A General Platform for the Light‐Enabled Generation of α‐Fluoro Radicals Leveraging Simple Additives

Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.
A catalyst‐free, visible‐light protocol enables mild generation of α‐fluoro radicals from α‐halo fluorinated precursors using sodium iodide and 2,6‐lutidine. In situ halide exchange and C–I homolysis afford broad access to fluorinated esters, sulphones, and nitriles via coupling with diverse partners.

The natural basil flavonoid nevadensin protects against induction of markers of hepatocarcinogenicity by methyleugenol in male F344 rat

, 2014
The alkenylbenzene methyleugenol occurs naturally in a variety of spices and herbs, including basil, and their essential oils. At high dose levels methyleugenol induces hepatocarcinogenicity in rodents following bioactivation to 1'-sulfooxymethyleugenol ...

Divergent Evolutionary Pressures Shape Olfactory Sensitivity of the Maxillary Palps in Tephritidae Fruit Flies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Tephritids maxillary palps are particularly sensitive to pheromones and male lures, and these olfactory sensitivities are shaped by evolutionary forces. ABSTRACT Olfaction is a rapidly evolving sense. Given its diverse functions, from finding ecological niches to selection of mates, we hypothesized that olfaction is subjected to divergent evolutionary ...
