RESUMEN
A novel molecular iodine-catalyzed protocol for the construction of thiocarbamates from readily available sodium sulfinates, isocyanides, and water has been described. The present methodology offers a facile and practical route to a variety of thiocarbamates in moderate to good yields with favorable functional group tolerance by use odorless sodium sulfinates as the sulfur source. The mechanistic studies suggest the present transformation involves a radical process.
RESUMEN
We have developed the first intermolecular hetero-[5+2] cycloaddition reaction between oxidopyrylium ylides and cyclic imines with excellent control of regio- and stereoselectivity. Surprisingly, divergent stereochemistry was observed depending on the substitution pattern of the oxidopyrylium ylide. This new reaction provides quick access to highly substituted nitrogen-containing seven-membered rings-azepanes. Notably, a broad range of oxidopyrylium ylides and cyclic imines participate in this novel hetero-[5+2] cycloaddition reaction and the cycloadducts can be readily transformed into the core skeletons of bioactive natural products. DFT calculations revealed that the cycloaddition proceeds through a stepwise pathway and the imine nitrogen atom serves as the nucleophile to initiate the cycloaddition.
RESUMEN
The first example of direct fixation of sulfur dioxide between heteroaryls and aryl halides has been developed via copper-catalyzed regioselective cleavage of C-X and C-H bonds under base-free and ligand-free conditions by using DABSO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(sulfur dioxide)) as a solid and bench-stable sulfur dioxide surrogate. This mild protocol results in double C-S bond-forming reactions from simple precursors in the absence of prefunctionalized organometallic reagents, arenediazonium salts, and iodonium salts which extends the still limited number of sulfur dioxide fixation strategies.
RESUMEN

The reaction worked smoothly under metal-free conditions and afforded a wide range of sulfenylated 4-anilinocoumarins with potential bioactivity in moderate to excellent yields. This method would expand the still limited scope of synthesis methods for C-S bond formation using Bunte salts.

RESUMEN
Fluorescent light-up probes based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active molecules have recently attracted great research interest due to the intelligent fluorescence activation mechanism and high sensitivity. In this work, an AIE-silica nanosphere (SiO2 NP)-based label-free fluorescent aptasensor for the sensitive "turn-on" detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is reported for the first time. The positively charged amino-functionalized SiO2 NPs were used as efficient nanocapturer to electrostatically adsorb single-stranded PSA aptamer (PA) to form SiO2 NP-PA nanocomposite as well as adsorb negatively charged tetraphenylethylene derivative 3 (TPE3) to form AIE-SiO2 NP nanocomposite. The binding of the aptamer to the target PSA could induce a rigid aptamer conformation, resulting in the release of the PA away from the surface of SiO2 NPs. This made the AIE molecules TPE3 aggregate on the SiO2 NP surface and emit high fluorescence. With the advantages of simple design and rapid responses, the proposed aptasensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity for PSA with a detection limit of 0.5 ng/mL. The aptasensor was further applied in human serum samples with satisfactory results. Given its versatility, high selectivity, and sensitivity, the proposed method could be extended to other targets by varying the recognition probes. Graphical abstract An AIE-SiO2 NP-based label-free fluorescent aptasensor for the sensitive "turn-on" detection of PSA is reported for the first time.

RESUMEN
A simple and efficient one-pot NBS/DBU-mediated method has been developed for the synthesis of α-acyloxyketones from various benzylic secondary alcohols and carboxylic acids. Through this methodology, a series of α-acyloxyketones could be obtained in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. Importantly, this new reaction avoids the direct usage of toxic metal catalysts or potentially dangerous peroxide oxidants.
RESUMEN
Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative Heck-type coupling of 3-chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acids with styrenes have been developed as an efficient strategy for the construction of functionalized benzo[b]thiophenes. Theoretical analysis shows that AgCl generated during the reaction, instead of Pd, π-coordinates with the carboxyl O atom, making easy the rate-determining CO2 dissociation. The divergent reactivities of the Cl-substituted and H-substituted 3-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acids are mainly due to the presence of the Cl substituent, which reduces the adjacent π-π interplay, thereby significantly contributing to decarboxylation. Therefore, the presence of both AgCl and the Cl substituent are of key importance in ensuring the occurrence of the reaction under the given conditions.
RESUMEN
A silver-catalyzed double-decarboxylative protocol has been proposed for the construction of chalcone derivatives via cascade coupling of substituted α-keto acids with cinnamic acids under the mild aqueous conditions. The developed method for constructing C-C bonds via double-decarboxylative reactions is efficient, practical, and environmentally benign by using the readily available starting materials. It should provide a promising synthesis candidate for the formation of diverse and useful chalcone derivatives in the fields of synthetic and pharmaceutical chemistry.
