slightly affected, indicating that the formation of the characteristic wheat beer aroma might not suffer when applying these favorable conditions for styrene reduction.Metal anodes based on a plating/stripping electrochemistry such as metallic Li, Na, K, Zn, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al are recognized as promising anode materials for constructing next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable metal batteries owing to their low electrochemical potential, high theoretical specific capacity, superior electronic conductivity, etc. However, inherent issues such as high chemical reactivity, severe growth of dendrites, huge volume changes, and unstable interface largely impede their practical application. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives as emerging multifunctional materials have already well addressed the inherent issues of metal anodes in the past several years due to their abundant metallophilic functional groups, special inner channels, and controllable structures. COFs and their derivatives can solve the issues of metal anodes by interfacial modification, homogenizing ion flux, acting as nucleation seeds, reducing the corrosion of metal anodes, and so on. Nevertheless, related reviews are still absent. Here we present a detailed review of multifunctional COFs and their derivatives in metal anodes for rechargeable metal batteries. Meanwhile, some outlooks and opinions are put forward. We believe the review can catch the eyes of relevant researchers and supply some inspiration for future research.Nitroacetonitrile (NAN) serves as a cyano(nitro)methylating agent facilitating the construction of polyfunctionalized compounds; however, its explosive property is a significant drawback in terms of practical handling. Alkali metal salts of NAN are thermally stable, but their insolubility in organic solvents restricts their use as a synthetic reagents. On the contrary, dipyrrolidinium cyano-aci-nitroacetate is soluble in common organic solvents and thermally stable, allowing for its use as an alternative synthetic equivalent of nitroacetonitrile for the construction of polyfunctionalized frameworks via cyano(nitro)methylation.Phosphorylcholine (PC) has been used to improve the water solubility and biocompatibility of biomaterials. Here, we show that PC can also work as a ligand for targeting cancer cells based on their increased phospholipid metabolism. PC-installed multiarm poly(ethylene glycol)s and polymeric micelles achieved high and rapid internalization in pancreatic cancer cells. This enhanced cellular uptake was drastically reduced when the cells were incubated with excess free PC or at 4 °C, as well as by inhibiting the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) on the surface of cancer cells, indicating an energy dependent active transport mediated by PLTP.Transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions have emerged as powerful protocols to construct C-C bonds. However, the development of enantioselective C(sp3)-C(sp3) reductive coupling remains challenging. Herein, we report a highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective reductive homocoupling of allylic acetates through cooperative palladium and photoredox catalysis using diisopropylethylamine or Hantzsch ester as a homogeneous organic reductant. This straightforward protocol enables the stereoselective construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds under mild reaction conditions. A series of C2-symmetrical chiral 1,5-dienes were easily prepared with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee), diastereoselectivities (up to >955 dr), and regioselectivities (up to >955 rr). The resultant chiral 1,5-dienes can be directly used as chiral ligands in asymmetric synthesis, and they can be also transformed into other valuable chiral ligands.(+)-Panamonon B was synthesized with the key quaternary center (of a predefined absolute configuration) installed using Stoltz asymmetric allylation. The C-5 ketone functionality and the cross-conjugated enone moiety in the side chain were introduced via a photosensitized [2+4] cycloaddition of singlet oxygen to diene silyl enol ether and an aldol condensation under the conditions of Sugiura, respectively. The 1H and 13C NMR of the synthetic and natural samples were fully consistent with each other. However, because two samples showed opposite signs for optical rotations, they must be antipodes to one another. The synthesis also provided valuable chances to observe unexpected, yet rather intriguing, phenomena such as a bulky substituent in an axial position of a cyclohexane ring and (E)-and (Z)-isomers with opposite signs for optical rotations despite their identical stereogenic centers. The rare occurrence of a bulky substituent in an axial position of a cyclohexane ring is rationalized as a consequence of the presence of a quaternary center and formation of the five-membered lactone fused to the six-membered ring, while the so far unnoticed influence of C═C geometry on optical rotation is shown to be consistent with the information encapsulated in several discrete pairs of similar compounds retrieved from the literature.A selection of 3,4-diaminoindoles were required for a recent drug discovery project. To this end, a 10-step synthesis was developed from 4-nitroindole. This synthesis was subsequently adapted and used to synthesize 3,5-; 3,6-; and 3,7-diaminoindoles from the corresponding 5-, 6-, or 7-nitroindole. These novel intermediates feature orthogonal protecting groups that allow them to be further diversified. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/SB-203580.html This is the first reported synthesis of these types of compounds.The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 inspires the development of effective inhibitors to block the SARS-CoV-2 spike-ACE2 interaction. A chemical investigation on the fruiting bodies of Phellinus pini led to the isolation of five aromatic cadinane sesquiterpenoids including four new ones, named piniterpenoids A-D (1-4), as well as three known lignans. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis including HRMS and 1D and 2D NMR. All of the aromatic cadinane sesquiterpenoids inhibited the SARS-CoV-2 spike-ACE2 interaction, with IC50 values ranging from 64.5 to 99.1 μM. A molecular docking study showed the disruption of the interaction of compound 1 via hydrogen interactions with Arg403, Asp405, and Arg408 of SARS-CoV-2 RBD and Arg393 and His34 residues of ACE2. These results suggested that aromatic cadinane sesquiterpenoids might be useful in developing agents for COVID-19.We herein report the identification, structural optimization, and structure-activity relationship of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives as a novel kind of selective vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) inhibitors. N-(4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(6-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxamide (38k) was the most potent VEGFR3 inhibitor (IC50 = 110.4 nM) among developed compounds. Compared with VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, VEGFR3 was approximately 100 times more selective. Here, compound 38k significantly inhibited proliferation and migration of VEGF-C-induced human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLEC), MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-436 cells by inactivating the VEGFR3 signaling pathway. Additionally, 38k induced cell apoptosis and a prolonged G1/S-phase in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-436 cells. It also presented acceptable pharmacokinetic characteristics in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with an oral bioavailability of 30.9%. In the xenograft model in vivo, 38k effectively inhibited breast cancer growth by suppressing the VEGFR3 signaling pathway. 38k pronouncedly resisted the formation of pulmonary metastatic nodules in mice. link2 Collectively, 38k may be a promising therapeutic agent of metastatic breast cancer.The potential energy surface (PES) describes the energy of a chemical system as a function of its geometry and is a fundamental concept in modern chemistry. A PES provides much useful information about the system, including the structures and energies of various stationary points, such as stable conformers (local minima) and transition states (first-order saddle points) connected by a minimum-energy path. Our group has previously produced surrogate reduced-dimensional PESs using sparse interpolation along chemically significant reaction coordinates, such as bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles. These surrogates used a single interpolation basis, either polynomials or trigonometric functions, in every dimension. However, relevant molecular dynamics (MD) simulations often involve some combination of both periodic and nonperiodic coordinates. Using a trigonometric basis on nonperiodic coordinates, such as bond lengths, leads to inaccuracies near the domain boundary. Conversely, polynomial interpolation on the periodic coordinates does not enforce the periodicity of the surrogate PES gradient, leading to nonconservation of total energy even in a microcanonical ensemble. In this work, we present an interpolation method that uses trigonometric interpolation on the periodic reaction coordinates and polynomial interpolation on the nonperiodic coordinates. We apply this method to MD simulations of possible isomerization pathways of azomethane between cis and trans conformers. This method is the only known interpolative method that appropriately conserves total energy in systems with both periodic and nonperiodic reaction coordinates. In addition, compared to all-polynomial interpolation, the mixed basis requires fewer electronic structure calculations to obtain a given level of accuracy, is an order of magnitude faster, and is freely available on GitHub.The recent discovery of temporally controlled gels opens broad perspectives to the field of smart functional materials. However, to obtain fully operative systems, the design of simple and robust gels displaying complex functions is desirable. Herein, we fuel dissipative gelating materials through iterative additions of trichloroacetic acid (TCA). link3 This simple fuel enables to switch over time an acid/base-dependent commercially available amino acid gelator/DBU combination between three distinct states (anionic, cationic, and neutral), while liberating volatile CO2 and CHCl3 upon fuel consumption. Of interest, the anionic resting state of the system is obtained through trapping of 1 equiv of CO2 through the formation of a carbamate. The system is tunable, robust, and resilient over time with over 25 consecutive sol-gel-sol cycles possible without significant loss of properties. Most importantly, because of the chiral nature of the amino acid gelator, the system features chiroptical switching properties moving reversibly between three distinct states as observed by ECD. The described system considerably enhances the potential of smart molecular devices for logic gates or data storage by adding a time dimension based on three states to the gelating materials. It is particularly simple in terms of chemical components involved, but it enables sophisticated functions.Extrapolation of density functional theory results from 2- and 3-ζ calculations is a promising method for extracting higher accuracy data from calculations of systems at the affordability limit. In this work, the author presents formulas for the determination of extrapolation parameters, which account for the makeup of the density functional approximation. The formulas are fitted to reproduce the complete basis set limit energies of PBE and related density functional approximations, using a set of 30 singlet diatomics. Their performance is extensively evaluated using standard benchmark data sets. The current systematically derived expressions are shown to be transferrable outside the PBE family of functional approximations, with the resulting extrapolation parameters outperforming the previous, less-systematic values. A good performance of [2,3]-ζ extrapolations for interaction energies of systems with significant noncovalent character is confirmed and holds even in systems of ∼100 atoms in size.
