The Pd‐catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric protonation (DAP) has been developed for sterically hindered tetrahydro‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one derived α‐aryl‐β‐keto esters. A substrate scope of nine examples of DAP showed that substrates containing a di‐ortho methoxy substitution pattern on the aryl ring gave rise to the highest enantioselectivities of up to 85 ...

Rapid Synthesis of Weinreb Amides via Titanium‐Mediated Direct Amidation at Room Temperature
Rapid titanium‐mediated direct amidation enables the room‐temperature synthesis of Weinreb amides directly from carboxylic acids under mild conditions. The operationally simple protocol delivers a broad substrate scope in good to excellent yields, including challenging fluorinated substrates, without the need for conventional coupling reagents ...

Triggered Calcium Lightning Programs Cochlear Development
Summary: Before the onset of hearing, the developing inner ear generates spontaneous calcium signals that are thought to guide maturation. In this study, we discovered a rapid and widespread calcium flash—dubbed “Ca2+ lightning”—originating from supporting cells beneath the sensory hair cells, which triggers coordinated calcium waves across the entire ...

Preservatives limit microbial development, oxidation, and enzymatic degradation, resulting in better food quality and extended shelf life. Classified as natural, synthetic, or biological, each preservative has distinctive attributes and modes of action. Growing preference for natural preservatives aligns with clean label trends.
