For the first time, a catalytic protocol for a highly selective hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) of phenylacetic acid esters and amides under very mild reaction conditions is reported. Using a homogeneous iridium catalyst supported by a bidentate phosphine-imidazolin-2-imine P,N ligand, the HIE reaction on a series of phenylacetic acid derivatives proceeds with high yields, high selectivity, and with deuterium incorporation up to 99 %. The method is fully adaptable to the specific requirements of tritium chemistry, and its effectiveness was demonstrated by direct tritium labeling of the fungicide benalaxyl and the drug camylofine. Further insights into the mechanism of the HIE reaction with catalyst 1 have been provided utilizing DFT calculations, NMR studies, and X-ray diffraction analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Toluene, a major volatile organic compound, has significant implications for air pollution and human health, yet its biosynthesis by bacteria is not well understood.
- The research utilized 16S rRNA sequencing and machine learning to analyze how bacterial communities change over time during toluene production, highlighting the increased diversity and specific bacterial groups linked to this process.
- Key conditions for effective toluene biosynthesis were identified, including optimal temperature (25-30 °C) and pH (7-7.5), alongside significant relationships between specific bacterial families and functional genes associated with metabolic pathways.

Hypothesis: The addition of water to a non-ionic N-oxide deep eutectic solvent(DES) composed of phenylacetic acid (PhAA) and N-dodecylmorpholine-N-oxide(MO-12) in a 1:1 M ratio(PhAA/MO-12) will promote interfacial nanostructure formation due to increased proton transfer and solvophobic interactions, leading to reduced friction.
Experiments: The interfacial structure and friction of PhAA/MO-12 with water content up to 41.9 wt% were investigated at mica surfaces.
Sulfonation of IAA in Urtica eliminates its DR5 auxin activity.

N-Sulfonated IAA was discovered as a novel auxin metabolite in Urtica where it is biosynthesized de novo utilizing inorganic sulfate. It showed no auxin activity in DR5::GUS assay, implying possible inactivation/storage mechanism. A novel auxin derivative, N-sulfoindole-3-acetic acid (IAA-N-SOH, SIAA), was discovered in stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) among 116 sulfonated metabolites putatively identified by a semi-targeted UHPLC-QqTOF-MS analysis of 23 plant/algae/fungi species.

Carbon dioxide (CO) is an abundant and useful C feedstock for electrocarboxylation, a process that incorporates a carboxyl moiety into an organic molecule. In this work, three first-row transition metal CO reduction electrocatalysts, NiPDI (), NiTPA (), and Fe(salenCl) (), were explored as electrocarboxylation catalysts with benzyl chloride as a substrate. The cyclic voltammograms of all three catalysts showed current enhancements in the presence of benzyl chloride under a CO atmosphere.
