The position and configuration of the C═C bond have a significant impact on the spatial conformation of unsaturated lipids, which subsequently affects their biological functions. Double bond isomerization of lipids is an important mechanism of bacterial stress response, but its in-depth mechanistic study still lacks effective analytical tools. Here, we developed a visible-light-activated dual-pathway reaction system that enables simultaneous [2 + 2] cycloaddition and catalytic - isomerization of the C═C bond of unsaturated lipids via directly excited anthraquinone radicals.

A Comparative Theoretical Study of the Atmospheric Chemistry of Dimethyl and Bis(trifluoromethyl) Sulfides.

J Phys Chem A

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, People's Republic of China.

Dimethyl sulfide (CHSCH) is the largest natural source of atmospheric sulfur. Bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfides (CFSCF) are one of the perfluorinated thioethers with great interest as the new refrigerant fluid and dielectric replacement gas for the sake of environmental concern. In order to clarify the effect of fluorine substitution, degradation mechanisms and kinetics for the reactions of CHSCH and CFSCF with OH radicals in the atmosphere have been calculated comprehensively in a comparative manner using various high-level methods.

A chlorine-free microwave-assisted, ionic liquid-catalyzed esterification of arylsulfonic acids with alcohols: an experimental and theoretical study.

Org Biomol Chem

December 2024

Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology, Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 1111 Budapest, Műegyetem rkp. 3, Hungary.

In the area of esterification of heteroatomic acids, after the microwave-assisted ionic liquid-catalyzed esterification of phosphinic acids, the esterification of arylsulfonic acids was also developed applying a 14-fold excess of alcohols at 200 °C in the presence of 10% butyl-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as an additive. The esterifications were optimized, and the effect of the substituents in the aromatic ring was evaluated. At the same time, a similar procedure described by Mandal using only one equivalent of alcohol at 120 °C for 5 min in toluene was refuted.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method for adding alkynyl groups to certain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds next to nitrogen in tertiary amines has been developed using alkynyl bromides and visible light.
  • This technique successfully coupled various types of secondary and tertiary amines with different alkynyl bromides, yielding 51 propargylamines with moderate to excellent results (31-80% yield).
  • The process likely works through a mechanism involving radical reactions, as indicated by early studies on how the reaction occurs.

Reactivity, Pathways, and Iodinated Disinfection Byproduct Formation during Chlorination of Iodotyrosines Derived from Edible Seaweed.

Environ Sci Technol

October 2024

State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers measured reaction rates of chlorine with two compounds from seaweed, monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and diiodotyrosine (DIT), finding that temperature increases the rate of these reactions.
  • * The study identified multiple toxic byproducts formed during chlorination, with some having significant health risks, revealing the dangers of cooking with iodine-rich foods.
