A new class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons--oligoindenopyrenes--has been synthesized featuring a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Heck coupling cascade. The oligoindenopyrenes are robust, highly colored substructures of C(70) and have properties that might prove useful in new organic materials or devices. After excitation, the tetraindenopyrene derivative 3d undergoes efficient deactivation (99%) by internal conversion to the ground state. The small fluorescence quantum yield (0.004) is in accordance with the short (0.6 ns) fluorescence decay time.

Yaretol is a polycyclic norditerpene constituting a structurally distinct class of terpene natural products isolated from which, to date, has not been accessed via total synthesis. Herein, we report our synthetic efforts toward a key intramolecular Diels-Alder furan (IMDAF) cycloaddition to construct the carbon framework. We discuss our efforts toward the cycloaddition wherein undesired aromatization and unanticipated rearrangement of the cycloadduct are observed.

Environmental xenobiotics comprising a wide array of natural and synthetic chemicals are an escalating global health concern due to their persistent presence in ecosystems and their profound impact on human liver health. The liver, as the body's principal detoxification organ, is especially vulnerable to these substances, which are commonly encountered through ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure. This review systematically categorizes key classes of environmental xenobiotics, including aflatoxins, alcohol, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, heavy metals, bisphenol A (BPA), aristolochic acids, cyanotoxins, and nitrosamines, based on their sources and chemical properties.

Pradimicins are a class of angular polycyclic compounds characterized by a benzo[α]naphthacenequinone core substituted with a d-amino acid and a hexose sugar. Since their discovery in 1988, approximately 51 pradimicin analogs have been identified from natural sources. These compounds are biosynthesized by type II polyketide synthases and exhibit a wide range of biological activities.
