The selective synthesis of 4-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione in THF and water-dependent switchable product ketothioamide is demonstrated. The presented method describes explicitly the synthesis of the extremely rare positional isomer 4-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, a unique structure distinct from another positional isomer, 5-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione. The unique umpolung of the nitromethyl group is exploited for solvent-selective nucleophilic sulfur and amine addition. The dual role of the -CBr moiety in the substrate as both a synthetic equivalent and an eliminating group is demonstrated.

We present a mild and direct method for the radical borylation of simple aliphatic aldehydes. By employing an enamine and a photocatalyst under light irradiation, aldehydes can be transformed effectively into alkyl boronic esters via a formal decarbonylative process. This alternative route for radical borylation synthesis can not only be applied to the transformation of primary, secondary, and tertiary aldehydes but also be adapted to other radical conversion reactions through the generated alkyl radical intermediate.

4-alkyl-branched chain fatty acids (vBCFAs) are key flavor-impact compounds in mutton and its derived products. Pediococcus acidilactici and Rhizopus oryzae were applied to ferment mutton sausages, and GC-MS/SIM and metatranscriptomics were employed to investigate the effects of different fermentation strategies on the quality of mutton sausages and the metabolism of 4-methyloctanoic acid (4-MOA) and 4-ethyloctanoic acid (4-EOA). The results demonstrated that inoculation with the mixed starter cultures exhibited lower pH, thiobarbituric acid, and peroxide values.

The synthetic approach based on a sequence of Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling and annulation through intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation has been used for the construction of novel 4-alkyl-4-thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,3-]quinoxaline derivatives. For the first time, these polycyclic compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity, including extensively drug-resistant strains. A reasonable bacteriostatic effect against HRv was demonstrated.

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of innate T cells displaying powerful immunomodulatory functions. Despite extensive preclinical research on the use of iNKT agonist and antagonist for various diseases, translating these findings into successful clinical applications has proven challenging, leaving no approved treatments to date. Efforts to optimize therapeutic outcomes by developing alternative glycolipids to α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer or KRN7000), the prototypical iNKT antigen, have shown improved preclinical results.
