The McKenna reaction is a well-known and popular method for the efficient and mild synthesis of organophosphorus acids. Bromotrimethylsilane (BTMS) is the main reagent in this reaction, which transforms dialkyl phosphonate esters into bis(trimethylsilyl)esters, which are then easily converted into the target acids. However, the versatile character of the McKenna reaction is not always used to its full extent, due to formation of side products. Herein, demonstrated by using model examples we have not only analyzed the typical side processes accompanying the McKenna reaction, but also uncovered new ones. Further, we discovered that some commonly recommended precautions did not always circumvent the side reactions. The proposed results and recommendations may facilitate the synthesis of phosphonic acids.

Article Synopsis
- Bio-oils have many oxygenated hydrocarbons that are unstable during storage and refining, prompting this study to analyze hydroxyl groups and their aging behavior in different bio-oil fractions.
- Five bio-oil fractions were created (water-soluble and water-insoluble) and were examined using advanced mass spectrometry and viscosity tests to understand their chemical properties and stability.
- An unsupervised learning technique, k-means clustering, helped identify specific hydroxyl functionalities in the fractions, revealing that water-soluble fractions were more stable despite high oxygen content, while the water-insoluble fractions experienced increased viscosity as they aged.

Nutrient pollution has become an important issue to solve in stormwater runoff due to the fast population growth and urbanization that impacts water quality and triggers harmful algal blooms. There is an acute need to link the dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) decomposition with the coupled nitrification and denitrification pathways to realize the pattern shifts in the nitrogen cycle. This paper presented a lab-scale cascade upflow biofiltration system for comparison of nitrate and phosphate removal from stormwater matrices through two specialty adsorbents at three influent conditions.

Many phytopathogenic bacteria require a type III secretion system (TTSS) to activate effector-triggered immunity (ETI). We identified a calcium-binding protein, EfhX, in the citrus pathogen subsp. that does not require a TTSS to activate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and elicit a hypersensitive reaction (HR) in tomato leaves following infection.

In electrokinetic remediation (EKR), the sedimentary dissolved organic matter (DOM) could impede remediation by scavenging reactive species and generating unintended byproducts. Yet its transformation and mechanisms remained largely unknown. This study conducted molecular-level characterization of the water-extractable DOM (WEOM) in EKR using negative-ion electrospray ionization coupled to 21 tesla Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (21 T FT-ICR MS).
