Modular Electronic Microrobots With Onboard Sensor‐Program‐Steered Locomotion
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Modular electronic smartlet microrobots integrate ambient‐light energy harvesting, photodetection, programmable CMOS control, and bubble‐based actuation within a sub‐millimeter fold‐up architecture. A 58‐bit on‐board CMOS chiplet enables sensor–program steered switching between independently addressable actuators, achieving closed‐loop 2D navigation in

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A Pd‐catalyzed regioselective synthesis of benzylsilanols from Kobayashi‐type reagents has been developed through a mechanistically distinct approach involving 1,4‐Pd migration followed by intramolecular transmetalation. The reaction can be combined with various prior transition‐metal‐catalyzed processes and the resulting benzylsilanols have been ...

Sulfur‐Directed Construction of Vinyl Cyclopropanes from 1,3‐Dienes
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Sulfur takes control. A pending thioether acts as a molecular compass, directing carbene addition to the 1,3‐diene scaffold with exceptional regio‑ and diastereocontrol to forge sulfur‐substituted vinyl cyclopropanes (S‐VCPs) — molecular architectures inaccessible via conventional cyclopropanation strategies.

Convergent Total Synthesis of 16β‐Hydroxylpseudobufarenogin
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We present a novel convergent strategy that integrates Pd/Ag‐promoted Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with Ir‐catalyzed radical‐relay cyclization, enabling the first total synthesis of 16β‐hydroxylpseudobufarenogin. This approach is broadly applicable to the total synthesis of various oxygenated bufadienolides by simply modifying the fragment structures ...

Mixed‐Functionalized Acylgermanes Result in Wavelength‐Controlled Fragmentation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Selective radical generation from PEG‐acylgermanes is achieved by controlling the used wavelength. Distinct aryl‐carbonyl units undergo wavelength‐dependent α‐cleavage, producing radicals with different reactivities. UV/Vis, TD‐DFT, and photo‐CIDNP spectroscopy confirm that small adjustments in light input directly dictate radical identity and ...
