An unprecedented asymmetric γ-allylic alkylation of free dienolates via Sc/Ir dual catalysis is reported, which affords a range of synthetically versatile γ-allylic crotonaldehydes in high efficiency with excellent chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivities. The dienolates bearing no essential auxiliary groups were generated in situ by scandium triflate-mediated Meinwald rearrangement of vinyloxiranes atom-economically. With the assistance of computational density functional theory calculations, a Sc/Ir bimetallic catalytic cycle was proposed to illustrate the reaction mechanism.

Accurate thermodynamic calculations for aluminum alkyls require proper treatment of low-frequency vibrations poorly described by the harmonic approximation (HA). Here, we present a systematic investigation of hindered rotation and out-of-plane bending in aluminum trichloride (ATC) and its methyl derivatives, employing advanced computational methods to perform anharmonic entropy corrections, such as torsional eigenvalue summation (TES), the extended two-dimensional torsion method (E2DT), the multi-structural approximation with torsional anharmonicity (MS-T), and Fourier grid Hamiltonian (FGH). Our results reveal distinct structure-dependent behaviors: monomers exhibit near-free methyl rotations where the HA overestimates entropy by 20-30 J K mol, while dimers show more hindered rotations adequately described by the HA around room temperature.

The Asian Corn Borer (ACB), Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) is a devastating pest of maize, causing significant yield and economic losses in Asia. GABA receptor inhibitors have served as effective tools for controlling ACB larvae over the past several decades. However, the toxicity levels and pharmacological properties of two insecticides, fluxametamide and fipronil against the ACB are still unclear.

Hypothesis: The surface free energy (γ) and solubility (δ) parameters are two important characteristic parameters describing physicochemical properties of substances, but knowledge about the characteristic parameters (γ and δ) of surfactants is still lacking. Possible relationships of the characteristic parameters of surfactants with their head group types and alkyl chain lengths as well as with the surface tension (σ) of their aqueous solutions are worth exploring.
Methods: Solid surfactants including 10 anionic and 14 cationic ones were chosen.
