Article Abstract
The decarboxylative alkenylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids with aryl styryl sulfones is efficiently catalyzed by riboflavin tetraacetate under visible light irradiation at room temperature. This metal-free protocol is cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and provides the corresponding olefins with excellent ()-diastereocontrol. The methodology can also be used to prepare internal alkynes regioselectively by using alkynyl sulfones as radical acceptors. The suitability as building blocks of the olefins obtained was demonstrated by performing an ()- to () photoisomerization, an iron-catalyzed allylic substitution of the phenoxy group derived from the 2-phenoxycarboxylic acid substrates, as well as -epoxidations, and diastereoselective intramolecular iodoarylations. Based on control experiments and DFT calculations, we proposed a reaction mechanism that accounts for the regio- and diastereo-selectivity observed.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a key role in grassland carbon biogeochemistry and shows sensitivity to global climate change, particularly nitrogen (N) deposition. We investigated the soil DOM molecular composition by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and FT-ICR MS through a N addition experiment (CK, N5, N10, N20, and N40 [0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 g N m-2 year-1, respectively]) in a desert steppe of northwest China. Moderate N inputs (N5-N20) caused a dose-dependent increase in DOM content (9.

The application of molecular imaging has advanced personalized medicine and generated a profound impact on patient care. Positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are among the most widely used imaging modalities, often requiring the isotopic labelling of bioactive molecules to generate the desired imaging probes. Unfortunately, radiochemistry often limits the development of novel agents due to complicated syntheses and the incompatibility of complex molecules.

Inhibition of the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a promising therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, due to its role in cognitive processes. HA08, a macrocyclic peptidomimetic derived from angiotensin IV, is among the most potent known IRAP inhibitors (IC = 18 nM). However, detailed structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies at its C-terminus have been limited by synthetic constraints.

Iron-catalyzed ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) processes have emerged as robust strategies for diverse organic transformations. Despite this potential, their application to addition reactions of C═N unsaturated bonds remains underexplored. Herein, we report an LMCT-enabled, photoredox/iron-catalyzed radical addition to dehydroglycine derivatives.

A novel reagent for the decarboxylative thiocyanation of nonactivated aliphatic carboxylic acids by HAT has been synthesized. The transition metal-free process involved the use of an organic photocatalyst and blue light irradiation. Primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic carboxylic acids as well as amino carboxylic acids and fatty carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding thiocyanates in good to excellent yields.
