Direct C(sp2)–H alkylation of unactivated arenes enabled by photoinduced Pd catalysis
Direct catalytic C(sp2)–H alkylation of unactivated arenes with alkyl halides remains elusive despite the progress in C-H functionalization. Here, the authors report the catalytic C(sp2)–H alkylation of unactivated arenes with alkyl bromides via visible ...

The preparation of ketene dithioacetals and thiophenes from chloropyridines containing an active methylene group [PDF]
The base catalysed reaction of carbon disulphide with the active methylene groups of chloropyridines 4 and 7, followed by alkylation with reagents which also contain active methylene groups, lead to ketene dithioacetals.

Synthesis and structure of novel tripodal ligands based on tetrazol-5-thioles
Novel tripodal ligands (R1N4CS)3CH, where R1 = Me, Ph, were synthesised by alkylation of 1-R-tetrazol-5-thioles with iodoform in alkaline media. These ligands were identified based on data of elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ...

Molecular Tuning of the Magnetic Response in Organic Semiconductors
The tunability of high-mobility organic semi-conductors (OSCs) holds great promise for molecular spintronics. In this study, we show this extreme variability - and therefore potential tunability - of the molecular gyromagnetic coupling ("g-") tensor with

Methods for synthesizing diethyl carbonate from ethanol and supercritical carbon dioxide by one-pot or two-step reactions in the presence of potassium carbonate [PDF]
Carbon dioxide sequestration was studied by synthesizing diethyl carbonate (DEC) from ethanol and CO2 under supercritical conditions in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base. The co-reagent was ethyl iodide or a concentrated strong acid.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...
