An efficient ruthenium-catalyzed method has been developed for the direct N-alkylation of sulfur-containing amines with alcohols, for the first time, by a step-economical and environmentally friendly hydrogen borrowing strategy. The present methodology features base-free conditions and broad substrate scope, with water being the only by-product. Moreover, this protocol has been applied to the synthesis of the pharmaceutical drug Quetiapine.

Thio-modified trianglimines, a novel group of chiral macrocyclic compounds of high structural dynamics.
Sci Rep

Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 8, Poznan, 61 614, Poland.
The embellishing of the macrocycle core with sulfur substituents of varied sterical requirements changes the structural dynamics of chiral, triangular polyimines. Despite their formal high symmetry, these compounds adopt diverse conformations, in which the macrocycle core represents a non-changeable unit. DFT calculations reveal that the mutual arrangement of sulfur-containing substituents is controlled mainly by sterical interactions.

Article Synopsis
- Ambient fine particulate matter (PM) can trigger harmful reactive oxygen species that negatively affect human health, yet molecular-level analysis of these active species remains limited.
- The study employed high-resolution mass spectrometry to analyze water-soluble organic components from ambient PM samples, revealing significant influences from biomass burning in winter and ship emissions in summer.
- Key findings showed that ship emissions largely consisted of organic amine and sulfur-containing compounds, while biomass burning emissions featured oxygen-containing aromatic compounds, highlighting their roles in the oxidative potential and toxicity of PM.

Organobismuth compounds have been used in various areas of science, like biology and organic synthesis, because they are normally nontoxic and exhibit unique properties. Bismuth induces metallothionein production and is known to exhibit thiophilicity. However, few reports on the reactions between bismuth and sulfur compounds exist.

As a typical sulfur-containing volatile organic compound, dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is known for its high toxicity and resistance to degradation, necessitating efficient control in environmental media. To address the limitations of biological treatment in degradation capacity, this study employs electro-stimulation to promote DMDS elimination by a porous polyaniline@carbon nanotube bioanode developed on graphite sheet (PANI@CNT/GS). Compared with the unmodified GS bioanode, the PANI@CNT/GS bioanode demonstrates significant advantages in biofilm activity, redox property, and DMDS degradation efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- Triclocarban (TCC) is an antimicrobial agent that accumulates in environmental systems and has been shown to significantly influence anaerobic sulfur transformations, leading to increased toxic hydrogen sulfide (HS) production.
- Experimental results indicated that TCC enhanced the transfer of sulfur from solid to liquid phases, improved sulfate reduction, and degraded sulfur-containing amino acids, resulting in a 24.76-478.12% increase in HS yields from total suspended solids.
- Additionally, TCC altered the microbial community by enriching bacteria that degrade organic substrates and those that reduce sulfate, boosting the presence of genes related to sulfate transport and reduction processes.
