https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cinchocaine.html A new imidazolium functionalized hexapodal polymeric receptor, [PHIm-Br], showed selective and efficient removal (>99%) of perrhenate (ReO4-), from 100% aqueous medium via solid-liquid extraction, which was 13% higher as compared to its monomeric analouge [HIm-Br]. Most importantly, [PHIm-Br] overcomes the drawback of [HIm-Br] in terms of removal of ReO4- at lower anion concentration of ∼100 ppm along with excellent radiation resistivity and reusability within a wide pH range, which implies its potential towards practical applications.An X-shaped double [7]heterohelicene 1 bearing four thiadiazole units is synthesized by regioselective cyclodehydrogenation. Enantiopure 1 exhibits excellent chiroptical properties with an impressive absorption dissymmetry factor of up to 0.027, as well as a compact π-stacked homochiral assembly which is unprecedented in the realm of double helicenes.A three-component and redox-neutral trifluoromethylative alkenylation of unactivated alkenes with β-nitrostyrenes has been developed under visible-light. This metal-free protocol utilizes the easy to handle Langlois reagent (CF3SO2Na) as the CF3 source and is suitable for various unactivated alkenes and β-nitrostyrenes, affording a series of trifluoromethylated aromatic alkenes under mild conditions in good to excellent yields.Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric functionalization of unbiased methylene C(sp3)-H bonds is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report a Pd(ii)-catalyzed highly enantioselective arylation of unbiased methylene C(sp3)-H bonds enabled by a strongly coordinating bidentate 2-pyridinylisopropyl (PIP) directing group and an easily accessible 3,3'-F2-BINOL chiral ligand. The use of aryl iodides with the combination of 3,3'-F2-BINOL was beneficial for high enantiocontrol. A range of aliphatic amides and aryl iodides were tolerated, providing the desired arylated products in high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). The PIP d
