Graphical Abstract

The reaction path of the Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular aza-Michael addition to form a C3 ammonium enolate is reported by Jan Paradies et al. in their Communication (e202204378). This transient intermediate rearranges diastereospecifically to the tetrahydroquinoline-4-one scaffold. The central structure in the picture represents the transition state of the diastereospecific sigmatropic [1,5] carbon shift which proceeds with retention of configuration on the migrating carbon center.

Renewable Polymers

In their Communication (e202203353), Mukund P. Sibi, Dean C. Webster, Jayaraman Sivaguru et al. highlight a methodology for the generation of photodegradable and recyclable cross-linked polymers from biomass.

Protein Structures

By collecting matched room-temperature and cryogenic datasets of the biomedical target Hsp90α, Marcus Fischer et al. identified in their Research Article (e202112919) changes in water networks that impact protein conformations at the ligand binding interface.

Biosensors

In their Research Article (e202204252), Leyla Soleymani, Yingfu Li et al. developed a dual-electrode electrochemical chip and a barcode-releasing electroactive aptamer for rapid detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea viruses.

Catalysis

Tandem catalysis of solid NaPr-CoRu@Al2O3 Fischer–Tropsch catalysts and molecular [HCo(CO)3PR3] hydroformylation catalysts allows the direct conversion of synthesis gas to alcohols, as demonstrated by Walter Leitner, Andreas J. Vorholt, Gonzalo Prieto et al. in their Research Article (e202201004).
