The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral phthalides has garnered considerable interest. However, the construction of phthalides with a chiral quaternary carbon stereocenter still remains challenging. In this study, we developed a new strategy toward catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral 3,3-disubstituted phthalides via a dirhodium(II)/phosphine-catalyzed carbonyl addition cascade, yielding phthalides with up to 97% ee values. The reaction proceeded through dirhodium(II)/phosphine-catalyzed asymmetric carbonyl addition of arylboronic acids to isoquinoline-1,3,4(2)-triones, followed by base-mediated ring contraction.

Introduction: Chronic alcohol consumption and tobacco usage are major risk factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Excessive tobacco and alcohol consumption lead to oxidative stress and the generation of reactive carbonyl species (RCS) which induce DNA damage and cell apoptosis. This phenomenon contributes to cell damage and carcinogenesis in various organs including ESCC.

Invasive surgical methods are the current standard for hemostasis and wound closure. In recent years, injectable hydrogels prepared from natural biomacromolecules have shown promise as tissue adhesives to overcome their shortcomings due to their high hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, but the inherent properties of unmodified biomolecules remain a major challenge in their application. In this paper, a hydrogel (DS/Gel-CDH) with self-healing, injectable and adhesive functions was constructed by Schiff base crosslinking between carbonyl hydrazide modified gelatin (Gel-CDH) and dialdehyde starch (DS).

Activated alumina-based composite oxide support is a commonly used support in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts, which not only retains the performance advantages of each component in the composite oxide support, but also significantly improves the defects of a single activated alumina support, such as the strong metal-support force of interaction. In this study, NiO-AlO composite support was prepared by introducing NiO-modified AlO, and MoS/NiO-AlO catalysts were prepared for the hydrodesulfurization of COS by liquid phase reduction method. In the COS hydrogenation reaction, the MoS/NiO-AlO catalyst achieved complete conversion of COS at 220 °C and showed more than 99.

We have developed a novel protocol for carbonylative homocoupling of arylboronic acids using dithiocarbamate esters as the carbonyl alternative. A series of arylboronic acids underwent smooth reaction with dithiocarbamate ester (MeNCSMe) in the presence of Pd(PPh)Cl catalyst, Cu(OAc)·HO additive, and NaCO in DCE solvent, producing the biaryl ketones efficiently. The mechanism has been studied with the help of several control experiments that reveal the probability of thioamide intermediacy.

Gold is classified as a heavy metal, and its ion (Au) can manifest adverse impacts on ecological and human health. Thus, an effective method for Au detection is highly required. In this work, a new [5]helicene-based fluorescence sensor (M202P) was synthesized and applied for Au monitoring in near-perfect aqueous media.
