Antivirulence therapy by cell membrane coated nanoparticles has shown promise against bacterial infections. However, current approaches remain unsatisfactory when facing Escherichia coli (E. coli) infections, since the E. secretes multiple toxins including endotoxins and exotoxins that are challenging to eliminate simultaneously. What is worse, absorptive scavengers normally rely on random contact of diffuse toxins, which not efficient. For platform, single type cannot fully meet detoxing...
Huperzine A, huperzine B, and U are congeners isolated from the Chinese herb Huperzia serrata (=Lycopodium serratum) in minuscule amounts. The most efficient total synthesis of first asymmetric syntheses have been achieved efficiently overall yields 17%, 10%, 9%, respectively, each spanning 10–13 steps (R)-pulegone. featured include palladium-catalyzed Buchwald–Hartwig coupling Heck cyclization reactions an Ir-catalyzed olefin isomerization reaction. This work has established absolute...
Abstract Alkynylation of alkenyl bromoarenes via aryl to vinyl 1,4‐palladium migration/copper‐free Sonogashira coupling sequence has been developed. This approach provides a facile methodology for the highly stereoselective synthesis multi‐substituted 1,3‐enynes in good excellent yields and regioselectivities.
1,4-Palladium migration has emerged as a reliable method for directed C–H functionalization. In contrast to coupling with carbon nucleophiles, limited examples heteroatom nucleophiles have been reported. Herein we report palladium-catalyzed intermolecular C(sp3)–H phosphorylation reaction via 1,4-palladium migration, which is often difficult because of the strong coordination phosphorus reagents palladium catalysts. Phosphorylation bonds accomplished in good yields excellent...

Comprehensive Summary Vinylphosphates play an important role in the fields of synthetic chemistry, pharmaceuticals and material science. It is a long‐standing challenge to control geometry multi‐substituted vinylphosphates. Herein, efficient method for synthesis 2,2‐disubstituted vinylphosphonates has been reported. The reaction proceeded via aryl vinyl 1,4‐palladium migration progress, which two difficulties that deactivation palladium catalyst by coordination excess secondary phosphine...

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new class of crystalline porous polymers that have sparked widespread interest due to their diverse topologies and prospective applications in heterogeneous catalysis, sewage treatment, fluorescence sensing, proton conduction, other domains. In this context, imine-connected COFs currently being synthesized mostly using classic solvothermal techniques, which is incompatible with the concept green chemistry need for high reaction temperatures (120–180...
