https://www.selleckchem.com/products/mpp-dihydrochloride.html Two nitrogen-rich azo-bridged porphyrin porous organic polymers (Azo-Por-Bpy-POP and Azo-Por-Dadp-POP) with high surface areas were prepared by coupling 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-nitrophenyl)-porphyrin with the aromatic amines of 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-diamine (Bpy) and diaminodiphenyl (Dadp). Azo-Por-Bpy-POP and Azo-Por-Dadp-POP display high photocatalytic reduction activity for CO2 to CO under visible-light irradiation without a sacrificial reagent or metal co-catalyst. Azo-Por-Bpy-POP exhibits the highest photoreduction for CO2 with CO as the only carbonaceous reduction product with a production rate of 38.75 μmol g-1 h-1. Theoretical investigations indicate a stronger electrostatic interaction between CO2 and Azo-Por-Bpy-POP than Azo-Por-Dadp-POP, which favors CO2 photoreduction.Asymmetric catalysis is a rapidly growing field in modern organic chemistry and has been indispensable for the synthesis of enantioenriched materials to meet demands from the academies to pharmaceutical industries. Asymmetric dearomative cyclization catalyzed by transition metals has been a hot research area in the last decade. Fascinated by its ability to construct sterically hindered quaternary stereogenic center(s) through dearomatization and simultaneously forging new ring structure(s) through cyclization, palladium-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative cyclization has been applied to the synthesis of structurally complicated natural products and it is increasingly prevalent in the literature. In particular, the resultant product from dearomative cyclization, which usually carries one or more unsaturated C-C bond(s), allows further functional group transformations. Previously reported applications of palladium-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative cyclization in natural product synthesis are presented here and discussed in depth.Arsenolipids include a wide range of organic arsenic species that occur naturally in seafood and thereby contribut
