An efficient and operationally simple method for the synthesis of β-keto sulfones through the BF·OEt-promoted reaction of alkynes and sodium sulfinates is developed. With its facile and selective access to the targets, it features good functional group compatibility, mild conditions, easily available starting materials, and good yields. Notably, the reaction does not require metal catalysts or chemical reagents with pungent odors.

Continuous flow synthesis of alkynes from isoxazolones.

The development of a continuous flow approach for the generation of alkynes from isoxazolones under diazotisation conditions is reported. The underlying transformation has been known for several decades; however, in batch mode, it is plagued by variable yields, excessive use of sodium nitrite and limited scalability due to its exothermic nature and the release of copious amounts of toxic nitroxide gases. The presented flow approach overcomes these limitations and delivers various alkyne products in residence times of less than 1 minute with productivities of 2 g h.

Diazidodifluoromethane was prepared from dibromodifluoromethane, sodium azide and an alkanethiolate initiator. It represents the first example of a diazidomethane that is stable enough to be used in synthesis. The stability of (poly)azidomethanes was explored with calculations.

The enzyme IspE in is considered an attractive drug target, as it is essential for parasite survival and is absent in the human proteome. Yet it still has not been addressed by a small-molecule inhibitor. In this study, we conducted a high-throughput screening campaign against the IspE enzyme.

In this study, we developed ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensors using Ag-Au alloy nanoflowers as SERS substrates, molecules having amide bonds and alkyne groups (Tag A) as Raman reporters, and sodium thiocyanate as an internal standard molecule (Tag B) for the sensitive detection of human carboxylesterase-1 (hCE1) in HepG-2 cells. The correlation between HepG-2 cell damage and hCE1 activity levels was investigated. Both Tag A's alkyne group and Tag B's cyanide group produced characteristic SERS signals in the Raman-silent region ( and , respectively).

Article Synopsis
- A novel nanocatalyst called UiO-66/Sal-ZnCl has been created and thoroughly analyzed using various techniques like FT-IR, XRD, and TEM to confirm the coordination of zinc chloride with UiO-66.
- The catalyst was tested in a one-pot click reaction that involves terminal alkynes, alkyl halides, and sodium azide in water, resulting in high yields and excellent regioselectivity.
- This nanocatalyst stands out due to its effectiveness, ability to be reused, easy product recovery, and its use of environmentally friendly solvents, making it promising for various chemical reactions.
