A chitosan‐graft‐gelatin hydrogel, incorporating a pH‐responsive dye, bromothymol blue, as a colorimetric freshness indicator is introduced to monitor the spoilage of chicken breasts. The hydrogel indicates microbial activity, and the production of carbon dioxide due to deteriorating food freshness via a change in pH, and serves as a smart and visual ...

Abstract Photoinduced catalytic alkylation reactions of active methine compounds with nonactivated alkenes have been developed using an organophotocatalyst, a metal Lewis acid, an arylthiol, and an amine base catalyst system. The alkylation reactions proceeded smoothly under ambient conditions with blue light irradiation, affording the desired products

Abstract The demonstrated light‐initiated addition of radicals formed on an active methylene group to styrene derivatives exhibits a product selectivity influenced by the presence of a protic solvent. Under protic conditions, the predominant products are branched compounds with the alkene moiety attached to the methylene group.

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution provides an efficient route to chiral organic molecules featuring an allyl moiety, key intermediates in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. However, the use of unsymmetrical 1,3‐disubstituted allyl electrophiles has been severely constrained by the challenges of achieving both regio‐

We herein introduce a method for the direct a‐amination of different carbonyl compounds by employing aqueous ammonia as the N‐source. Upon using NH3 in combination with hypochlorites as simple oxidants under phase‐transfer catalytic conditions it is possible to carry out the direct a‐amination of reactive enolate‐precursors such as cyclic b‐ketoesters,

Pd‐catalyzed annulations of ACPs with different C=N partners in both inter‐ and intramolecular ways are described. The methods provide access to pyrrolidines and pyrrolidine‐fused polycyclic systems, featuring β‐exo‐methylene moieties. Preliminary enantioselective variant has been shown by using a chiral phosphoramidite ligand and DFT studies shed ...

Chemoselective or Regioselective?
The current definitions of chemoselectivity and regioselectivity lack sufficient clarity and allow for the ambiguous labeling of reported reaction selectivities in some instances. This article proposes a rationale and simplified definitions of these terms that will facilitate an unambiguous description of the observed reaction selectivity.

Biomimetic Growth of Calcium Oxalate Hydrates: Shape Development and Structures in Agar Gel Matrices
The biomimetic growth of calcium oxalate hydrates is conducted using a double diffusion technique in agar gel. The results reveal the shape development of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and dihydrate (COD), resembling biominerals of kidney stones. The pH variations influence phase selection, with COM forming at lower pH and COD at higher pH.
