We report herein an unprecedented highly efficient Guerbet-type reaction at room temperature (catalytic TON up to >6000). This β-alkylation of secondary methyl carbinols with primary alcohols has significant advantage of delivering higher-order secondary alcohols in an economical, redox-neutral fashion. In addition, the first enantioselective Guerbet reaction has also been achieved using a commercially available chiral ruthenium complex to deliver secondary alcohols with moderate yield and up to 92 % ee. In both reactions, the use of a traceless ketone promoter proved to be beneficial for the catalytic efficiency.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represents the complexity of interaction between cancer and cells of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Immune cells affect tumor cell behavior, thus driving cancer progression. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are responsible of the desmoplastic and fibrotic reaction by regulating deposition and remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM).

Branched surfactants exhibit a lower surface tension, excellent low defoaming performance, and better wetting ability compared with linear surfactants, making them promising for applications in industrial cleaning. In this study, 2-hexyl-1-decene (C8 olefin dimer), obtained from the dimerization of 1-octene, was used as the hydrophobe to synthesize branched nonionic surfactants via hydroxylation and ethoxylation. The hydroxylation of the C8 olefin dimer to synthesize 2-hexyldecane-1,2-diol (C8 BD) using HO and HCOOH was investigated systematically.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the impact of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and influenza on adults hospitalized with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in Japan from 2018 to 2019.
- - Out of 173 hospitalized adults, low percentages were found to be infected with influenza (4.0%), RSV (5.2%), and hMPV (6.4%), with RSV and hMPV showing different seasonal patterns compared to influenza.
- - The research suggests that healthcare providers should maintain a high level of awareness for RSV and hMPV in adult ARTI cases, as they sometimes lead to more severe outcomes and higher post-hospitalization treatment
