Alkylidene dihydropyridines (ADHPs) are electron-rich nucleophilic intermediates that can be readily prepared by dearomatization of 4-alkylpyridines using chloroformate reagents and mild base. Their stability and reactivity can be tuned with the chloroformate reagent used as evidenced by NMR chemical shifts and oxidation potentials. ADHPs prepared with ethyl, allyl and trichloroethyl chloroformate undergo decomposition under an oxygen atmosphere at different rates (ethyl > allyl > trichloroethyl), predominantly to the corresponding 4-acylpyridine. The ADHPs derived from benzyl chloroformate are stable towards oxidation, and those derived from phenyl chloroformate hydrolyze readily.

Roadmap for Borophene Gas Sensors.

ACS Sens

January 2025

Chimie des Interactions Plasma Surface group, Chemistry Department, Université de Mons, 7000 Mons, Belgium.

Borophene, a two-dimensional allotrope of boron, has emerged as a promising material for gas sensing because of its exceptional electronic properties and high surface reactivity. This review comprehensively overviews borophene synthesis methods, properties, and sensing applications. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the substantial gap between the abundance of theoretical literature and the limited experimental studies.

Electrochemical Reduction of CO to CHOH Catalyzed by an Iron Porphyrinoid.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

School of Chemical Sciences, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, 2A Raja SC Mullick Road, Kolkata, West Bengal 700032, India.

Designing catalysts for the selective reduction of CO, resulting in products having commercial value, is an important area of contemporary research. Several molecular catalysts have been reported to facilitate the reduction of CO (both electrochemical and photochemical) to yield 2e/2H electron-reduced products, CO and HCOOH, and selective reduction of CO beyond 2e/2H is rare. This is partly because the factors that control the selectivity of CO reduction beyond 2e are not yet understood.

Background: Interactions between RNA-binding proteins and RNA regulate RNA transcription during osteoporosis. Ferroptosis, a programmed cell death caused by iron metabolism, plays a vital role in osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms by which RNA-binding proteins are involved in ferroptosis during osteoporosis remain unclear.

Erastin, as an effective ferroptosis inducer, has received extensive attention in anti-tumor research. To develop an oral nanocarrier for high efficient loading hydrophobic erastin, here we prepared a fluoro-liposome (FA-3 F-LS) by the self-assembly of the folic acid modified fluorinated amphiphiles-FA-3 F conjugates. The hydrophobic component of three perfluorooctyl chains endows the FA-3 F-LSs with high stability to resist the harsh gastrointestinal tract condition.

Effect of catalase on CPC production during fermentation of Acremonium chrysogenum.

Bioresour Bioprocess

January 2025

Qingdao Innovation Institute of East China University of Science and Technology, State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, 130 Meilong Road, Shanghai, 200237, People's Republic of China.

Cephalosporin C (CPC) is a critical raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics produced by Acremonium chrysogenum. During fermentation, the oxygen supply is a crucial factor limiting the efficient biosynthesis of CPC. This study demonstrated that the addition of exogenous surfactants significantly increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) level, extracellular catalase content, and final CPC titer.
