[PMID: 38799311 PMCID: PMC11112589 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
A novel nontoxic method for processing energetic binder, namely, polyglycidyl nitrate (PGN), using Aza-Michael reactions for deriving high-performance explosive formulations is being reported. The polyol binders used in polymer-bonded explosives (PBX) including PGN are usually cross-linked using isocyanate leading to polyurethane (PU)-based cured solid networks. These reactions require mild reaction conditions and yield good mechanical properties for the PBX but remain challenging due to extraneous reactions of isocyanate resulting in defects in the cured blocks. In addition, the presence of nitrato groups in the vicinity of terminal hydroxyl groups of PGN results in the decuring of cross-linked urethane that affects the storage life of PBX, though PGN-based binder can provide an 18% improvement in the velocity of detonation of PBX at lower solid loadings of 70%. This prevents researchers from exploiting the major performance advantage of using PGN for PBX compositions. This article herein features a green and mild aza-Michael reaction for functional modification of PGN using readily available substrates and triethylene tetramine to form a cross-linked β-aminocarbonyl network. The methodology ensures a void-free, stable, cured network and offers an effective replacement for toxic cure chemistry currently employed for processing of PBX.

Abstract
16α-Azolyl-pregnenolone derivatives were prepared via 2-butyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (n-Bu-TMG) catalysed aza-Michael addition of 16-dehydropregnenolone (16-DHP) carried out in [bmim][BF4]. The application of the guanidine base and the imidazolium ionic liquid made it possible to recycle not only the catalyst/solvent mixture but also the excess of the N-heterocyclic reagent. By the introduction of CO2 at the end of the reaction, both the guanidine base and the unreacted (excess) reagent could be converted into ionic species that remained dissolved in the ionic liquid phase, while the steroid components were extracted with an apolar solvent. After the removal of CO2, the experiment could be repeated by the addition of the steroid substrate and only an equimolar amount of the N-heterocycle. The methodology was successfully applied to a number of N-heterocycles, such as imidazole, pyrazole, 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles, and benzimidazole. Indazole and indole could also be converted into the corresponding products, but a stronger base had to be used to obtain a recyclable system.

Abstract
AbstractPoly(ether)s represent an important class of polymers and are typically formed by ring-opening polymerization, Williamson ether synthesis, or self-condensation of alcohols. The oxa-Michael reaction presents another method to form poly(ether)s with additional functional groups in the polymer backbone starting from di- or triols and electron deficient olefins such as acrylates, sulfones, or acrylamides. However, research on oxa-Michael polymerization is still limited. Herein, we outline the principles of the oxa-Michael polymerization and focus on the synthesis and preparation of poly(ether-sulfone)s, poly(ether-ester)s, poly(ether)s, and poly(ether-amide)s. Further, challenges as well as future perspectives of the oxa-Michael polymerization are discussed.

Abstract
With the aim of gaining understanding of the molecular basis of commercially available Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) immobilized on polyacrylic resin catalyzed regioselective mono aza-Michael addition of Benzhydrazide to Diethyl maleate we decided to carry out molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies in parallel with our experimental study. We found a correlation between the activity of CALB and the choice of solvent. Our study showed that solvent affects the performance of the enzyme due to the binding of solvent molecules to the enzyme active site region, and the solvation energy of substrates in the different solvents. We also found that CALB is only active in nonpolar solvent (i.e. Hexane), and therefore we investigated the influence of Hexane on the catalytic activity of CALB for the reaction. The results of this study and related experimental validation from our studies have been discussed here.

Abstract
The emergence of 3D bioprinting has allowed a variety of hydrogel-based "bioinks" to be printed in the presence of cells to create precisely defined cell-loaded 3D scaffolds in a single step for advancing tissue engineering and/or regenerative medicine. While existing bioinks based primarily on ionic cross-linking, photo-cross-linking, or thermogelation have significantly advanced the field, they offer technical limitations in terms of the mechanics, degradation rates, and the cell viabilities achievable with the printed scaffolds, particularly in terms of aiming to match the wide range of mechanics and cellular microenvironments. Click chemistry offers an appealing solution to this challenge given that proper selection of the chemistry can enable precise tuning of both the gelation rate and the degradation rate, both key to successful tissue regeneration; simultaneously, the often bio-orthogonal nature of click chemistry is beneficial to maintain high cell viabilities within the scaffolds. However, to date, relatively few examples of 3D-printed click chemistry hydrogels have been reported, mostly due to the technical challenges of controlling mixing during the printing process to generate high-fidelity prints without clogging the printer. This review aims to showcase existing cross-linking modalities, characterize the advantages and disadvantages of different click chemistries reported, highlight current examples of click chemistry hydrogel bioinks, and discuss the design of mixing strategies to enable effective 3D extrusion bioprinting of click hydrogels.

Abstract
We describe a general strategy for the aza-Michael addition of nucleophilic heterocycles into β-substituted acrylates using potassium tert-butoxide as catalyst. Demonstrating that the reaction is under thermodynamic control underpins optimization efforts and enables rapid exploration of the substrate scope, with yields ranging from 55% to 94%. We further leverage these lessons in a significantly shortened synthesis of MK-0429, a potent pan-integrin inhibitor previously taken into human clinical trials for the treatment of prostate cancer and osteoporosis.

Abstract
A tetraimidazole-decorating tetraphenylpyrazine has been designed and utilized for the fabrication of a novel metal-organic framework (MOF), denoted as {Mn(Tipp)(A)2}n·2H2O (TippMn, where Tipp = 2,3,5,6-tetrakis[4-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]phenyl]pyrazine and A = deprotonation of 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid), through hydrothermal synthesis. Structural analysis reveals that TippMn possesses a 2-fold-interpenetrated 4,8-connected three-dimensional (3D) network with an unprecedented {416·612}{44·62} topology. Fluorescent spectral investigations indicate that TippMn shows discriminative fluorescence when treated by Cr3+ and Cu2+, giving an INHIBIT logical gate performance. Meanwhile, TippMn can be further used as a sensor for MnO4- and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) by fluorescence quenching. Notably, the sensing processes toward Cu2+, Cr3+, MnO4-, and TNP are labeled with high selectivity and sensitivity, quick response, and good recyclability. It is anticipated that this MOF-based versatile sensor could shed light on the exploration of MOFs for fluorescent sensors, optical switches, etc.

Abstract
This review focuses on the catalyst- and additive-free C-C bond forming reactions reported mostly from the year 2005 to date. C-C bond forming reactions are highly important as large and complex organic molecules can be derived from simpler ones via these reactions. On the other hand, catalyst- and additive-free reactions are economical, environmentally friendly and less sensitive to air/moisture, allow easy separation of products and are operationally simple. Hence, a large number of research articles have been published in this area. Though a few reviews are available on the catalyst-free organic reactions, most of them were published a few years ago. The current review excludes catalysts as well as additives and is specific to only C-C bond formation. Besides many organic name reactions, catalyst/additive-free C-H functionalizations, coupling reactions and UV-visible-light-promoted reactions are also discussed. Undoubtedly, the contents of this review will motivate readers to do more novel work in this area which will accelerate the journey towards a sustainable future.

Abstract
The question of whether COVID protease (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro) can be blocked by inhibitors has been examined, with a particularly successful performance exhibited by α-ketoamide derivative substrates like 13b of Hilgenfeld and co-workers (Zhang, L., et al. Science 2020, 368, 409-412). After the biological characterization, here density functional theory calculations explain not only how inhibitor 13b produces a thermodynamically favorable interaction but also how to reach it kinetically. The controversial and unprovable concept of aromaticity here enjoys being the agent that rationalizes the seemingly innocent role of histidine (His41 of Mpro). It has a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group and is the proton carrier of the thiol of Cys145 at almost zero energy cost that favors the interaction with the inhibitor that acts as a Michael acceptor.
