Tuning Antiaromaticity Through Meso‐Substituent Orientation in Core‐Modified Isophlorins
Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.The antiaromaticity of dithiadioxaisophlorins is controlled by the steric bulkiness of meso‐substituents through their tilt angle relative to the macrocycle. Bulkier substituents maintain larger angles, preserving stronger antiaromaticity, while smaller groups facilitate π‐conjugation with the macrocycle, diminishing antiaromaticity.

Formation of furan and furan derivatives in baby food products
Food ChemistryA comprehensive analysis of 89 commercial baby food samples showed the highest levels of furan in ready-to-eat full meals and vegetable purees (12-118 μg/kg). The alkylated furans (2- and 3-methylfuran, 2-ethylfuran, 2-pentylfuran) were predominantly found in these baby food categories.
