1,3-Diamine-derived catalysts were designed, synthesized, and used in asymmetric Mannich reactions of ketones. The reactions catalyzed by one of the 1,3-diamine derivatives in the presence of acids afforded the Mannich products with high enantioselectivities under mild conditions. In most cases, bond formation occurred at the less-substituted α-position of the ketone carbonyl group. Our results indicate that the primary and the tertiary amines of the 1,3-diamine derivative cooperatively act for the catalysis.

The global changes from 2001 that elevated substantially modified cell therapies to the definition of "medicinal product" have been the catalyst for the dramatic expansion of the field to its current and future commercial success. Europe was the first to incorporate human somatic cells into drug legislation with the medicines directive of 2001 (2001/83/EC), which led to the development of the term "advanced therapy medicinal products" (ATMPs) to cover all substantially modified products, tissue-engineered products and somatic cells that are not substantially modified but that are used non-homologously. For convenience, I use the term "ATMPs" throughout this review.

Boron compounds are widely employed in organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Among them, borylated heterocycles serve as versatile synthons for the construction of new C-C or C-heteroatom bonds via coupling or radical processes. Such methods for direct C-H borylation reactions are of high synthetic value to reduce the number of synthetic steps and the amount of waste and to improve efficiency.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS), have emerged as a generation of nonprecious catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), largely due to their theoretical hydrogen adsorption energy close to that of platinum. However, efforts to activate the basal planes of TMDs have primarily centered around strategies such as introducing numerous atomic vacancies, creating vacancy-heteroatom complexes, or applying significant strain, especially for acidic media. These approaches, while potentially effective, present substantial challenges in practical large-scale deployment.

Nitrogen fixation is essential for the sustainable development of both human society and the environment. Due to the chemical inertness of the N≡N bond, the traditional Haber-Bosch process operates under extreme conditions, making nitrogen fixation under ambient conditions highly desirable but challenging. In this study, we present an ultrasonic atomizing microdroplet method that achieves nitrogen fixation using water and air under ambient conditions in a rationally designed sealed device, without the need for any catalyst.

Understanding and effectively controlling molecular conformational changes are essential for developing responsive and dynamic molecular systems. Here, we report that an oriented external electric field (OEEF) is an effective catalyst for the cis-trans isomerization of stiff-stilbene, a key component of overcrowded alkene-based rotary motors. This reversible isomerization occurs under ambient conditions, is free from side reactions, and has been verified using ultraperformance liquid chromatography and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy.
