Few natural oxindole alkaloids possess an exceptional spiro-[(1,3)oxazinan-3,6'-oxindole] core structure, which results from an unusual oxidative indole rearrangement. The Rauvolfia alkaloid reserpine can be converted into the spirooxindole-1,3-oxazines dioxyreserpine and trioxyreserpine through efficient visible-light catalytic photooxygenation with anthraquinone photocatalysts. A mechanistic investigation sheds new light on the photooxidative rearrangement of reserpine and related monoterpene indole alkaloids, and the spirooxindole-1,3-oxazine products can be valorized by reductive ring opening, to obtain cis-decahydroisoquinolines as new enantiopure synthetic building blocks, as demonstrated for dioxyreserpine.

Semiconductor photocatalysts embedded with rare earth upconversion nanoparticles (REUPs) are a promising strategy to improve their photoresponse range, but their photocatalytic performance within the near-infrared (NIR) region is far from satisfactory. Here, a method is reported to improve the photocatalytic activity by adjusting the nanocavity of upconversion nanoparticles inside a semiconductor. Two types of CdS embedded with NaYF:Yb,Er photocatalysts with core-shell structure (no cavity) (NYE/CdS) and yolk-shell structure (empty cavity) (NYE@CdS) are synthesized by different methods.

Replacing the sluggish anodic water oxidation reaction with the glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) offers an energy-saving strategy to obtain value-added products during the hydrogen production process. However, rational design of the GOR electrocatalyst with an explicit structure-property relationship remains a challenge. In this study, by using cobalt chalcogenides as model catalysts, we performed an in-depth study of the GOR catalytic mechanism of CoS and CoSe nanosheets.

Electron-induced effects, which are prevalent in adsorption and heterogeneous catalytic reactions, can significantly influence the state and uptake of adsorbates. Here, we demonstrate the in situ doping of electron-deficient boron into the backbone of chitosan-based porous carbon materials. Despite a reduction in specific surface area, the resulting boron-doped porous carbons (NBPCs) exhibit an enhanced CO adsorption performance, with sample NBPC-10 achieving CO adsorption capacities of 7.
