The influence of under-fermented (UF) cocoa (0 to 65 %) on bioactive amines in chocolate and their in vitro bioaccessibility was investigated. The same amines were found in all treatments; however, treatments were divided into two groups regarding total amines [0 & 20 % UF (34 mg/kg) and 35 to 65 % UF (17 mg/kg)] and phenolic levels [lower and higher, respectively]. Serotonin, tyramine, putrescine, cadaverine, agmatine and phenylethylamine were higher in chocolate with ≤ 20 % UF cocoa. Histamine and spermidine were not affected. Digestibility studies indicated that low levels of amines were present in the oral phase. Gastric digestion was effective in releasing tyramine, spermidine and phenylethylamine from conjugates. Serotonin and agmatine were not detected after in vitro digestion of chocolate with ≥ 35 % UF cocoa. Histamine was released during in vitro intestinal digestion. By adding different proportions of UF cocoa during chocolate production, the levels and bioaccessibility of amines can be modulated.

The difluoromethyl group is a crucial fluorinated moiety with distinctive biological properties, and the synthesis of chiral CF₂H-containing analogs has been recognized as a powerful strategy in drug design. To date, the most established method for accessing enantioenriched difluoromethyl compounds involves the enantioselective functionalization of nucleophilic and electrophilic CF₂H synthons. However, this approach is limited by lower reactivity and reduced enantioselectivity.

Cationic gemini surfactants are used due to their broad spectrum of activity, especially surface, anticorrosive and antimicrobial properties. Mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants are also increasingly described. In order to investigate the effect of anionic additive on antimicrobial activity, experimental studies were carried out to obtain MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) against and bacteria.

Herein, a one-pot domino catalyzed three-component process is described, which is initiated by a palladium/zinc cooperatively catalyzed cycloaddition between trimethylenemethane (TMM) and unactivated alkyl/aryl imines, followed by one-pot isomerization and Zn(OTf)-catalyzed DDQ oxidation, furnishing valuable substituted pyrroles. We disclose that the palladium/zinc cooperative catalysis affords a dual-Zn(OTf)-stabilized azapalladacycle, wherein the Pd-N bond is polarized by Zn(OTf), facilitating a unique outer-sphere allylic amination. Moreover, subsequent DDQ dehydrogenation can be feasibly promoted by zinc catalysis.

Buchwald-Hartwig (BH) aminations are crucial for synthesizing arylamine motifs in numerous bioactive molecules and fine chemicals. While homogeneous palladium complexes can be effective catalysts, their high costs and environmental impact motivate the search for alternative approaches. Heterogeneous palladium single-atom catalysts (SAC) offer promising recoverable alternatives in C-C cross-couplings.
