Article Abstract
HPLC-MS and (1)H, (13)C, and 2D NMR analyses were used to identify new addition products between 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and o-quinones derived from (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, and caftaric acid. The kinetics of formation of these adducts were monitored in a wine model solution and in a must-like medium by HPLC-UV-MS with the aim of understanding the chemical mechanism involved in reactions between volatile thiols and o-quinones. One o-quinone-caftaric acid/3SH adduct, three o-quinone-(+)-catechin/3SH adducts, and three o-quinone-(-)-epicatechin/3SH adducts were characterized. Caftaric acid was oxidized faster than (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin when these phenolic compounds were incubated in a one-component mixture with polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in the presence of 3SH. Consequently, o-quinone-caftaric acid formed adducts with 3SH more rapidly than o-quinone-(+)-catechin and o-quinone-(-)-epicatechin in the absence of other nucleophilic species. Furthermore, o-quinone-(-)-epicatechin reacted faster than o-quinone-(+)-catechin with 3SH. Sulfur dioxide decreased the yield of adduct formation to a significant extent. Under chemical oxidation conditions, the rates and yields of adduct formation were lower than those observed in the presence of PPO, and o-quinone-caftaric acid was slightly less reactive with 3SH, compared to oxidized flavan-3-ols. The identification of o-quinone-caftaric acid/3SH and o-quinone-(+)-catechin/3SH adducts in a must matrix suggests that the proposed reaction mechanism is responsible for 3SH loss in dry wines during their vinification and aging process.

To elucidate possible mechanisms of nitrogen chemistry between ammonia (NH) and ethanol, the potential pathways of ethanol radicals (Wa, Wb, and Wc) following H-abstraction by NH radicals were primarily investigated including HCN addition, H-transfer, and dissociation reactions by quantum chemical calculations. The rate constants were solved in the master equation based on RRKM and TST theory and fitted to the Arrhenius equation. The results demonstrate that H-abstraction from CHOH by NH at the b-site is the most competitive, facilitating subsequent HCN addition.

This study reports the synthesis, characterization, and multifunctional sensing capabilities of a novel quinoline-based Schiff base ligand (L), designed for selective and sensitive detection of Ni, Cu, Zn ions, and CO⁻ anions. L exhibits distinct colorimetric responses visible to the naked eye-pale yellow to amber red for Ni, caramel brown for Cu, and canary yellow for Zn-enabling efficient and straightforward detection. Fluorescence studies reveal a selective green fluorescence "turn-on" response for Zn, complemented by fluorescence quenching in the presence of CO⁻, demonstrating the ligand's reusability and robustness.

Using an Earth-abundant transition metal to mediate formation and splitting of C-C σ-bonds, in response to electrical stimuli, constitutes a promising strategy to construct complex organic skeletons. Here, we showcase how [ BuN][N] reacts with an isocyanide adduct of a tetrahedral and high-spin Ti complex, [(Tp )TiCl] (1), to enact N-atom transfer, C-N bond formation, and C-C coupling, to form a dinuclear complex, [(Tp )Ti{AdN(N)C-C(N)NAd}Ti(Tp )] (3), with two Ti ions bridged by a disubstituted oxalimidamide ligand ( Bu = -butyl, Tp = hydrotris(3--butyl-5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, Ad = 1-adamantyl). Magnetic and computational studies reveal two magnetically isolated d Ti ions, and electrochemical studies unravel a reversible two-electron oxidation at -0.

The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO) reduction is challenged by the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) especially in acidic media. Here, we elaborate that redox-active isoindigo, acting as a multifunctional co-catalyst, can pre-activate CO-bound intermediates and suppress HER upon the synergistic effects of Lewis acid-base adduct formation, intramolecular hydrogen-bond interaction, and interfacial water structure modulation. Modifying a silver catalyst with isoindigo substantially decreases the energy barrier for CO-to-*COOH conversion, which is regarded as the potential-limiting step of carbon monoxide production.

Background: A subset of patients experience immune-mediated hypersensitivity reactions towards β-lactam antibiotics, with drug-specific T cells implicated as one of the causative factors. The principal mechanism is thought to involve chemical haptenation of self-peptides, resulting in novel peptide drug-adducts that may trigger T cell recognition. Understanding the interactions between the β-lactam drug, the T cell receptor (TCR) and the peptide/human leukocyte antigen (pHLA) complex is critical to gain further mechanistic insights into these hypersensitivity reactions.
