresponding amine and triazole derivatives.

The use of olefins in the construction of cyclic compounds represents a powerful strategy for advancing the pharmaceutical industry. Photocycloaddition has attracted significant interest from chemists due to its ability to exploit simple and readily available olefins along with their reaction patterns under mild conditions. Moreover, the sustainable and versatile pathways for generating highly reactive intermediates can greatly enrich both substrate diversity and reaction patterns.

Photocycloreversion reactions of three diarylethene derivatives whose structures differ only in the placement of two sulfur atoms in the cyclopentene rings are investigated. Despite the minuscule differences between the molecules, both the yields and times of the photoreactions vary considerably. Using UV-vis and infrared femtosecond spectroscopy and quantum chemical dynamics simulations, we elucidate the relationships among the quantum yield, electronic and vibrational relaxation time, and structural properties of the dithienylethene photoswitches.

Terpenoids, abundant and structurally diverse secondary metabolites in plants, especially in conifer species, play crucial roles in the plant defense mechanism and plant growth and development. In , terpenoids' biosynthesis relies on both the mevalonate (MVA) pathway and the 2-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, with 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl-4-diphosphate synthase (HDS) catalyzing the sixth step of the MEP pathway. In this study, we cloned and conducted bioinformatics analysis of the gene from .

Plant sphingolipids are lipophilic membrane components essential for different cellular functions but they also act as signaling molecules in various aspects of plant development. However, the interaction between plant sphingolipids and abscission remains largely uncharacterized. Here, the possible role of sphingolipids in regulating fruit abscission was examined in the abscission zone (AZ) of olive fruit.
