Design and implementation of the first (asymmetric) Fe-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular difunctionalization of vinyl cyclopropanes (VCPs) with alkyl halides and aryl Grignard reagents has been realized a mechanistically driven approach. Mechanistic studies support the diffusion of alkyl radical intermediates out of the solvent cage to participate in an intra- or intermolecular radical cascade with a range of VCPs followed by re-entering the Fe radical cross-coupling cycle to undergo (stereo)selective C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation. This work provides a proof-of-concept of the use of vinyl cyclopropanes as synthetically useful 1,5-synthons in Fe-catalyzed conjunctive cross-couplings with alkyl halides and aryl/vinyl Grignard reagents. Overall, we provide new design principles for Fe-mediated radical processes and underscore the potential of using combined computations and experiments to accelerate the development of challenging transformations.

Amyloidosis is a group of proteinopathies characterized by the systemic or organ-specific deposition of proteins in the form of amyloid fibers. Nearly 40 proteins play a role in these pathologies, and the structures of the associated fibers are beginning to be determined by Cryo-EM. However, the molecular events underlying the process, such as fiber nucleation and elongation, are poorly understood, which impairs developing efficient therapies.

Incorporating a third component through ternary copolymerization strategy has proven to be a promising and effective approach for further improving the device performance of polymer donors. However, terpolymer donors typically exhibit negative effects on molecular stacking and weaken charge transport due to the irregular distribution of the polymer skeleton. Herein, two terpolymers PBBQ-5 (5% ff-Qx) and PBBQ-10 (10% ff-Qx) are developed by introducing the difluoro-2-(3-hexyldecyloxy) quinoxaline (ff-Qx) to the main chain of PM6.

Article Synopsis
- Ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) are reactive intermediates formed from clavatol that lead to pseudonatural products (PNPs) in fungi, which can have significant biological activities.
- Genome mining identified a clavatol biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in the Diaporthe sp. SYSU-MS4722 fungus, allowing for the heterologous expression of key genes in Aspergillus oryzae NSAR1, leading to the discovery of 13 new clavatol-based PNPs.
- Structural analysis using various spectroscopic techniques confirmed the identities of these compounds, revealing several with notable anti-fibrotic activity.

To explore alkali-cation selectivity at the chemical reaction level, in this work, we for the first time focused on the different behaviors of potassium and sodium ions in intra- and intermolecular arylation. We prepared a series of aromatic foldamers based on pyridine/oxadiazole alternating sequences as the catalysts for the arylation. Our studies revealed that foldamers can selectively recognize K over Na and the interactions between foldamers and K drive the arylation with a significant yield.
