Polydopamine (PDA) is a synthetic material synthesized through the oxidative self‐polymerization of dopamine under alkaline conditions. This material emulates the adhesive properties of mussel foot proteins, allowing the formation of robust and stable organic coatings on various surfaces. Researchers have attempted to identify and improve the surface‐coating properties of PDA by incorporating additional organic functional groups. This review explores the structural modifications of dopamine molecules at the organic chemistry level, with a focus on changes in the catechol moiety and aliphatic amines, and examines their impact on the applications of PDA. The flexibility of these modifications underscores their importance for optimizing PDA coatings for a wide range of applications.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of 2-alkylamino and 2-dialkylamino derivatives of N-oxides of 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-nitroquinolines, which can potentially exhibit biological activity, as containing a pharmacophoric quinoline fragment, is described herein. The reactions of 5(6,7,8)-nitroquinoline N-oxides with various primary or secondary amines in the presence of potassium ferricyanide at in aqueous dioxane medium afforded the corresponding secondary and tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields. This reaction is the first example of a Chichibabin reaction leading to the formation of 2-alkylaminoquinoline derivatives at position 2 under mild conditions. A study of the antibacterial activity of some products was carried out.

To investigate interference phenomena and conductance properties in mechanically controlled break junctions (MCBJs), macrocycles 1 and 2 (BMCs: for BenzeneMacroCycles), containing a meta-substituted benzene moiety with solubilizing tert-butyl groups, as well as structures 3 and 4 (TMCs: for ThiopheneMacroCycles), featuring 2,5-connected 3,4-hexyl-thiophene corners, were synthesized. Macrocycles 1 and 2 respectively 3 and 4 differ in the positions of the acetyl-protected sulfur anchoring groups, which impacts both, the individual transport efficiency of their parallel electronic pathways and their overall molecular wire lengths. All macrocycles were synthesized based on a series of Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. For 3 and 4, a 2-(4-pyridinyl)ethyl protecting group for the sulfur atoms was successful, while for macrocycles 1 and 2 the more common tert-butyl protecting group did the job. To our delight, proof-of-concept charge transport studies conducted in an MCBJ setup demonstrated the expected trends regarding improved conductance intensities for the TMCs compared to the BMCs. Furthermore, the corresponding molecular plateaus from the breaking experiments were in the expected length range of the S-S distances for all compounds. We also found that the overall conductance seems to follow a more complex transport mechanism than just the sum of contributions from both channels.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) generated from imidazolium, imidazopyridinium and imidazoquinolinium hydrochlorides in situ using base and microwave irradiation were employed as organocatalysts to yield homoenolates from cinnamaldehyde and its aryl-substituted analogs. Depending on the catalytic base either γ-lactones were prepared when the strong base tBuOK was used or the corresponding saturated ethyl 3-aryl propionates were synthesized with the milder DIPEA base. Novel imidazopyridinium and imidazoquinolinium hydrochlorides were synthesized and were compared to commercially available NHCs IMes and IDip for their catalytic activity. The optimum reaction conditions were established using IMes and the broad scope of both reactions was investigated using the 4 most efficient NHCs.

Deinococcucin A is a secondary metabolite isolated from a gut bacteria of carpenter ant, member of extremophilic Deinoccocus family. The structure is a glycolipid containing N-acetyl glucosamine, linked in α anomeric position to a chiral 2,3-dihydroxypropanamide moiety. We succeeded a new strategy starting directly from N-acetylglucosamine and transforming in an efficient manner an allyl group to the corresponding chiral α-hydroxyamide. Three key steps were used: the oxidation of primary amine to nitrile using TCCA, as well as its hydrolysis to the corresponding amide using palladium (II) catalyzed conditions. The synthesis was completed in only 10 steps with an overall yield of 3%.

Plastics play a crucial role in the survival and advancement of human civilization. However, the increasing challenge of plastic pollution presents significant obstacles. Disposal methods such as incineration and landfilling result in substantial resource wastage and pose potential environmental hazards. The slow progress in recycling and reusing waste plastics hinders their industrial application and effective response to environmental crises. Photocatalysis offers promising solutions for the future of plastic recycling, particularly with the recent increase in photocatalytic degradation methods for polystyrene (PS). This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the photooxidation of PS into high-value chemicals.

A palladium-catalyzed domino radical sulfonylation and alkynylation of simple alkynes has been developed for the rapid construction of privileged scaffolds containing sulfone and 1,3-enyne motifs. The reaction of sulfonyl iodide with simple alkynes proceeded smoothly under mild conditions to afford a variety of sulfone-containing 1,3-enynes in good yields and with excellent selectivities.

A series of phenoxazine embedded heteroporphyrins containing one phenoxazine, two pyrroles and one heterocycle, such as furan, thiophene, selenophene and telluorophene, connected through four meso carbon atoms were synthesized by condensing one equivalent of phenoxazine-based tripyrrane with one equivalent of the appropriate 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl-p-tolyl) heterocycle under acid-catalyzed conditions, and their structure, spectral and electrochemical properties were compared with those of previously reported phenothiazine embedded heteroporphyrins. The X-ray crystal structure of the phenoxazine embedded selenoporphyrin revealed that the selenophene ring, which is opposite phenoxazine moiety, points outward from the macrocyclic core, and the phenoxazine unit deviated by an angle of 39.47° from the mean plane defined by the four meso carbons atoms. The replacement of the phenothiazine unit in phenothiazine embedded heteroporphyrins with a phenoxazine unit led to significant alteration of the electronic properties of the macrocycles, as reflected in their spectral and electrochemical properties. The absorption spectra of phenoxazine embedded heteroporphyrins showed bathochromically shifted absorption bands, hypsochromically shifted fluorescence bands with decent quantum yields, more facile oxidation and more difficult reduction as compared to the corresponding phenothiazine embedded heteroporphyrins. DFT and TD-DFT studies were in support of the experimental observations.

The Pd-catalyzed C4-arylation of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles via C-H bond functionalization has been largely described. By contrast, the reactivity of isoxazoles in C-H bond functionalization with both unsubstituted C4 and C5 positions remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report on the reactivity in Pd-catalyzed double C-H bond arylation of an isoxazole with unsubstituted C4 and C5 positions. Conditions for the palladium-catalyzed direct C4,C5-diarylation of ethyl isoxazole-3-carboxylate using aryl bromides as the aryl source are reported. This procedure tolerates several useful substituents on the aryl bromide such as nitrile, acetyl, formyl, benzoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, cyanomethyl,tertbutyl and methoxy at para- and meta-positions. Conversely, with ortho-substituted aryl bromides, mixtures of mono- and di-arylated isoxazoles were generally obtained. This methodology provides a simple one pot access to a wide variety of C4,C5-diarylated isoxazoles from commercially available substrates allowing to modify easily their biological properties.

Ligands play a key role in asymmetric transition-metal catalysis. Among reported chiral ligands, readily available and air-stable secondary phosphine oxide ligands are unique and have aroused wide interest in Ni–Al bimetallic catalysis, since they can act as bifunctional ligands to ligate two metals for stronger bimetallic synergism, greatly enhancing reactivity and selectivity. Hence, in this mini review we will focus on secondary phosphine oxides and their applications in asymmetric Ni-Al bimetallic catalysis.
