  • This new approach offers advantages over traditional methods like the Shapiro reaction, including compatibility with various substrates and milder reaction conditions.
  • The process yields environmentally friendly byproducts and demonstrates practical applicability through successful large-scale synthesis, highlighting its potential for pharmaceutical development.

Article Abstract

The direct conversion of naturally abundant carbonyl compounds provides a powerful platform for the efficient synthesis of valuable chemicals. In particular, the conversion of ketones to alkenes is a commonly encountered chemical transformation, often achieved via the multistep Shapiro reaction with tosylhydrazone and over stoichiometric organolithium or Grignard reagent. Herein, we report an earth abundant nickel-catalyzed alkenylation of naturally abundant methylene ketones to afford a wide range of alkene derivatives, mediated by hydrazine. The protocol features a broad substrate scope (including alkyl ketones, aryl ketones, and aldehydes), good functional group compatibility, mild reaction conditions, water tolerance, and only environmentally friendly N, H, and HO as theoretical byproducts. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis with good yield and generation of pharmaceutical intermediates highlighted its practical applicability.

The inclusion of redox mediators into electrocatalytic systems facilitates rapid electron shuttling kinetics and boosts the overall catalytic performance of the electrode. This approach overcomes the sluggish reaction dynamics associated with direct electron transfer, which may be impeded by restricted analyte access to the electrode's active sites. In contrast to conventional synthetic redox mediators, naturally sourced phytomolecule rutin trihydrate (RT), extracted from apple juice, offers potential ecological advantages.

Erythroleukemia, a complex myeloproliferative disorder presenting as acute or chronic, is characterized by aberrant proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. Although nootkatone, a sesquiterpene derived from grapefruit peel and Alaska yellow cedar, has shown anticancer activity predominantly in solid tumors, its effects in erythroleukemia remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nootkatone and its derivatives on erythroleukemia.

This study investigates the modulations in the optical properties of cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and hydrazine-mediated copper nanoclusters (CuNCs). By employing a bottom-up approach, we demonstrate the formation of blue-emitting CuNCs facilitated by CPC and hydrazine, where hydrazine acts both as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The optical properties of the CuNCs were systematically tuned by varying the chain length of the diamine, resulting in emissions ranging from blue to yellow.
