A nickel-catalyzed site-selective tandem cyclization of 1,6-diynes with substituted indolines or indoles through consecutive dual C-H bond activation is described. In the reaction, substituted fused indole and carbazole derivatives were observed in good to excellent yields, in which three consecutive C-C bonds formed in one pot. Later, in the presence of DDQ, the aromatization of the indoline derivative was converted to the indole derivative. A possible reaction mechanism involving dual C-H bond activation as a key step was proposed to account for the present reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • CO hydrogenation has been identified as a more sustainable and efficient alternative to methanol in the side-chain alkylation of 4-methylpyridine (MEPY) using a ZnZrO/CsX tandem catalyst, achieving a conversion rate of 19.6%.
  • This new method results in 82% selectivity for 4-ethylpyridine (ETPY) and demonstrates 6.5 times greater activity compared to traditional methanol-mediated processes.
  • The success of this catalytic process is attributed to the dual functionality of the catalyst components, facilitating both CO hydrogenation and the activation of C-H and C-C bonds, with CHO* species acting as the crucial intermediate.

Proton Transfer Anionic Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate with Ligands for Dual Control of Molecular Weight and Tacticity.

Precis Chem

Dual control of the molecular weight and tacticity in proton transfer anionic polymerization (PTAP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was investigated by using various ligands in the presence of a bulky potassium base catalyst and an organic compound with a weakly acidic C-H bond as dormant species in toluene at 0 °C. The tacticity of the resulting poly(MMA) (PMMA) produced without ligands was nearly atactic (// = 22/54/24). However, the use of 18-crown-6 as a ligand afforded predominantly syndiotactic PMMA ( ≈ 58%), whereas the use of chiral bis(oxazoline) ligands gave slightly isotactic-rich PMMA ( ≈ 32%).

Enhancing fish sludge bioconversion kinetics for nutrient recovery in aquaponics using a modified biological aerated filter with a novel media of polyhedral hollow spheres.

Nutrient recovery from aquaculture sludge is vital for promoting hydroponic plant growth and achieving near-zero solid waste discharge in aquaponic systems. Modified biological aerated filters (MBAFs) are promising because of the dual capabilities of aquaculture sludge collection and aerobic mineralization. However, the bioconversion kinetics, which is indirectly related to the packed media, need to be improved.

Unveiling the Centrosymmetric Effect in the Design of Narrowband Fluorescent Emitters: From Single to Double Difluoroboron Cores.

Narrowband fluorescent emitters are receiving significant attention due to the great potential for creating ultrahigh-definition organic light-emitting diode displays (UHD-OLED). Unveiling innovative mechanisms to design new high-performance narrowband fluorescent emitters is a concerted endeavor in both academic and industrial circles. Theoretical calculations reveal that the centrosymmetric dianilido-bipyridine boron difluoride framework (-DAPBF) exhibits significantly reduced structural relaxation compared to previously reported asymmetric structures with monofluoroboron cores, creating new opportunities for the development of narrowband fluorescent emitters.
