A One‐Step Route to CO2‐Based Block Copolymers by Simultaneous ROCOP of CO2/Epoxides and RAFT Polymerization of Vinyl Monomers

The one‐step synthesis of well‐defined CO₂‐based diblock copolymers was achieved by simultaneous ring‐opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of CO₂/epoxides and RAFT polymerization of vinyl monomers using a trithiocarbonate compound bearing a carboxylic group (TTC‐COOH) as the bifunctional chain transfer agent (CTA). The double chain‐transfer effect allows for independent and precise control over the molecular weight of the two blocks and ensures narrow polydispersities of the resultant block copolymers (1.09–1.14). Notably, an unusual axial group exchange reaction between the aluminum porphyrin catalyst and TTC‐COOH impedes the formation of homopolycarbonates. By taking advantage of the RAFT technique, it is able to meet the stringent demand for functionality control to well expand the application scopes of CO₂‐based polycarbonates.     

Highly Enantioselective Tandem Michael Addition of Tryptamine‐Derived Oxindoles to Alkynones: Concise Synthesis of Strychnos Alkaloids

A highly enantioselective tandem Michael addition of tryptamine‐derived oxindoles to alkynones was developed by taking advantage of a chiral N,N′‐dioxide Sc(OTf)₃ catalyst. The reaction enables the facile preparation of enantioenriched spiro[pyrrolidine‐3,3′‐oxindole] compounds, which provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. As a demonstration, the asymmetric synthesis of strychnos alkaloids [(?)‐tubifoline, (?)‐tubifolidine, (?)‐dehydrotubifoline] was achieved in 10–11 steps.     

Transient and Persistent Room‐Temperature Mechanoluminescence from a White‐Light‐Emitting AIEgen with Tricolor Emission Switching Triggered by Light

Persistent luminescence from purely organic materials is basically triggered by light and electricity, which largely confines its practical applications. A purely organic AIEgen exhibits not only persistent photoluminescence, but also transient and persistent room‐temperature mechanoluminescence. By simply turning on and off a UV lamp, tricolor emission switching between blue, white, and yellow was achieved. The data from single‐crystal structure analysis and theoretical calculation suggest that mechanism of the observed persistent mechanoluminescence (pML) is correlated with the strong spin–orbit coupling of the bromine atom, as well as the formation of H‐aggregates and restriction of intramolecular motions in noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. These results outline a fundamental principle for the development of new pML materials, providing an important step forward in expanding the application scope of persistent luminescence.     

A Two‐Photon H2O2‐Activated CO Photoreleaser

Carbon monoxide (CO) is proposed as an active pharmaceutical agent with promising pharmaceutical prospects, as it has been involved in multifaceted modulation of diverse physiological and pathological processes. However, questions remain for therapeutic application of inhaled CO attributed to the inherent great affinity between CO and hemoglobin. Therefore, a robust platform with the function of CO transport and controllable release, depending on the local status of an organism, is of prominent significance for effectively avoiding the side effects of CO inhalation and optimizing the biological regulation function of CO. Utilizing the oxidative stress biomarker H₂O₂ as a trigger and combining with photo‐control, a two‐photon H₂O₂‐activated CO photoreleaser, FB, featuring highly sensitive and specific H₂O₂ sensing and photocontrollable CO release, was developed and the vasodilation effect of CO against angiotensin II was demonstrated.     

Stress‐Transfer‐Induced In Situ Formation of Ultrathin Nickel Phosphide Nanosheets for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution

Ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D) nanostructures have attracted increasing research interest for energy storage and conversion. However, tackling the key problem of lattice mismatch inducing the instability of ulreathin nanostructures during phase transformations is still a critical challenge. Herein, we describe a facile and scalable strategy for the growth of ultrathin nickel phosphide (Ni₂P) nanosheets (NSs) with exposed (001) facets. We show that single‐layer functionalized graphene with residual oxygen‐containing groups and a large lateral size contributes to reducing the lattice strain during phosphorization. The resulting nanostructure exhibits remarkable hydrogen evolution activity and good stability under alkaline conditions.     

A Re2O7 catalyzed cycloetherification of monoallylic diols

A Re₂O₇ catalyzed cycloetherification of monoallylic diols is described. The reaction features short reaction time, mild reaction conditions and exclusive E selectivity. A wide range of monoallylic alcohols with alkyl or aryl substituents on olefin smoothly undergo ring closure to deliver corresponding oxa-heterocycles. The reaction is also operationally simple and not sensitive to air and moisture.     

Synthesis and properties of novel stilbene-twelve alkyl quaternary ammonium salts as antibacterial optical whitening agents

Four novel stilbene-twelve alkyl quaternary ammonium salts 5a–d were synthesized. All synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H-NMR and elemental analysis. Compounds 5a–d showed efficient whitening effect on cotton fiber and high fastness. Furthermore, compound 5c showed better stability to light than C186 in aqueous solution. The preliminary biological experiment demonstrated compounds 5a–d possessed significant antibacterial activities. Among them, compound 5d turned out to be the most active compound against Candida albicans with MIC₅₀ 4 μg/mL as well as E. coli with MIC₅₀ 16 μg/mL.     

Determination of Enantiomeric Purity of GSK962040 Based on Liquid Chromatography Using Chiral Stationary Phase Combined with a Pre-column Derivatization Procedure

A sensitive and accurate LC method was developed and further validated for the determination of enantiomeric purity of GSK962040. Before separation, a pre-column derivatization procedure was performed. Baseline separation with a resolution higher than 1.9 was accomplished within 15 min using a Chiralpak AD-H (250 × 4.6 mm; particle size 5 μm) column, with n-hexane: 2-propanol (85:15 v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL min^?1. The eluted analytes were subsequently detected with a UV detector at 260 nm. The effects of mobile phase components and temperature on enantiomeric selectivity as well as resolution of enantiomers were thoroughly investigated. The calibration curves were plotted within the concentration range between 4 and 200 μg mL^?1 (n = 8), and recoveries between 98.15 and 101.48% were obtained, with relative standard deviation (RSD) lower than 1.42%. The LOD and LOQ for the Boc-GSK962040 were 1.23 and 4.15 μg mL^?1 and for its enantiomer were 1.38 and 4.76 μg mL^?1, respectively. The developed method was also evaluated and validated by analyzing bulk samples with different enantiomeric ratios of GSK962040. It was demonstrated that the method was accurate, robust and sensitive, and also had practical utilities for real analysis.
