[Effects of Polystyrene Microplastics on Growth, Physiology, Biochemistry, and Canopy Temperature Characteristics of Chinese Cabbage Pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.)].

The aim of this study was to clarify the response characteristics of Chinese cabbage pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) under two particle size (100 nm and 1000 nm) polystyrene microplastic (PS-MPs) stress conditions. This study can provide a theoretical basis and experimental reference for the interpretation of the physiological and ecological mechanism of microplastic pollution and the bioremediation of microplastic-contaminated soil. Hydroponic experiments were carried out to study the effects of two particle sizes (100 nm and 1000 nm) of PS-MPs on growth, photosynthetic physiology, antioxidant enzyme activities, nutritional quality, anatomical structure, and canopy temperature in Chinese cabbage pakchoi. The results showed that PS-MPs stress significantly inhibited the growth and development of Chinese cabbage pakchoi. When PS-MPs stress was increased, the phenotypic indicators were significantly reduced. Meanwhile, PS-MPs stress significantly enhanced the oxidative stress response of Chinese cabbage pakchoi, such as the activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in leaves. Such a change tended to decrease the thickness of fenestrated and leaf and spongy tissues. Moreover, PS-MPs stress significantly increased the canopy population temperature of the Chinese cabbage pakchoi leaves. Microplastic stress had obvious inhibitory effects and toxic damage on the growth, development, and physical and chemical properties of Chinese cabbage pakchoi.

Potassium iodide catalyzed simultaneous C3-formylation and N-aminomethylation of indoles with 4-substituted-N,N-dimethylanilines.

A one-pot dual functionalization of indoles has been developed. The simultaneous C3-formylation and N-aminomethylation of indoles can be achieved using readily available potassium iodide as a catalyst and tert-butyl peroxybenzoate as a co-oxidant.

Bu4NI-catalyzed benzylic acyloxylation of alkylarenes with aromatic aldehydes.

An nBu(4)NI-catalyzed benzylic C-H acyloxylation of alkylarenes with readily available aromatic aldehydes has been developed. These reactions occur under mild and clean reaction conditions using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the green terminal oxidant.

nBu4NI-catalyzed C3-formylation of indoles with N-methylaniline.

nBu(4)NI-catalyzed C3-selective formylation of N-H and N-substituted indoles by using N-methylaniline as a formylating reagent was first successfully demonstrated.

Facile synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole analogs of SGLT2 inhibitors by 'click chemistry'.

Novel analogs of SGLT2 inhibitors containing the 1,2,3-triazole motif were designed and synthesized for urinary glucose excretion evaluation. The C-glucosides with triazole aglycone can be easily constructed by click chemistry. Most of the synthesized compounds increased urinary glucose excretion and demonstrated inhibition of glucose transport.
