Catalytic C–F Bond Activation at Room Temperature: Enolate Cross‐Couplings Enabled by [Pd(1‐MeNAP)TFA]2 and LiHMDS

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Catalysts generated from the trifluoroacetate‐bridged methylnaphthyl‐palladium dimer [Pd(1‐MeNAP)TFA]2 and biarylphosphine ligands in combination with the base LiHMDS promote α‐arylation reactions of various enolates with non‐activated aryl fluorides at room temperature.

Design Considerations for Polymer–Deep Eutectic Solvent Hybrid Systems for Transdermal Drug Delivery

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) act as tunable, green excipients that modulate polymer structure–property relationships to enhance drug solubility, skin permeation, stability, and controlled release. Through hydrogen‐bond interactions, DES–polymer hybrid systems enable improved transdermal performance, offering a rational, design‐driven platform for ...
