Article Abstract
A silicon-assisted C-O bond fragmentation strategy is developed by employing photoredox catalysis. This method describes an efficient transformative alternative for the dealkylation of aryl alkyl ethers comprising bioactive moieties. The protocol was successfully applied to the disintegration of lignin models and to the synthesis of an FLAP inhibitor. Detailed mechanistic investigations, with the help of computational studies, reveal the origin of the chemoselectivity and exclude the probability of unwanted parallel reactions.

Quantum mechanical tunnelling significantly influences the reactivity of strained ring systems, yet strategies for controlling such reactivity remain largely unexplored. Here, we identify geminal hyperconjugation, , electron delocalization between σ-bonds attached to a common atom, as a decisive electronic factor in governing heavy-atom tunnelling reactions involving three-membered rings. We illustrate this through a case study of the oxepin (1') ⇌ benzene oxide (1) equilibrium, recently shown to undergo solvent-controlled tunnelling at 3 K (, 2020, , 20318).

In the structure of the title compound, CHN·CHNOS·CHNOS, the central pyridinic rings are approximately coplanar to the benzo-thia-zole moieties. The phenyl groups are appreciably angled to the central rings [inter-planar angles of 57.30 (3)° for the anion and 79.

Hydroxymethyl-methyl-α-lactone (HMML) is a key epoxide precursor in forming tracer compounds 2-methylglyceric acid (2-MG) or 2-methylglyceric acid sulfate (2-MGOS) from isoprene under high-NOx conditions. Despite its importance, the formation and transformation of HMML─particularly under acidic aerosol conditions─are still poorly understood, limiting comprehensive knowledge of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. In this study, quantum chemical calculations, Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD), and metadynamics (MTD) simulations are employed to investigate both the formation of HMML from methacryloyl peroxynitrate (MPAN) and its interfacial transformation mechanisms on sulfuric acid aerosols.

Albomycins are unusual sulfur-containing nucleosides from the species of that exhibit potent antibiotic activities against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria including clinical pathogens. Previous studies demonstrated that the twitch radical SAM enzyme AbmM catalyzes an oxidative sulfur-for-oxygen swapping reaction converting CDP to a 4'-hydroxy-4'-thiocytidine 5'-diphosphate intermediate in the initial step of albomycin biosynthesis. However, the fate of this intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway has remained elusive.

Ethylene glycol (EG) derived from biomass and plastic wastes can serve as a sustainable H resource through steam reforming (HOCHCHOH + 2HO ⇄ 5H + 2CO). However, achieving high activity in H production with good selectivity toward CO under mild conditions poses a challenge. A thoughtful understanding of the active sites that accelerate the cleavage of the C-C bond rather than the C-O bond and the activation of the water molecule is still lacking.
