This work discloses a novel and efficient protocol for the construction of functionalized chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives from the Blaise reaction intermediates and 3-cyanocoumarins through a CuCl2-catalyzed sequential Michael addition/intramolecular cyclization/oxidative aromatization reaction. This new method shows the advantages of mild reaction conditions, easy workup, nonchromatographic purification technique, good functional group tolerance, and moderate to good yields.

Mechanoenzymes are enzymes which use a chemical reaction to power directed movement along biological polymer. Such enzymes include the cytoskeletal motors (e.g., myosins, dyneins, and kinesins) as well as nucleic acid polymerases and helicases. A single catalytic turnover of a mechanoenzyme moves the enzyme molecule along the polymer a distance on the order of 10−9 m We have developed light microscope and digital image processing methods to detect and measure nanometer-scale motions driven by single mechanoenzyme molecules. These techniques enable one to monitor the occurrence of single reaction steps and to measure the lifetimes of reaction intermediates in individual enzyme molecules. This information can be used to elucidate reaction mechanisms and determine microscopic rate constants. Such an approach circumvents difficulties encountered in the use of traditional transient-state kinetics techniques to examine mechanoenzyme reaction mechanisms.

<p>The analysis presented in this manuscript helps bridge an important fundamental discrepancy between the existing theoretical and experimental knowledge regarding the performance of Ag catalysts for CO<sub>2</sub> electrochemical reduction (CO<sub>2</sub>ER). The results demonstrate how the intermediate species *OCHO is formed readily en-route the HCOO<sup>– </sup>pathway and plays a decisive role in determining selectivity of a predominantly CO producing catalyst such as Ag. Our theoretical and experimental approach develops a better understanding of the nature of competition as well as the complex interactions between the reaction intermediates leading to CO, HCOO<sup>–</sup> and H<sub>2</sub> during CO<sub>2</sub>ER.</p><p><br></p><p>Details of computational and experimental methods are present in the Supporting Information provided. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

We have explored the reactions of tetrahydro-4H-selenochromenes in the presence of phosphoric pentachloride, and synthesized new condensate aroylbenzoselenophenes. During the reactions, tetrahydro-4H-selenochromenes with phosphoric pentachloride underwent oxidative aromatization and nucleophilic substitution for a chlorine atom of one of the protons in the alicyclic fragment. Also, the narrowing of the heterocyclic fragment occurred as in synthesized selenium-containing compounds earlier transformed into the corresponding condensate aroylbenzoselenophenes.
