TMSOTf-mediated reaction of alkynyl vinylogous carbonates serendipitously gave 1,4-oxazepine and dihydropyran dienes transposition of an ethyl acrylate moiety involving intramolecular cascade Prins-type cyclization/retro-oxa-Michael reaction/cycloisomerisation. The developed atom-economical protocol selectively provides an double bond geometry. Dihydropyran dienes could be reduced diastereoselectively using EtSiH/TMSOTf or could be transformed into polycyclic heterocycles by Heck reaction.

In order to cope with the massive tissue bleeding caused by sudden trauma and the demand for bioengineering materials with adjustable wet adhesion properties, this study formed the first layer of network by adding galactomannan (GG) and collagen (Col) structure, and then use the Fe-urushiol (UH) redox system to activate free radicals to initiate the polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) to quickly form an interpenetrating double network hydrogel. The cis hydroxyl group in GG and the hydroxyl group of UH form dynamic covalent borate ester bonds with borate ions in the borax solution, and use their responsiveness to pH to control the catechol group to achieve controllable adhesion. UH and Fe endowed the hydrogel with excellent antibacterial ability, while adding Col enhanced the mechanical properties of the hydrogel.

Smart materials that adapt to various stimuli, such as light, hold immense potential across many fields. Photoresponsive molecules like azobenzenes, which undergo - photoisomerization when exposed to light, are particularly valuable for applications in smart coatings, light-controlled adhesives, and photoresists in semiconductors and integrated circuits. Despite advances in using azobenzene moieties for stimuli-responsive adhesives, the role of push-pull electronic effects in regulating reversible adhesion remains largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • Human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is an important enzyme that helps produce substances called leukotrienes, which are involved in the immune response and can cause inflammation and cancer.
  • Researchers found new chemical compounds that effectively block 5-LO, particularly focusing on a family of inhibitors called tyrphostins.
  • Two specific compounds, degrasyn and AG556, were identified as strong 5-LO blockers that work by attaching to parts of the enzyme, which could lead to new treatments for inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Ionogels are emerging as promising electronics due to their exceptional ionic conductivity, stretchability, and high thermal stability. However, developing ionogels with enhanced mechanical properties without compromising conductivity and ion transport rates remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a zwitterionic cross-linker, 4-(2-(((2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl)-4,14-dimethyl-8,13-dioxo-7,12-dioxa-4,9-diazapentadec-14-en-4-ium-1-propanesulfonate (MEPS) and utilized it to cross-link a variety of functional monomers, leading to the synthesis of conductive ionogels that exhibit both high mechanical strength and versatile applicability.
