Mesoporous carbon derived from natural vitamin B12 is applied for the first time in organic synthesis and exhibits exceptionally high dual activity for imine formation via the cross-coupling of alcohols with amines and the self-coupling of primary amines.

<p>High performance liquid chromatography was used to develop and validate the detection of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> in blood plasma sample. The mobile phase consists of a mixture of 0.025% trifluroacetic acid in deionized water and 30% methanol. The mixture used was adjusted to pH 2.9 and the flow rate was adjusted to 0.5 mL/min. The separation was achieved using C18 column maintained at 30ºC temperature and detection of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> was conducted at maximum wavelength 230 nm.</p><p><strong>Video Clip of Methodology</strong>:</p><p>Estimation of vitamin B12 in plasma by HPLC: 4 min 29 sec   <a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/0eMxqsdDtlE">Full Screen</a>   <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eMxqsdDtlE">Alternate</a></p>

: ''Chan-Evans-Lam'' (CEL) reaction is the copper-mediated cross-coupling of N-nucleophiles with boronic acids that was independently reported in 1998 by Chan, Evans, and Lam for the first time. This reaction is accomplished at room temperature with a remarkably wide range of nucleophiles. In the recent decade, it has been particularly attractive as a convenient method for constructing the various C–N bonds in organic synthesis. Therefore, a comprehensive survey through all reported process was crucial. In this review, we summarized research progress about N-Arylation, based on the type of N-nucleophile involved in this reaction and catalysts from 2012 onwards.

Human urine is universal unused waste material that is regularly disposed of by the human body. We, for the first time, presented an economically beneficial, sustainable, and novel route to synthesize mesoporous human urine carbon (HUC)-containing heteroatoms, i.e., C, Na, Cl, N, S, and P, using a human urine waste. The as-synthesized HUC were envisaged for their structural elucidation, morphology evolution, crystal structure, functional bonding, and elemental composition analyses through various sophisticated technologies. The HUC catalyst had a moderately crystalline nature due to the graphitic phase of carbon with a particle size of 20–50 nm, which was successfully used to synthesizing chromenes, 1,8-di-oxo-octahydroxanthenes, and benzypyrazolylcoumarin and biscoumarin derivatives through a one-pot multicomponent reaction with 20 mg of catalyst in EtOH/H2O solvent. This eco-friendly and simple method offers numerous advantages such as easy purification, clean reaction, and excellent yield for organic synthesis. The HUC catalyst can be recycled ten times and reused multiple times after activation without affecting catalytic performance.

Nb18W8O69 (9Nb2O5×8WO3) is the tungsten-rich end-member of the Wadsley–Roth crystallographic shear (cs) structures within the Nb2O5–WO3 series. It has the largest block size of any known, stable Wadsley–Roth phase, comprising 5 ´ 5 units of corner-shared MO6 octahedra between the shear planes, giving rise to 2 nm ´ 2 nm blocks. Rapid lithium intercalation is observed in this new candidate battery material and 7Li pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy – measured in a battery electrode for the first time at room temperature – reveals superionic lithium conductivity. In addition to its promising rate capability, Nb18W8O69 adds a piece to the larger picture of our understanding of high-performance Wadsley–Roth complex metal oxides.

<div>The first total synthesis of rhabdastrellic acid A, a highly cytotoxic isomalabaricane triterpenoid, has been accomplished in a linear sequence of 14 steps from commercial geranylacetone. The prominently strained <i>trans-syn-trans</i>-perhydrobenz[<i>e</i>]indene core characteristic of the isomalabaricanes is efficiently accessed in a selective manner for the first time through a rapid, complexity-generating sequence incorporating a reductive radical polyene cyclization, an unprecedented oxidative Rautenstrauch cycloisomerization, and umpolung 𝛼-substitution of a <i>p</i>-toluenesulfonylhydrazone with in situ reductive transposition. A late-stage cross-coupling in concert with a modular approach to polyunsaturated side chains renders this a general strategy for the synthesis of numerous family members of these synthetically challenging and hitherto inaccessible marine triterpenoids.</div>

Background: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), an oncogenic protein found constitutively active in many types of human malignancies, is considered to be a promising target for cancer therapy. Objective: In this study for the first time, a simple and accurate method has been developed for the determination of a STAT3 dimerization inhibitor called stattic in aqueous and plasma samples. Methods: A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) composed of C18 column as stationary phase, and the mixture of acetonitrile (60%) and water (40%) as mobile phase with a UV detection at 215 nm were applied for quantification of stattic. The developed method was validated by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guideline. Results: The method provided a linear range between 1-40 and 2.5-40 µg mL-1 for aqueous and plasma samples, respectively, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The accuracy (as recovery) of the developed method was found to be between 95-105% for aqueous medium and 85-115% for plasma samples. The precision (as relative standard deviation) for aqueous and plasma samples was less than 6% and 15%, respectively. The sensitivity of the developed method based on FDA guideline was 1 µg mL-1 for aqueous and 2.5 µg mL-1 for plasma samples. Conclusion: These results show that the established method is a fast and accurate quantification for stattic in aqueous and plasma samples.
