Unlike phosphonium ylides used extensively for C═C bond formation, herein we disclose the direct use of phosphonium salts for site-selective alkylation to -quinols via a 5-membered betaine-type intermediate. This strategy provides a novel and general approach for the synthesis of α-(-aminoaryl) esters, amides and ketones under ambient conditions. The reaction proceeds through in situ generation of P-ylide, alkylation and aromatization. Reaction is highly compatible with diverse functional phosphonium salts and amines.

Pyridines can be deuterated at the remote sites by treatment with KOBu in DMSO- , although without discrimination between the - and -position. Herein, base-catalyzed deuterations have been studied, computationally and experimentally, using a series of pyridyl phosphonium salts with a temporary electron-withdrawing group to block the -position while increasing the acidity in the other positions.

The bonding situation in [Fp-P4][Al(ORF)4] (1) (Fp = (CO)2CpFe, RF = C(CF3)3) gives rise to an Umpolung of the P4 fragment, which should make it accessible for nucleophiles. To investigate this projected reactivity, the complex was combined with a series of hydroxy-nucleophiles - that all do not react with free P4 - leading to a variety of P1 building blocks. With excess of R-OH (R = Me, Et, Ph), the thermodynamically more stable complex salts [Fp-P(H)x(OR)3-x)][Al(ORF)4] (x = 2,1,0) (2b‑2d) are formed and show that the phosphonium type pathway is accessible.

(1) Background: Since the discovery of antibiotics in the first half of the 20th century, humans have abused this privilege, giving rise to antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Recent research has brought to light the use of antimicrobial peptides in polymers, hydrogels, and nanoparticles (NPs) as a newer and safer alternative to traditional antibiotics. (2) Methods: This review article is a synthesis of the scientific works published in the last 15 years, focusing on the synthesis of polymers with proven antimicrobial properties.

Article Synopsis
- The pyridine core is vital in many FDA-approved drugs and EPA-regulated chemicals, serving as a key structural component in various applications like ligands and catalysts.
- Direct functionalization of pyridine is challenging due to its unstable nature and nitrogen's strong coordination, but recent advancements in regioselective C-H activation techniques show promise for improving this process.
- This review highlights innovative strategies for meta and para-C-H functionalization, discussing both their advantages and limitations, to encourage further developments in pyridine chemistry.
Insights into the photoinduced anion translocation of donor-π-acceptor (ion) molecules.

By strategic design and synthesis of a new series of phosphonium salts (compounds 1-7[OTf]), where [OTf] stands for the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion, we performed comprehensive spectroscopic and dynamic studies on the photoinduced anion migration in toluene. Our aim is to probe if the anion migration is associated with an intrinsic barrier or is barrier-free. After the occurrence of excited-state intramolecular charge transfer (ESICT) in 1-7, the charge redistribution of the cation triggers the translocation of the counter anion [OTf], resulting in emission spectral temporal evolution.
