Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of some novel [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-β][1,2,4]triazole nucleoside analogs

Ribosylation of 3-amino-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 1 ) with l-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose and stannic chloride resulted in the following protected nucleoside analogs: 3-amino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-β][1,2,4]triazole ( 4 ), 3-amino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-β][1,2,4]triazole ( 5 ), 3-amino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-β][1,2,4]triazole ( 5 ), and 3-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl) amino-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]-[1,2,4]triazole ( 7 ). Compounds 4–6 were deprotected to 3-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]-triazole ( 3 ), 3-amino-1-α-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,5-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 8 ), and 3-imino-2H-2-β-D-ribo-furanosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 9 ), while 7 could not be deprotected without decomposition. Compounds 1, 4, 6, 7 , and 9 were screened and found to have no antiviral activity.     

Regioselective Synthesis of Polycyclic and Heptagon-embedded Aromatic Compounds through a Versatile π-Extension of Aryl Halides

A versatile π-extension reaction was developed based on the three-component cross-coupling of aryl halides, 2-haloarylcarboxylic acids, and norbornadiene. The transformation is driven by the direction and subsequent decarboxylation of the carboxyl group, while norbornadiene serves as an ortho-C−H activator and ethylene synthon via a retro-Diels–Alder reaction. Comprehensive DFT calculations were performed to account for the catalytic intermediates.     

关于平衡态热力学常见过程的定义

平衡态热力学中的等温过程是系统始态与终态温度相等且等于环境恒定温度的过程;等压过程是系统始态与终态压力相等且等于环境恒定压力的过程;等容过程是系统体积恒定不变的过程。称"系统和环境的温度(或压力)相等并恒定不变的过程为等温(或等压)过程"的说法是不全面的。     

Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Dehydrogenative Functionalization of C(sp2)H Bonds

The catalytic cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has received intense attention in recent years. The attractive feature of this coupling process is the formation of a C? C bond from two C? H moieties under oxidative conditions. In this Focus Review, recent advances in the palladium‐catalyzed CDC reactions of C(sp²)? H bond are summarized, with a focus on the period from 2011 to early 2013.

A Small-Molecule AIE Chromosome Periphery Probe for Cytogenetic Studies

The chromosome periphery (CP) is a complex network that covers the outer surface of chromosomes. It acts as a carrier of nucleolar components, helps maintain chromosome structure, and plays an important role in mitosis. Current methods for fluorescence imaging of CP largely rely on immunostaining. We herein report a small-molecule fluorescent probe, ID-IQ , which possesses aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property, for CP imaging. By labelling the CP, ID-IQ sharply highlighted the chromosome boundaries, which enabled rapid segmentation of touching and overlapping chromosomes, direct identification of the centromere, and clear visualization of chromosome morphology. ID-IQ staining was also compatible with fluorescence in situ hybridization and could assist the precise location of the gene in designated chromosome. Altogether, this study provides a versatile cytogenetic tool for improved chromosome analysis, which greatly benefits the clinical diagnostic testing and genomic research.     

A general,efficient, and inexpensive catalyst system for the coupling of aryl iodides and thiols

An efficient copper-catalyzed carbon-sulfur bond formation reaction was developed. This method is particularly noteworthy given its experimental simplicity, high generality, and exceptional level of functional group toleration and the low cost of the catalyst system. [reaction: see text]     

Oscillation and nonoscillation of Hill's equation with periodic damping
