Simple α-fluorobenzyl anions reacted with electrophiles such as non-activated alkyl halides and chlorotrimethylsilane. Upon treatment with LTMP as the base, fluoromethylbenzenes took part in the formation of α-monofluorobenzyl anions without stabilizing -substituents. Furthermore, the resulting α-silyl fluoromethylbenzenes reacted with electrophiles such as acetophenone and benzaldehyde in the presence of cesium fluoride to form α-fluorobenzylated alcohols.

Covalent labeling of RNA in living cells poses many challenges. Here we describe a structure-guided approach to engineer covalent RNA aptamer-ligand complexes. The key is to modify the cognate ligand with an electrophilic handle that allows it to react with a guanine at the RNA binding site.

Article Synopsis
- A cationic N-heterocyclic phosphenium iron tetracarbonyl complex was synthesized and its reactivity with various anionic reactants was investigated, resulting in different products depending on the anion involved.
- Reactions with fluoride and chloride produced neutral diazaphospholenes, while bromide and iodide led to NHP iron halides through metal addition and decarbonylation.
- At room temperature, the cationic complex primarily reduced to form a detectable Fe-centered radical, whereas at -78 °C, CH-metalation was favored, further evidenced by the characterization of a neutral borane-adduct.
- The complex’s reactivity variations are attributed to its higher electrophilicity compared to neutral complexes

Chlorine (Cl) and chlorine dioxide (ClO) are commonly used to disinfect water but unfavorable interactions with dissolved organic matter (DOM) result in the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). This study investigated the formation of organic DBPs arising from Cl and ClO disinfections under different contact times in two surface waters in Thailand and Suwannee River natural organic matter with/without bromide using unknown screening analysis with Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Many CHOCl-DBPs and CHOBr-DBPs intermediates were rapidly formed during the initial period of contact (5-30 min).

Unsymmetric disulfides are prevalent in natural products and are essential in medicinal chemistry and materials science, but their robust synthesis poses significant challenges. In this paper, we report an expeditous transition-metal-free methodology for synthesizing unsymmetric disulfides through the addition of perthiyl radicals to alkenes. This study marks the use of generating perthiyl radicals by reacting SO with unactivated alkyl (pseudo)halides (Cl/Br/I/OTs).

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential for the health of aquatic ecosystems, supporting biogeochemical cycles and the decomposition of organic matter. However, continuous untreated external inputs from illicit discharges or sewer overflows, coupled with inadequate ecological base flow, have led to widespread river deoxygenation and serious ecological crises. This study demonstrates that chlorinated wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent can significantly enhance DO levels in downstream rivers, particularly in areas with high pollution loads or poor ecological base flow.
