Mechanistic Paths for the Gold(I)‐Catalyzed Heteroannulation of Salicylic Amides With Apolar Alkynes Explored With Density Functional Theory Calculations

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 18, 14 May 2026.
A manifold of catalytic reaction paths can operate in the Au(I)‐catalyzed heteroannulation of salicylic amides and alkynes. However, a subtle initial nucleophilic advantage of N versus O and a kinetic bottleneck at an advanced stage of the mechanistic machinery seems to suffice for the reaction to run on a single path and with exquisite selectivity.

Spectroscopy and Conformer‐Selective Photoelectron Circular Dichroism of Chiral Molecules

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, Volume 21, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is a forward–backward asymmetry in the angular distribution of the electrons emitted by a chiral molecule ionized by a circularly polarized light (CPL). Its sensitivity to conformation is studied by one‐photon or resonance‐enhanced two‐photon ionization, the latter being conformer‐selective.

Catalytic Conversion of Lower Olefins to Aromatics Using Zeolite‐Based Catalysts

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
Zeolite‐catalyzed upgrading of light olefins (C2–C4) into benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) represents a sustainable route to aromatics. This review outlines thermodynamic and mechanistic aspects, the influence of acidity and textural properties of catalysts.

Triptindane‐9,10,11‐triol: Threefold Hydride Transfer from Lithium Aluminum Hydride as the Key Step to C3‐Symmetrically Trifunctionalized Tribenzo[3.3.3]propellanes

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 15, 22 April 2026.
Threefold reduction of 9,10,11‐triptindanetrione with LiAlH4 or NaBH4 yields exclusively the C3‐symmetric triol, suggesting an intracomplex (“rolling”) mechanism. However, use of LiAlH4/LiAlD4 (1 : 1) reveals a preceding hydride exchange. Mechanistic implications are discussed including the reduction of the related diketone.

Catalytic Hydrogenation of Lignin‐Derived Aromatics With Rhodium Oxide in Water

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 14, 15 April 2026.
The easily available, easy‐to‐handle rhodium(III) oxide, Rh2O3, is shown to be a competent catalyst for arene hydrogenation, including chemoselective reduction of α,β‐unsaturated aryl ketones. Catalytic arene hydrogenation offers a direct pathway to saturated carbocycles. It can also be exploited to upgrade lignin‐derived aromatics.

Beyond Cartilage‐Inspired Supramolecular Polyurethane for Adaptive Impact‐Resistant Protection with Robustness, Self‐Healing, and Recyclability

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
Cartilage‐inspired supramolecular polyurethane–urea (PU‐BAMB) elastomers are developed by integrating hierarchical hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions within a dynamically reconfigurable network. This synergistic supramolecular architecture overcomes the intrinsic trade‐off between rigidity and recoverability, imparting exceptional toughness,
