Controlled Electron Transfer: Development of Type I Photosensitizers through Energy Storage Pump Integration Strategy to Induce Long-term Tumor Immune Memory

Controlled Electron Transfer: Development of Type I Photosensitizers through Energy Storage Pump Integration Strategy to Induce Long-term Tumor Immune Memory

1. Research Background In recent years, various tumor treatment methods, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and photodynamic therapy (PDT), have received widespread attention in the biomedical field. Among them, PDT kills cancer cells by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the light activation of photosensitizers (PS), which is favored in clinical tumor treatment due to minimal … Read more

Stereodivergent Synthesis of Allylic All-Carbon Quaternary Centers by Bimetallic Iridium/Magnesium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation

Stereodivergent Synthesis of Allylic All-Carbon Quaternary Centers by Bimetallic Iridium/Magnesium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation

The research team led by Liu Yangbin from Peking University and Feng Xiaoming from Sichuan University optimized conditions using benzothiazole acetamide and trisubstituted allylic carbonates, successfully applying the “iridium/magnesium cooperative catalysis strategy” to the asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction of trisubstituted allylic electrophiles with non-cyclic nucleophiles (α-benzothiazole acetamide). Abstract The stereodivergent synthesis of structural motifs bearing … Read more
