The development of new antibiotics with unique mechanisms of action is paramount to combating the growing threat of antibiotic resistance. Recently, based on inspiration from natural products, an asymmetrical polyacetylene core structure was examined for its bioactivity and found to have differential specificity for different bacterial species based on the substituents around the conjugated alkyne. This research further probes the structural requirements for bioactivity through a systematic synthesis and investigation of new compounds with variable carbon chain length, alkynyl subunits, and alcohol substitution.

Leveille is a traditional medicine used to treat migraine headache and dysmenorrhea. In this study, three polyacetylenes, methyl (10,9,16)-16-acetoxy-9-hydroxyoctadeca-10,17-dien-12,14-diynoate (), methyl (10,9,16)-9,16-dihydroxyoctadeca-10-en-12,14-diynoate (), and methyl (10,9,16)-9,16-dihydroxyoctadeca-10,17-dien-12,14-diynoate (), were isolated from the aerial parts of . , together with seven known compounds (-).

(E)-2-Hexenal (E2H) is an important volatile organic compound (VOC) that can serve as a marker for fruit quality sensing and shelf-life evaluation. However, visual and portable sensors for E2H have not been reported mainly because of the difficulty in selective response to E2H while avoiding interference from other VOC, especially isomers. Herein, we developed a novel colorimetric sensor based on thiol-functionalized polydiacetylene assembly (PDA-SH/PDA) for the quantitative and selectivity of E2H.

A terphenyl diyne (TPDY) macrocycle, 3,5-TPDY, has been developed incorporating a bent 1,3-diyne that is active in SPAAC processes affording atropoisomeric triazole products, as well as cycloadditions with diazoacetates and tetrazines. A pendant amine allowed bioconjugation of TPDY to two proteins in a microbial transglutaminase-catalyzed reaction. In contrast to many cycloalkyne SPAAC reagents, the TPDY stabilization occurs interactions of π and π* orbitals of the adjacent alkynes.

The ethynylation of formaldehyde catalyzed by Cu-based catalysts is an important synthesis method for 1,4-butynediol relating to high-value-added chemicals. In this work, a series of CuM/SiO (M = Bi, Mg, Mn) catalysts were prepared by a deposition-precipitation method and applied in the ethynylation reaction. The effects of different promoters (Bi, Mg, Mn) on the catalytic activity were investigated.
