Getting a molecular grip on the half-lives of iminothioindoxyl photoswitches Chem. Sci. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-26 Melody E. Boëtius, Mark W. H.

Visible-light-operated photoswitches are of growing interest in reversibly controlling molecular processes, enabling for example the precise spatiotemporal focusing of drug activity and manipulating the properties of materials. Therefore, many research efforts have been spent on seeking control over the (photo)physical properties of photoswitches, in particular the absorption maxima and the half-life

Intermolecular radical oxyalkylation of arynes with alkenes and TEMPO Chem. Sci. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-26 Debkanta Bhattacharya, Maximilian Scherübl, Constantin Gabriel Daniliuc, Armido Studer
Radical transformations with arynes is an underexplored research field and only a few examples have been disclosed. In this research article, the implementation of arynes in three-component reactions with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl) and activated alkenes is demonstrated. TEMPO is added to arynes, which triggers a Meerwein-type arylation cascade where the final alkyl radial is eventually

Triborane (B3H7)-Mediated Regioselective Substitution Reactions of Pyridine Derivatives Chem. Sci. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-26 Zi-Heng Fan, Jia-Xin Kang, Si-Han Jia, Qiao-Jing Pan, Lei Cao, Xi-Meng Chen, Cong-Qiao Xu, Yan-Na Ma, Xuenian Chen
The interplay between borane and the Lewis base exists in their adducts. However, the studies on these adducts so far mainly focus on the different reactions of the B-H bonds and little attention to the influence of borane on the chemistry of the Lewis base, except for BF3 and BAr3. Herein, we have synthesized novel borane adducts with pyridine derivatives, Py∙B3H7, in which the coordination of B3H7

Synthesis of Polyurethanes Through the Oxidative Decarboxylation of Oxamic Acids: a New Gateway Toward Self-blown foams Chem. Sci. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-25 Quentin Jaussaud, Ikechukwu Martin Ogbu, Govind Goroba Pawar, Etienne Grau, Frédéric Robert, T. Vidil, Yannick Landais, H. Cramail
Polyurethane (PU) thermoplastics and thermosets were prepared through the step-growth polymerization of in situ generated polyisocyanates through the decarboxylation of polyoxamic acids, in the presence of phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA), and polyols. The CO2 produced during the reaction allowed the access to self-blown polyurethane foams through an endogenous chemical blowing. The acetic acid released

[NiFe] hydrogenases catalyze the reversible cleavage of molecular hydrogen into protons and electrons. Here, we have studied the impact of temperature and illumination on an oxygen‐tolerant and thermostable [NiFe] hydrogenase by IR and EPR spectroscopy. Equilibrium mixtures of two catalytic [NiFe] states, Nia‐C and Nia‐SR’’, were found to drastically change with temperature, indicating a thermal exchange
