On the prevalence of bridged macrocyclic pyrroloindolines formed in regiodivergent alkylations of tryptophan. [PDF]
A Friedel-Crafts alkylation is described that efficiently transforms tryptophan-containing peptides into macrocycles of varying ring connectivity. Factors are surveyed that influence the distribution of regioisomers, with a focus on indole C3-alkylations

Abstract A strategy for the immobilization of Johnston's Mono(AMidine) catalyst (MAM) onto polystyrene, silica and hybrid silica‐polystyrene nanoparticles is presented. The catalyst activity was evaluated in the stereoselective aza‐Henry reaction leading to the pivotal β‐amino nitroalkane precursors of the anti‐cancer agents Nutlins (with Nutlin‐3a as ...

Copper-catalyzed arylation of alkyl halides with arylaluminum reagents
We report a Cu-catalyzed coupling between triarylaluminum reagents and alkyl halides to form arylalkanes. The reaction proceeds in the presence of N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-o-phenylenediamine (NN-1) as a ligand in combination with CuI as a catalyst.

Effect of ion structure on the physicochemical properties and gas absorption of surface active ionic liquids [PDF]
Surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) combine useful characteristics of both ionic liquids (ILs) and surfactants, hence are promising candidates for a wide range of applications. However, the effect of SAIL ionic structures on their physicochemical properties remains unclear, which limits their uptake.

Structural, hydrogen bonding and dipolar properties of alkyl imidazolium-based ionic liquids: a classical and first-principles molecular dynamics study [PDF]
Ionic liquids (ILs) feature a tailorable and wide range of structural, chemical and electronic properties that make this class of materials suitable to a broad variety of forefront applications in next-generation electronics. Yet, their intrinsic complexity call for special attention and experimental probes have still limitations in unraveling the ...

Photocatalytic Alkylation of C(sp3)−H Bonds Using Sulfonylhydrazones**
Herein, we report the realization of an alkyl‐alkyl cross‐coupling reaction, which combines N‐sulfonyl hydrazones and C(sp3)−H donors through a diarylketone‐enabled photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer and a subsequent fragmentation of the obtained alkylated hydrazide.
