Highly efficient synthesis of polyfluorinated dendrons suitable for click chemistry

A new and efficient access to C_2v-symmetric dendrons with up to 72 magnetically equivalent fluorine atoms is presented. Those dendrons are well suited to act as potential ¹⁹F MRI probes.

A click chemistry approach to site-specific immobilization of a small laccase enables efficient direct electron transfer in a biocathode

Controlled orientation of a small laccase on a multi-walled carbon nanotube electrode was achieved via copper-free click chemistry mediated immobilization.

The impact of 1,2,3-triazoles in the design of functional coatings

This review article presents an overview of the application of 1,2,3-triazoles in the design of various high performance organic coatings with properties like anti-corrosive, anti-microbial, self-healing, hybrid nanocomposite, bio degradableetc.

Highly efficient click reaction on water catalyzed by a ruthenium complex

Reactivity of ruthenium-catalyzed click reaction has been enhanced greatly by using H₂O as the solvent.

Copper malonamide complexes and their use in azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions

A series of copper(i) malonamide complexes have been synthesised and their catalytic activity explored in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions: the first time this ligand motif has been reported in a catalytic transformation.

One-pot three-component synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles from 1-copper(i) alkyne, azide and molecular iodine

The desired 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized conveniently without using the pre-made 1-iodoalkynes as substrates.

Synthesis of new betulinic acid–peptide conjugates and in vivo and in silico studies of the influence of peptide moieties on the triterpenoid core activity

Betulinic acid–peptide conjugates exhibit high anti-inflammatory activity.

Investigation into the reactivity of 16-electron complexes Cp#Co(S2C2B10H10) (Cp# = Cp, Cp*) towards methyl diazoacetate and toluenesulphonyl azide

A three-component reaction of the 16-electron half-sandwich complex Cp*Co(S₂C₂B₁₀H₁₀) (2) with both methyl diazoacetate (MDA) and toluenesulphonyl azide (TsN₃) led to the formation of complexes 3 and 4, while a two-component reaction of complex 2 with MDA afforded products 5–7.
