RESUMEN
An elegant Pd(dba)2-catalyzed enantioselective Heck dearomative annulation of indoles and N-tosylhydrazones for the straightforward assembly of structurally diverse optically active indoline scaffolds containing the quaternary carbon centers at the C2 position has been developed. The tandem protocol, which utilized a Pd(dba)2/BINOL-based phosphoramidite ligand as the catalytic system, proceeded smoothly through successive oxidative addition, intramolecular carbon palladation, migratory insertion, and ß-elimination sequences, leading to the chiral indoline derivatives in moderate to excellent yields, with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities. In addition, the synthetic practicability of the catalytic system was underlined by a scaled-up experiment and the late-stage derivatization of the products, thus highlighting the potential applications in synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and material science.
RESUMEN
An elegant Lewis acid catalyzed, protection-free, and straightforward synthetic strategy for the assembly of a series of sophisticated polycyclic quinoline skeletons employing propargylic alcohols and 2-vinylanilines as the substrates in the presence of Yb(OTf)3 (10 mol %) and AgOTf (10 mol %) in tetrahydrofuran has been described.

RESUMEN
Fluorinated organic compounds are an important class of organic molecules and play a key role in both academic and industrial communities due to the unique nature of fluorine. Among the fluorine-containing functional groups, the OCF3 group is of vital importance because of its favorable physicochemical properties, so it frequently acts as the pivotal skeletal motif in a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical molecules, agrochemicals, natural products, and materials. Over the past few decades, a wider range of strategies for the efficient, versatile, and practical synthesis of trifluoromethoxylated compounds have been the focus of a number of research initiatives. These synthesis approaches are especially fascinating in the context of the design of agrochemicals and new drugs as established pathways for installing the OCF3 moiety. In this review, the state of the art of the synthesis of OCF3-containing compounds is summarized. It can be segmented into six categories: (1) de novo formation of the OCF3 group; (2) construction of trifluoromethoxylated compounds via trifluoromethylation of the corresponding alcohol or phenol; (3) construction of trifluoromethoxylated compounds via installing the entire OCF3 group straightaway onto a complex molecule; (4) visible-light-induced trifluoromethoxylation; (5) transition metal-catalyzed trifluoromethoxylation; and (6) construction of the trifluoromethoxylated compounds via rearrangement reactions.
RESUMEN
An efficient and convenient method to synthesize 6-oxyalkylated 1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H, 4H)-diones has been developed via visible-light-induced cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction between 1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H, 4H)-diones and ethers with a wide range of functional group tolerance. The present transformation employs the cheap and low-toxic 2-tert-butylanthraquinone as a metal-free photocatalyst and air as a green oxidant at room temperature. Moreover, this reaction can also be driven by sunlight as a clean energy resource. The synthetic utility of this method is further demonstrated by gram-scale reaction and application in the preparation of key intermediates of bioactive molecules.

RESUMEN
An elegant Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Heck dearomative alkenylation of aryl iodides with functionalized N-tosylhydrazones proceeded through a sequential dearomative carbopalladation, migratory insertion, and ß-hydride elimination in the presence of Pd(CF3COO)2 (10 mol %), PPh3 (30 mol %), and Cs2CO3 (2.0 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (2.0 mL) at 120 °C for 14 h under an argon atmosphere.

RESUMEN
An unprecedented Pd-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular cascade cyclization of aryl halides with readily available arylboronic acids proceeds through a Heck-type dearomative cyclization terminated with arylation in the presence of Pd2(dba)3 (10 mol %), Cu2O (5 mol %), and Cs2CO3 (2.0 equiv) in 1,2-dichloroethane (1.0 mL) at 100 °C for 15 h in air using BINOL-based phosphoramidite as the chiral ligand. This dearomative Heck protocol, which tolerates a broad variety of functional groups, is amenable to the generation of optically active indoline derivatives bearing all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers in one step in moderate to excellent yields, with excellent diastereoselectivities (>20:1) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). It is worth mentioning that no decrease in the enantiopurity of the indoline derivatives was observed during the synthetic transformations of the products.

RESUMEN
Vitamin D has been considered as an immune modulator, and exerted the effect through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). This study investigated the associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of VDR with the outcomes of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Three SNPs (rs2228570, rs757343 and rs739837) were genotyped by TaqMan assay among Chinese population, including 538 HCV spontaneous clearance subjects, 834 persistent infection subjects and 1030 uninfected subjects. Binary logistic analyses were used to control the effects of confounding factors. The results showed that subjects with the rs757343 A allele and rs739837 A allele had the significantly reduced risk of HCV susceptibility (all PBonferroni<0.05 in dominant/additive model). In the stratified analysis, the protection of rs757343 A allele and rs739837 A allele against HCV infection remained effective in some subgroups. In addition, patients carrying rs739837 CA genotype were less prone to develop persistent infection (PBonferroni=0.033) and such effect still work in several subgroups in the stratified analysis. Furthermore, haplotype analysis indicated that when compared with the most frequent GC haplotype, the haplotype carrying AA (odds ratio (OR)=0.66, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.56-0.78) and GA (OR=0.64, 95% CI=0.47-0.85) suggested a protective effect. Our findings indicated that the polymorphisms of VDR are associated with the outcomes of HCV infection among Chinese population.

A convenient strategy is presented for the easy preparation of a series of 2 H-chromenes under mild conditions through iodocyclization of readily accessible propynols. In addition, various 4-chromanones can be synthesized through a p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyzed cascade cyclization with high efficiency (yields up to 99 %). Our developed reaction systems are proven to have good functional-group applicability and can be scaled up to gram quantities in satisfactory yields. These systems also provide a new synthetic strategy for two types of important flavonoid skeleton without using costly and toxic metal catalysts. Additionally, the resulting halides could be further exploited in subsequent palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, so these compounds could act as potential intermediates for the construction of some valuable drug molecules.

Moreover, both secondary and tertiary alcohols have been highly regioselectively transformed to the desired products with good functional group compatibility.
RESUMEN
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecule influences host antigen presentation and anti-viral immune response. The aim of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within HLA class II gene were associated with different clinical outcomes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Three HLA class II SNPs (rs3077, rs2395309 and rs2856718) were genotyped by TaqMan assay among Chinese population, including 350 persistent HCV infection patients, 194 spontaneous viral clearance subjects and 973 HCV-uninfected control subjects. After logistic regression analysis, the results indicated that the rs2856718 TC genotype was significantly associated with the protective effect of the HCV natural susceptibility (adjusted OR: 0.712, 95% CI: 0.554-0.914) when compared with reference TT genotype, and this remained significant after false discovery rate (FDR) correction (p = 0.024). Moreover, the protective effect of rs2856718 was observed in dominant genetic models (adjusted OR: 0.726, 95% CI: 0.574-0.920), and this remained significant after FDR correction (p = 0.024). In stratified analysis, a significant decreased risk was found in rs2856718C allele in the male subgroup (adjusted OR: 0.778, 95% CI: 0.627-0.966) and hemodialysis subgroup (adjusted OR: 0.713, 95% CI: 0.552-0.921). Our results indicated that the genetic variations of rs2856718 within the HLA-DQ gene are associated with the natural susceptibility to HCV infection among the Chinese population.
