Here we report highly efficient and chemoselective azadiene-imine reductive couplings catalyzed by (Ph-BPE)Cu-H that afford anti-1,2-diamines. In all cases, reactions take place with either aldimine or ketimine electrophiles to deliver a single diastereomer of product in >95:5 er. The products' diamines are easily differentiable, facilitating downstream synthesis.

Functionalized Terthiophene as an Ambipolar Redox System: Structure, Spectroscopy, and Switchable Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer.

Organic redox systems that can undergo oxidative and reductive (ambipolar) electron transfer are elusive yet attractive for applications across synthetic chemistry and energy science. Specifically, the use of ambipolar redox systems in proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions is largely unexplored but could enable "switchable" reactivity wherein the uptake and release of hydrogen atoms are controlled using a redox stimulus. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of an ambipolar functionalized terthiophene (TTH) bearing methyl thioether and phosphine oxide groups that exhibits switchable PCET reactivity.

Coordinatively unsaturated copper (Cu) has been demonstrated to be effective for electrifying CO reduction into C products by adjusting the coupling of C-C intermediates. Nevertheless, the intuitive impacts of ultralow coordination Cu sites on C products are scarcely elucidated due to the lack of synthetic recipes for Cu with low coordination numbers and its vulnerability to aggregation under reductive potentials. Herein, computational predictions revealed that Cu sites with higher levels of coordinative unsaturation favored the adsorption of C and C intermediates.

Electrochemical reduction technology is a promising method for addressing the persistent contamination of groundwater by chlorinated hydrocarbons. Current research shows that electrochemical reductive dechlorination primarily relies on direct electron transfer (DET) and active hydrogen (H) mediated indirect electron transfer processes, thereby achieving efficient dechlorination and detoxification. This paper explores the influence of the molecular charge structure of chlorinated hydrocarbons, including chlorolefin, chloroalkanes, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, and chloro-carboxylic acid, on reductive dechlorination from the perspective of molecular electrostatic potential and local electron affinity.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most widely used chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of both solid and liquid tumors in patients of all age groups. However, it is likely to produce several side effects that include doxorubicin cardiomyopathy. Nanoparticles (NPs) can offer targeted delivery and release of the drug, potentially increasing treatment efficiency and alleviating side effects.
