Boron- and nitrogen-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (B-PAHs) have established a strong foothold in the realm of organic electronics. However, their catalytic potential remains largely untapped. In this study, we synthesise and characterise two bench stable B,N-doped PAH derivatives based on a 1,4-azaborinine motif. Most importantly, the anthracene derived structure is an efficient catalyst in the reduction of various carbonyls and imines. These results underscore the potential of B,N-PAHs in catalytic transformations, setting the stage for deeper exploration in this chemical space.

Given the widespread presence of fluoroalkyl functionalities in bioactive molecules, the development of fluoroalkylation reactions with bench-stable and easy-to-use fluoroalkylating reagents is highly desirable. In addition, realization of mono-, di-, tri-, or polyfluoroalkyation usually requires distinct types of fluoroalkylating reagents under different or even harsh reaction conditions, and a universal method to accomplish different hydrofluoroalkylation of alkenes is lacking. Herein, the use of quaternary fluoroalkyl alcohols is reported as the universal fluoroalkylating reagents to readily facilitate mono-, di-, tri-, or polyfluoroalkylation of a wide range of alkene substrates in high yields.

Reported herein is a convenient and efficient method for one-pot, catalytic reductive amination, as well as the first multi-component tandem reductive amination-functionalization of bench-stable and readily available common carboxylic esters. This method is based on the cationic [Ir(COD)]BArF-catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation of esters, followed by one-pot acid-mediated amination and nucleophilic addition. The reaction was conducted under mild conditions at a very low catalyst loading (0.

A general and practical route to the synthesis of β-keto amino acid derivatives from aldehydes and bench stable imine surrogates is presented. Following the interrupted Polonovski strategy, the imine formed in situ was trapped by the catalytically generated Breslow intermediate in an aza benzoin reaction. The present strategy has been extended to the formal synthesis of florfenicol and an intermediate en route to vancomycin.

Natural bodybuilding competitions involve periods of low energy availability (EA) combined with resistance training and high-protein diets to achieve extreme leanness. This study tracked a drug-free bodybuilder adopting evidence-based nutrition practices during 18 weeks of contest preparation. We measured endocrine function, resting energy expenditure, respiratory exchange ratio, body composition, resting heart rate, oral temperature, mood, and strength performance.

In vehicle suspension, it is important to achieve continuous height adjustment to reduce the possibility of unstable and off-tracking caused by uneven postures. It is usually solved by air suspension, in which the dynamic properties will change under the adjusting process and these changes are not conducive to control. Considering the above, in this paper a double-gas-chamber hydro-pneumatic strut (DHPS) with the constant and/or predicted stiffness during continuous height adjustment, as masses (oil and gas) conversation are guaranteed in the whole system, which is achieved by volume variation of auxiliary gas chamber through motor-driving piston, is proposed.
