The nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides and alkyl halides enabled by ball-milling is herein described. Under a mechanochemical manifold, the reductive C-C bond formation was achieved in the absence of bulk solvent and air/moisture sensitive setups, in reaction times of 2 h. The mechanical action provided by ball milling permits the use of a range of zinc sources to turnover the nickel catalytic cycle, enabling the synthesis of 28 cross-electrophile coupled products.
RATIONALLY DESIGNED LAWSONE DERIVATIVES AS ANTIMICROBIALS AGAINST MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

Paragraph 0029-0030; 0033, (2021/03/05)
Naphthoquinone derivatives of Lawsone have been found to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Such compounds generally contain a substituent group at the 3-position of a specific naphthoquinone compound, i.e. 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone. One of these derivatives referred to as compound 6c in the series exhibits potent antimicrobial activity that is comparable to that of the two commercial antibiotics ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin against the two strains of methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA; ATCC 29213 and ATCC 6538). In the case of two strains of MRSA (ATCC BAA-44 and ATCC BAA-1717) that have developed drug resistance to both ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, the antimicrobial activity of 6c can almost rival that of vancomycin and daptomycin. Furthermore, 6c is also effective against vancomycin-intermediate and daptomycin non-susceptible strain of MRSA (ATCC 700699). Besides the efficacy, 6c has a much improved drug resistance profile in comparison with the conventional antibiotics.
Synthesis and characterization of π-extended porphyrins as potential precursors for the formation of columnar mesophases: Design principles for columnar mesophases need revision?

A series of meso-a bridged extended porphyrins substituted with long aliphatic chains were synthesized and fully characterized. Two different synthetic strategies were tested to obtain the target structures. The synthetic steps were optimized in order to obtain scalable routes for the production of sufficient quantities of η-extended porphyrins for material science studies. The porphyrins were obtained either as free bases or complexed with Ni II or CuII. UV-Vis spectroscopy and polarized light microscopy was used for the analysis of the material properties of the η-extended porphyrins. The results obtained with our compounds are not compatible with the results reported in the literature. ARKAT-USA, Inc.
