Laccase (LAC) belongs to the blue multi‑copper lignolytic oxidase enzymes, and has been regarded as an important tool to produce some important dimers in the application of biotechnology. In this study, sixteen coumarins 1-16 were screened to investigate the catalytic ability of LAC, and three coumarins 6, 7, and 16 could be catalyzed to produce three coumarin derivative coupling with acetone 6a, 7a, and 16a. The potential interaction mechanisms of three coumarins 6, 7, and 16 with LAC were analyzed by molecular docking. The kinetic analyses of catalytic reactions for coumarins 6, 7, and 16 with LAC were performed by using the transformed products 6a, 7a, and 16a as standard substances. Km values of coumarins 6, 7, and 16 were ranged from 0.87 ± 0.07 μM to 2.74 ± 0.29 μM, respectively. This finding suggested that LAC was a reliable method to catalyze oxidative coupling.

Herein, we first report a photocatalytic OCM using CO2 as a soft oxidant for C2H6 production under mild conditions, where an efficient photocatalyst with unique interface sites is constructed to facilitate CO2 adsorption and activation, while concurrently boosting CH4 dissociation. As a prototype, the Au quantum dots anchored on oxygen-deficient TiO2 nanosheets are fabricated, where the Au-Vo-Ti interface sites for CO2 adsorption and activation are collectively disclosed by in situ Kelvin probe force microscopy, quasi in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Compared with single metal site, the Au-Vo-Ti interface sites exhibit the lower CO2 adsorption energy and decrease the energy barrier of the *CO2 hydrogenation step from 1.

A Pd (II)-catalyzed direct C3-(sp)-H alkenylation of heteroarenes using benzothiazole as a directing group was successfully achieved. A wide range of 2--alkylpyrroles undergo an oxidative coupling with a variety of acrylates to furnish highly regio- and chemoselective E-alkenylation products at the C3 position. An important intermediate complex has been isolated and characterized so as to have an insight into the mechanism.

This work explores the use of a cross-shaped organic framework that is used as a template for the investigation of multi-functionalized chromophores. We report the design and synthesis of a universal cross-shaped building block bearing two bromines and two iodines on its peripheral positions. The template can be synthesized on a gram scale in a five-step reaction comprising an oxidative homo-coupling macro-cyclization.

A dual photoredox/cobalt-catalyzed protocol for chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective reductive coupling of 1,1-disubstituted allenes and cyclobutenes through chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective oxidative cyclization followed by stereoselective protonation promoted by a chiral phosphine-cobalt complex is presented. Such process represents an unprecedented reaction pathway for cobalt catalysis that enables selective transformation of the less sterically congested alkenes of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with cyclobutenes, incorporating a broad scope of tetrasubstituted alkenes into the cyclobutane scaffolds in up to 86% yield, >98:2 chemo- and regioselectivity, >98:2 dr and >99.5:0.

Polynuclear Au(I) cluster photocatalysts, known for their high activity and stability, hold substantial potential in organic synthetic chemistry. This study synthesized two Au(I) supramolecular cluster catalysts with different nuclearities: a tetranuclear cluster, C1 ([(dppmAu2)2L1]•PF6-), and a hexadecanuclear cluster, C2 [(dppmAu2)6(Au4)(L1)4]•4PF6-, through a multicomponent stepwise self-assembly approach. Both cluster structures feature aurophilicity interaction motifs that endow them with exceptional photocatalytic performance, exhibiting optical band gaps of 2.
