In this study, three new garcinoic acid dimers, δ,δ-bigarcinoic acid (), δ,δ-bi--garcinoic acid (), and γ,δ-bi--garcinoic acid (), and a new benzophenone derivative, (8)-4-geranyl-3,5-dihydroxybenzophenone (), as well as seven known compounds (-) were isolated from the seeds of . The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using MALDI-TOF-MS and spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR and electronic circular dichroism spectra. All of the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against two oral pathogens, and . Among them, and δ-garcinoic acid () exhibited antimicrobial activity against both of these microorganisms (MICs of 31.3-62.5 μM for and 15.6-31.3 μM for ). These results indicate that some chemical constituents in seeds have potential application in the prevention of oral diseases.

The rising popularity of bioconjugate therapeutics has led to growing interest in late-stage functionalization (LSF) of peptide scaffolds. α,β-Unsaturated amino acids like dehydroalanine (Dha) derivatives have emerged as particularly useful structures, as the electron-deficient olefin moiety can engage in late-stage functionalization reactions, like a Giese-type reaction. Cheap and widely available building blocks like organohalides can be converted into alkyl radicals by means of photoinduced silane-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) to offer a mild and straightforward methodology of alkylation.

Previously undescribed benzophenone rhamnosides, triadenosides A-F (1-6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Triadenum japonicum (Blume) Makino (Hypericaceae), where known compounds including benzophenone rhamnosides (7 and 8), benzophenone C-glucoside (9), flavonols and their glycosides (10-17), and biflavone (18) were also isolated and identified. Detailed spectroscopic analysis revealed that triadenoside A (1) was 2,3',5'-trihydroxy-4,6-dimethoxybenzophenone 2-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, while the absolute configuration of the rhamnosyl moiety was confirmed by HPLC analysis. Triadenosides B-E (2-5) were assigned as acetyl derivatives of 1 in their rhamnosyl moieties.

Photochemical deracemization has emerged as one of the most straightforward approaches to access highly enantioenriched compounds in recent years. While excited-state events such as energy transfer, single electron transfer, and ligand-to-metal charge transfer have been leveraged to promote stereoablation, approaches relying on hydrogen atom transfer, which circumvent the limitations imposed by the triplet energy and redox potential of racemic substrates, remain underexplored. Conceptually, the most attractive method for tertiary stereocenter deracemization might be hydrogen atom abstraction followed by hydrogen atom donation.

The dimeric calcium and magnesium hydrides, [(BDI)AeH] [BDI=HC{(Me)CNDipp}, Dipp=2,6-i-PrCH; Ae=Mg or Ca] do not react with PhGeH in non-coordinating solvent. Addition of THF, however, induces deprotonation and access to monomeric Ae-germanide complexes, [(BDI)Ae{GePh}(THF)], both of which have been structurally characterized. Although this process is facile when Ae=Ca, the analogous magnesium-based reaction requires heating to temperatures >100 °C, under which conditions germanide formation is complicated by THF ring opening and the generation of an alkaline earth germyl-C-terminated n-butoxide, [(BDI)Mg{μ-O(CH)GePh}].
