RESUMEN
Mild and efficient ruthenium-catalyzed hydroxy-arylation of the terminal double bond of N-substituted 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones is described. The reaction takes place with aryl diazonium salt as the arylating reagent and water as the hydroxyl source in visible light at ambient temperature. The strategy entails vicinal difunctionalization of alkene and enables construction of 3-benzyl-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-one heterocyclic scaffolds in moderate to good yields. C-C and C-O bonds are formed in one pot without any external additive and oxidant through an in situ generation of a carbocation intermediate in green light.
RESUMEN
The widespread COVID-19 pandemic, caused by novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has emanated as one of the most life-threatening transmissible diseases. Currently, the repurposed drugs such as remdesivir, azithromycine, chloroquine, and hydroxychloroquine are being employed in the management of COVID-19 but their adverse effects are a matter of concern. In this regard, alternative treatment options i.e., traditional medicine, medicinal plants, and their phytochemicals, which exhibit significant therapeutic efficacy and show a low toxicity profile, are being explored. The current review aims at unraveling the promising medicinal plants, phytochemicals, and traditional medicines against SARS-CoV-2 to discover phytomedicines for the management of COVID-19 on the basis of their potent antiviral activities against coronaviruses, as demonstrated in various biochemical and computational chemical biology studies. The review consists of integrative and updated information on the potential traditional medicines against COVID-19 and will facilitate researchers to develop traditional medicines for the management of COVID-19.
RESUMEN
In this work, we have addressed the problem of "acidity" of the water-pool of a reverse micelle (RM) through the well-known inversion of sucrose reaction as a tool of investigation. This reaction has been performed inside positively and negatively charged RM and the rates are compared with that in bulk water. We propose that the buffer-like action in a water-pool is much stronger than expected earlier. The rate of sucrose hydrolysis slowed down in the negatively charged AOT reverse micelle while it sped up for the positively charged CTAB reverse micelle. However, temperature-dependent measurements showed that the activation energy remained the same for all the cases. It has been concluded that a proton gradient exists inside the water-pool of the reverse micelle and it determines the buffer-like action of the water-pool that persists until about 2 N of HCl in AOT RM of w(0) = 10.5.
RESUMEN
A very efficient route to the diastereoselective synthesis of polyhydroxy pyrrolidines, piperidines and azepanes from an aldehyde derivative of ribose is reported. Asymmetric α-amination of aldehydes using proline catalysed hydrazination is the key step in the synthesis. The method utilizes the stereocenters present in ribose and the extra carbon atoms present in the target molecules are incorporated using Wittig reactions. The incorporation of the amino group is carried out asymmetrically to account for additional stereocenters. This synthetic route to iminocyclitols has the potential to be extended for the synthesis of a large class of such compounds starting from other sugar derived aldehydes.

We report a design and fabrication strategy for creating an artificially stacked multilayered optical filters using a thermal evaporation technique. We have selectively chosen a zinc sulphide (ZnS) lattice for the high refractive index (n = 2.35) layer and a magnesium fluoride (MgF2) lattice as the low refractive index (n = 1.38) layer. Furthermore, the microstructures of the ZnS/MgF2 multilayer films are also investigated through TEM and HRTEM imaging. The fabricated filters consist of high and low refractive 7 and 13 alternating layers, which exhibit a reflectance of 89.60% and 99%, respectively. The optical microcavity achieved an average transmittance of 85.13% within the visible range. The obtained results suggest that these filters could be an exceptional choice for next-generation antireflection coatings, high-reflection mirrors, and polarized interference filters.
