A transition-metal-free, t-BuOOH mediated intramolecular carbonylation of arenes in 2-aryl-3-picolines via oxidative C-H functionalizations of the methyl group has been developed, providing an expedient synthesis of 4-azafluorenones. Distinct from the current literature wherein methylarenes have been used as acylating agents, 2-aryl-3-picolines in this study are transformed into aldehydes, which give 4-azafluorenones upon rapid intramolecular acylation. The study demonstrates the first example of intramolecular carbonylation of arenes utilizing a methyl group as latent carbonyl functionality.

Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS), also referred to as West syndrome, is a severe epileptic disorder that emerges during early childhood. It is marked by characteristic epileptic spasms, developmental stagnation or regression, and a distinctive electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern known as hypsarrhythmia. To better understand the underlying mechanisms of IESS, various genetic and chemically induced animal models have been developed.

Conventional one-dimensional gas chromatography methods for gasoline quality monitoring require separate analyses for different component classes, limiting analytical efficiency and unconventional additive detection. This study presents a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC × GC-FID) platform enabling simultaneous quantification of regulated components and rapid screening of unconventional additives in a single analytical run. The method achieved excellent agreement with ASTM standards and high repeatability for BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) and oxygenates in gasoline.

Epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation, show potential as biological markers and mechanisms underlying gene-environment interplay in the prediction of mental health and other brain-based phenotypes. However, little is known about how peripheral epigenetic patterns relate to individual differences in the brain itself. An increasingly popular approach to address this is by combining epigenetic and neuroimaging data; yet, research in this area is almost entirely comprised of cross-sectional studies in adults.

Steroid hormones are integral to pregnancy and fetal development, regulating processes such as metabolism, inflammation, and immune responses. Excessive prenatal steroid exposure, through lifestyle choices or environmental chemicals, can lead to metabolic dysfunctions in offspring. The research focuses on how exposure to testosterone (T) and bisphenol A (BPA) affects the liver's DNA methylome, a key component of the epigenome influencing long-term health.

Water contamination by micropollutants is a global issue, yet there is limited information from low-income regions. To address this, we evaluated surface water quality in rapidly growing Sub-Saharan area of Malawi lacking wastewater treatment. Integrated assessment of passive sample extracts representing wet and dry seasons combined effect-based approach with in vitro bioassays, target and non-target chemical analyses (NTS).
