The conjugate addition of alcohols to vinyl diazonium ions formed via Zn(OTf)-catalysis gives α-diazo-β-alkoxy carbonyls. The diazo group is retained in this reaction, and this process is an efficient way to couple a reactive partner to the diazo fragment. As an example, we disclose that addition of allyl alcohols provides tetrahydro-3-furo[3,4-]pyrazoles via an addition/cycloaddition sequence. This two-step sequence provides good yields and good diastereoselectivity of these sterically hindered pyrazoline scaffolds with up to three quaternary centers and four stereogenic centers. These products can be elaborated to cyclopropane-fused tetrahydrofurans upon liberation of nitrogen. The reaction conditions are mild, operationally simple, and avoid the use of expensive transition metal catalysts.

Over the past decade, fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances (F-NPS) have emerged as the most representative synthetic opioids in third-generation drugs. These substances are characterized by their "low" fatal dose and parent drug levels in biological matrices, "fast" rates of derivatization and metabolism, and "many" derivatization sites and analogs. The low levels of parent fentanyl NPS in biological matrices complicate their detection, necessitating the use of characteristic metabolites as biomarkers for forensic analysis.

The photo-induced CO-releasing properties of the dark-stable complex [RuCl(CO)L] (L = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoxaline) were investigated under 468 nm light exposure in the presence and absence of biomolecules such as histidine, calf thymus DNA and hen egg white lysozyme. The CO release kinetics were consistent regardless of the presence of these biomolecules, suggesting that they did not influence the CO release mechanism. The quinoxaline ligand demonstrated exceptional cytotoxicity against human acute monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1), with evidence of potential DNA damage ascertained by comet assay, while it remained non-toxic to normal kidney epithelial cells derived from African green monkey (Vero) cell lines.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in the extracellular space, which leads to various adverse effects such as oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, tau phosphorylation, synapse loss, and neurodegeneration. Therefore, therapeutic interventions that can reduce Aβ-toxicity and slow down the progression of cognitive dysfunction in AD have significance. One promising approach is to use extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are released by neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).

Electrochemical alcohol oxidation (EAO) represents an effective method for the production of high-value carbonyl products. However, its industrial viability is hindered by suboptimal efficiency stemming from low reaction rates. Here, we present a synergistic electrocatalysis approach that integrates an active electrode and aminoxyl radical to enhance the performance of EAO.

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with favorable interfacial interactions between dispersed and continuous phases offer a promising approach to overcome the traditional trade-off between permeability and selectivity in membrane-based gas separation. In this study, we developed free-standing MMMs by embedding pristine and surface-modified TiCT MXenes into Matrimid 5218 polymer for efficient CO/CH separation. Two-dimensional TiCT with adjustable surface terminations provided control over these critical interfacial interactions.
