Electric field acceleration of alkyl hydroperoxide activation to acylate amines in the scanning tunneling microscope-based break-junction is reported. Alkyl hydroperoxide mixtures, generated from hydrocarbon autoxidation in air, were found to be competent reagents for the functionalization of gold surfaces. Intermolecular coupling on the surface in the presence of amines was observed, yielding normal alkylamides. This novel mode of alkyl hydroperoxide activation to generate acylium equivalents was found to be responsive to the magnitude of the bias in the break junction, indicating an electric field influence on this novel reactivity.

The homolytic cleavage of C-C bonds adjacent to specific functional groups has lately emerged as a versatile approach for molecular diversification. Despite the ubiquity and synthetic utility of ketones, radical fragmentation of their α-C-C bonds has proven to be a formidable challenge. Here, we present a broadly applicable deacylative strategy designed to homolytically cleave aliphatic ketones of various complexities, including transformations of cycloalkanones into carboxylic acids tethered to C-centered free radicals that can be engaged in diverse radical-based processes.

Objectives: Bone remodeling imbalance contributes to osteoporosis. Though current medications enhance osteoblast involvement in bone formation, the underlying pathways remain unclear. This study was aimed to explore the pathways involved in bone formation by osteoblasts, we investigate the protective role of glycolysis and N6-methyladenosine methylation (m6A) against oxidative stress-induced impairment of osteogenesis in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Polymer gels, renowned for unparalleled chemical stability and self-sustaining properties, have garnered significant attention in electrocatalysis. Notably, organic polymer gels that exhibit temperature sensitivity and incorporate suitable polar nonvolatile liquids, enhance electronic conductivity, and impart distinct morphological features, but remain largely unexplored as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To address this issue, an innovative strategy is proposed for synergistic modulation of the rigidity of mainchain molecular skeleton and length of alkyl sidechains, enabling the development of organogel polymers with a sol-gel temperature-sensitive phase transition that promises high selectivity and enhanced activity in electrocatalytic processes.

The characterization of industrial working solutions containing numerous structurally related compounds and isomers requires the use of two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC × LC-HRMS). The separation of alkyl-anthraquinone derivatives produced during hydrogen peroxide production was achieved by coupling a biphenyl and a C18 in the first and second dimensions, combined with the use of continuous shifting gradients in the second dimension (D). The use of shifting gradients offers a significant advantage over regular gradients, with a 20% increase in occupancy and better separation of isomers eluted within the same modulation.

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of central nervous system disorders, and MAO inhibitors have been used in the treatment of depression and Parkinson's disease. In the search for new classes of MAO inhibitors, the present study investigated a series of 1,2,4-oxadiazin-5(6)-one derivatives. This study provides the first optimization of the reaction conditions for the condensation of amidoximes with alkyl 2-halocarboxylates to yield the desired 1,2,4-oxadiazin-5(6)-ones.
