Aza-Michael addition of 16-dehydropregnenolone was studied in the presence of a basic ionic liquid, [DBU][OAc] as catalyst and solvent. The reaction was carried out using different primary and secondary amines as N-nucleophiles. The products were obtained in moderate to good yields and were characterized by H and C NMR, MS and IR. The ionic liquid was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst that was reused five times. The products were investigated for the inhibition of in vitro C-lyase activity and displayed moderate inhibitory effect.

This study presents the synthesis of a Cd(II) based hydrophobic three dimensional crystalline network material (CNM), [Cd(L)(LH)(bpe)], {L = {4,4'-(hexafluroisopropylidine)bis(benzoate)} and 1,2-di(4-pyridyl) ethylene (bpe)}, 1(Cd), by employing the slow-diffusion method. The three-dimensional structure of 1(Cd) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Subsequently, post-synthetic modification of 1(Cd) with Cu(II) at room temperature led to the formation of isostructural 1(Cu) with partial substitution.

Liquid Crystalline Networks (LCNs) are widely investigated to develop actuators, from soft robots to artificial muscles. Indeed, they can produce forces and movements in response to a plethora of external stimuli, showing kinetics up to the millisecond time-scale. One of the most explored preparation technique involves the photopolymerization of an aligned layer of reactive mesogens.
