Published: September 2023

Azetidine is a prevalent structural motif found in various biologically active compounds. In this research paper, we report La(OTf)-catalyzed intramolecular regioselective aminolysis of -3,4-epoxy amines to afford azetidines. This reaction proceeded in high yields even in the presence of acid-sensitive and Lewis basic functional groups.

A protocol for the investigation of the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution problem: the isomerization of nitrous acid as a case of study.

Phys Chem Chem Phys

The conformational isomerization of nitrous acid (HONO) promoted by excitation of the or stretching normal coordinates is the first observed case of an infrared-induced photochemical reaction. The energy captured by the excited normal modes is redistributed into a highly excited vibrational level of the torsion normal coordinate, which is the isomerization reaction coordinate. Herein, we present simple numerical methods to qualitatively investigate the coupling between the normal coordinates and the possible gateways for vibrational energy redistribution leading to the isomerization process.

Intracellular viscosity is a critical microenvironmental factor in various biological systems, and its abnormal increase is closely linked to the progression of many diseases. Therefore, precisely controlling the release of bioactive molecules in high-viscosity regions is vital for understanding disease mechanisms and advancing their diagnosis and treatment. However, viscosity alone cannot directly trigger chemical reactions.

The aggregation of α-synuclein is crucial to the development of Lewy body diseases, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. The aggregation pathway of α-synuclein typically involves a defined sequence of nucleation, elongation, and secondary nucleation, exhibiting prion-like spreading. This study employed Raman spectroscopy and machine learning analysis, alongside complementary techniques, to characterize the biomolecular changes during the fibrillation of purified recombinant wild-type α-synuclein protein.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are essential organelles used to store lipids and participate in cellular lipid metabolism. Imaging LDs is an intuitive approach to comprehend their biological functions. Herein, the LDs-targeted CDs (LD-CDs) featuring robust solvatochromic emission were elaborately designed by a Schiff base reaction using 1, 2-diamino-4-fluorobenzene, 3-dimethylaminophenol, and thiourea as precursors.

The Lanthanide Contraction: What is an Abnormal and Why?

Inorg Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G2, Canada.

The lanthanide contraction is a widely known phenomenon in which the ionic radii of the Ln ions decrease across the series from La to Lu. As a result, the distance (Ln-Y), where Y is a ligand donor atom, decreases across the series. As shown previously, the decrease normally has a linear dependence on the number of 4f Ln electrons, , and the net change, Δ', is between 0.
