FeCl3‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Ynones from Silylated Alkynes and Acetic Anhydride
The synthesis of alkynones from silylated alkynes and acid chlorides, first reported by Birkhofer in 1963, remains a valuable transformation. However, its reliance on stoichiometric AlCl3 and corrosive reagents raises environmental and practical concerns. To address this, a greener protocol using catalytic FeCl3 and acetic anhydride is developed.

Tuning adsorption and morphology in poly(glutamic acid) via controlled acidic partial deprotection
Partial deprotection of poly(glutamic acid) generates morphologies and assemblies that match fully deprotected polypeptides in small‐molecule adsorption, extending to block copolypeptides with pH‐dependent effects. Abstract Synthetic polypeptides prepared from N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomers are important platforms for environmental and medical ...

Vegetable Oil–Mediated Transesterification as a Green Route to Tune Ethyl Cellulose Properties
An environmentally conscious strategy for augmenting the hydrophobicity of ethyl cellulose polymer via a transesterification reaction using renewable vegetable oil. ABSTRACT The inherent hydrophilicity of biopolymers presents significant limitations to their implementation, particularly in coating and packaging applications.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

ABSTRACT Psychological stress (or simply “stress”) is a major contributor to chronic disease worldwide, affecting 35% of the global population, including younger generations. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in human premature aging; hence, its detrimental effects on people's health compel us to comprehend and control the ways in which ...

Rationale Mass spectrometry (MS) is introduced to high school students in the UK in many pre‐university course syllabi. As such, we have identified the use of MS as a key technique that should be taught practically to undergraduates from the outset of their studies.

The scalable synthesis of target molecules is crucial for applications such as biological evaluation in medicinal chemistry and even industrial production. We described recent advances in chiral Brønsted acid–catalyzed asymmetric allylboration, which enables access to previously elusive chiral building blocks, and highlight its application to the ...

Cutting‐edge advances in bicyclic peptide‐based radiotracers for cancer imaging and theranostics
Abstract Along with successful clinical approval of radiopharmaceuticals targeting somatostatin receptor subtype 2 and prostate‐specific membrane antigen, peptide‐based radiotracers have garnered the increasing attention in cancer imaging and theranostics. As a newly emerging targeting ligand in recent years, bicyclic peptides have demonstrated immense

ABSTRACT Aim To characterise the metabolic benefits of a GLP‐1/apelin hybrid peptide, namely exendin‐4‐linker‐apelin (ELA), and associated acylated forms, including ELA‐Lys12(γGluPal), ELA‐Lys27(γGluPal) and ELA‐Lys38(γGluPal). Methods Concentration‐ and receptor‐dependent effects of the peptides on insulin secretion and beta‐cell turnover were ...
