A manganese-catalyzed oxidative kinetic resolution of cyclic benzylic ethers through asymmetric C(sp )-H oxidation is reported. The practical approach is applicable to a wide range of 1,3-dihydroisobenzofurans bearing diverse functional groups and substituent patterns at the α position with extremely efficient enantiodiscrimination. The generality of the strategy was further demonstrated by efficient oxidative kinetic resolution of another type of five-membered cyclic benzylic ether, 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, and six-membered 6H-benzo[c]chromenes. Direct late-stage oxidative kinetic resolution of bioactive molecules that are otherwise difficult to access was further explored.

Gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of dialkynyl(biaryl)phosphine oxides provided versatile benzo-fused phosphepine oxides. O-exo adducts were obtained as the major product, and O-endo adducts were the minor product. O-exo and O-endo indicate the position of an oxygen atom with respect to the central phosphepine framework.

MXenzymes, a promising class of catalytic therapeutic material, offer great potential for tumor treatment, but they encounter significant obstacles due to suboptimal catalytic efficiency and kinetics in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, this study draws inspiration from the electronic structure of transition metal vanadium, proposing the leverage of TME specific-features to induce structural transformations in sheet-like vanadium carbide MXenzymes (TVMz). These transformations trigger cascading catalytic reactions that amplify oxidative stress, thereby significantly enhancing multimodal tumor therapy.

Efficient catalytic water splitting demands advanced catalysts to improve the slow kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Earth-abundant transition metal oxides show promising OER activity in alkaline media. However, most experimental information available is either from post-mortem studies or in-situ space-averaged X-ray techniques in the micrometer range.

Related to the inactive form of nitrile hydratase, NHase, that contains Fe(NO) within tripeptide NS binding environment, the NO transfer reactivity of (bis-mercaptoethane diazacycloheptane)Fe(NO) and (bis-mercaptoethane diazadimethylethane)Fe(NO) is compared to Co(NO) analogs. Acceptors of NO include cobalt octaethylporphyrin and the [(NS)M] dimeric precursors in the synthesis of the Fe(NO) and Co(NO) biomimetics. Qualitative rates are augmented by a definitive kinetic study finding that rates of NO transfer from (NS)M(NO) to [(NS)M'] are dependent on M and M' as well as the hydrocarbon N to N and N to S linkers.
