Literature Sharing | J. Am. Chem. Soc. | Alkynyl Platinum Complex Self-Assembly for Sialic Acid Detection and Differentiation of Cancer Cells from Normal Cells

The team led by Ren Yonghua at the University of Hong Kong designed and synthesized a series of platinum(II) complexes containing histidine moieties or positively charged groups to explore the specific binding and sensing capabilities of platinum(II) complexes with analytes. These complexes are used to visualize changes in sialic acid within cells, distinguishing between normal … Read more

The Perfect Flawless Quasi-Suzuki Coupling Mechanism

The Perfect Flawless Quasi-Suzuki Coupling Mechanism

From J. Am. Chem. Soc. Hi, everyone! As chemists, what does your ideal coupling reaction look like? I believe it should be like this: first, the reaction should have a simple system; second, the reagents should have no absorption and not interfere with monitoring; then, the reaction should not be sensitive to water or oxygen; … Read more

Synthesis of Stereocontrolled Azetidine Library via Strain-Release Functionalization of 1-Azabicyclobutanes

Synthesis of Stereocontrolled Azetidine Library via Strain-Release Functionalization of 1-Azabicyclobutanes

Image source: J. Am. Chem. Soc.Introduction: Professors Benjamin F. Cravatt and Phil S. Baran developed a concise, modular, and programmable synthetic strategy based on strain-release functionalization reactions for constructing structurally complex stereopure nitrogen-containing bicyclic compounds known as Azetidine. This synthetic method allows for the parallel preparation of nitrogen-containing bicyclic compounds with defined stereostructures, which is … Read more

6 Key Steps to Successfully Establish a 24/7 Internal Security Operations Center (SOC)

6 Key Steps to Successfully Establish a 24/7 Internal Security Operations Center (SOC)

Hackers never sleep, so how can enterprises afford to let their defenses down? Attackers particularly favor launching attacks during non-working hours—when security personnel are fewer, significantly delaying incident response and resolution times. When retail giant Marks & Spencer faced a security incident over the Easter weekend, its e-commerce platform, which accounted for one-third of its … Read more
