Published: January 2025

The chiral compounds may be biomarker candidates in human metabolism, which indicates the health status of humans. There are many applications in LC/MS that show that chiral small molecules are promising biomarkers for human diseases. Both clinical and commercial analyses of chiral metabolites are necessary due to the enantiomeric ratios of chiral molecules in biological samples may show both human health status and diseases. This review provides current and advanced LC/MS techniques for the separation and analysis of chiral molecules as disease biomarkers. In particular, sample preparation and chromatographic analysis of potential chiral biomarkers in biological samples are presented. The preparation and applications of several chiral columns used in enantiomeric separation of chiral metabolites/biomarkers by advanced LC/MS techniques are discussed. The improvement of these analyses will enable both the discovery of new chiral biomarkers and the prognosis of human diseases.

Base-Promoted [4 + 1 + 1] Multicomponent Tandem Cycloaddition of -Substituted Nitroarenes, Aldehydes, and Ammonium Salts To Access 2,4-Substituted Quinazoline Frameworks.

We report a base-promoted, metal-free multicomponent tandem reaction, involving a [4 + 1 + 1] cycloaddition process between -substituted nitroarenes, aldehydes, and ammonium salts. Modifying the substituents on the nitroaromatic compounds effectively provides structurally diverse 2-substituted and 4-alkenylquinazolines with good to excellent yields (77%-90% and quinazoline 51 examples) and high tolerance for various inorganic ammonium salts (13 examples, such as NH·HO, NHCl, and NHHF). A new method for constructing 2,4-substituted quinazoline compounds with high selectivity from simple nitrogen source compounds was developed, and the reaction can be scaled up to a gram scale.

Enantioselective Heck/Tsuji-Trost reaction of flexible vinylic halides with 1,3-dienes.

The enantioselective domino Heck/cross-coupling has emerged as a powerful tool in modern chemical synthesis for decades. Despite significant progress in relative rigid skeleton substrates, the implementation of asymmetric Heck/cross-coupling cascades of highly flexible haloalkene substrates remains a challenging and and long-standing goal. Here we report an efficient asymmetric domino Heck/Tsuji-Trost reaction of highly flexible vinylic halides with 1,3-dienes enabled by palladium catalysis.

ConspectusChiral organosilicon compounds bearing a Si-stereogenic center have attracted increasing attention in various scientific communities and appear to be a topic of high current relevance in modern organic chemistry, given their versatile utility as chiral building blocks, chiral reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and chiral catalysts. Historically, access to these non-natural Si-stereogenic silanes mainly relies on resolution, whereas their asymmetric synthetic methods dramatically lagged compared to their carbon counterparts. Over the past two decades, transition-metal-catalyzed desymmetrization of prochiral organosilanes has emerged as an effective tool for the synthesis of enantioenriched Si-stereogenic silanes.

Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) and Localized Surface Plasmon Resonances (LSPRs) are fundamental phenomena in plasmonics that enable the confinement of electromagnetic waves beyond the diffraction limit. This confinement results in a significant enhancement of the electric field, making this phenomenon particularly beneficial for sensitive detection applications. However, conventional plasmonic sensors face several challenges, notably their difficulty in distinguishing chiral molecules, which are vital in drug development.

Two decades of imaging photoelectron circular dichroism: from first principles to future perspectives.

There has been a significant recent surge in the number of studies interrogating chiral molecules in the gas phase using photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) and related techniques. These investigations have revealed new fundamental insights into the structure and dynamics of chiral species and, furthermore, have the potential to revolutionize the field of chiral analysis for more practical and industrial applications. As it has been just over 20 years since the first PECD imaging experiments were demonstrated - and 10 years since the last dedicated general perspective article on the topic - a new overview now seems extremely timely.
