Ethanol is shown to act as a hydrogenating agent for ynamides under palladium catalysis. This behavior is different from the normally expected reaction of ethanol addition to alkynes. The reaction shows stereoselectivity for E enamides, which is in contrast to reports using other hydrogenating sources. The method was also extended to ynamines. Alternatively, the use of ethanol and ammonium formate as the hydrogenating source gives Z enamides. The role of ethanol in hydrogenation was demonstrated by means deuterium labeling experiment.

A straightforward one-step hydrothermal method is introduced for synthesizing highly efficient red fluorescence carbon dots (R-CQDs), utilizing Heena leaf (Lawsonia inermis) powder as the carbon precursor. The resulting R-CQDs exhibit excitation at 540 nm and emission at 675 nm, a high absolute photoluminescence (PL) with quantum yield of 40% in ethanol. Various physicochemical characterization was employed to confirm successful formation of R-CQDs including UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

Background: Antiseptic solutions are commonly utilized during total joint arthroplasty (TJA) to prevent and treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The purpose of this study was to investigate which antiseptic solution is most effective against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Escherichia coli biofilms established in vitro on orthopaedic surfaces commonly utilized in total knee arthroplasty: cobalt-chromium (CC), oxidized zirconium (OxZr), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
Methods: MSSA and E.

Photocatalytic transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived aldehydes to alcohols often results in unwanted coupling co-products. Herein, an ultraselective hydrogen transfer system enabled by in situ oxidative C─C bond cleavage over a Janus single-atom palladium on titanium dioxide (0.5Pd/TiO) photocatalyst is presented.

Significant changes in the proteome highlight essential metabolic adaptations for development and oxidative signaling induced by the treatment of young sugarcane plants with hydrogen peroxide. These adaptations suggest that hydrogen peroxide acts not only as a stressor but primarily as a signaling molecule, triggering specific metabolic pathways that regulate growth and plant resilience. Sugarcane is a crucial crop for sugar and ethanol production, often influenced by environmental signals.
