(Figure Presented) Defying conventional wisdom: Ionic liquids (ILs) with long, unsaturated alkyl appendages (see top structure) defy established trends that link long ion-bound alkyl groups to higher melting points. The new ILs are also less viscous than a saturated standard (see bottom structure) at the same temperature. These features parallel those that underpin homeoviscous adaptation in certain organisms and are indirectly supportive of a fluid-mosaiclike nanoscale character.

A facile iodination protocol of unactivated alkyl fluorides using catalytic amounts of YbI3(THF)3 in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane as a stoichiometric fluoride trapping agent is presented. 1H NMR spectroscopy demonstrates a two-step catalytic cycle where TMSI regenerates active YbI3(THF)3. Finally, the catalytic reaction is extended into a one-pot procedure to demonstrate a potential application of the method. Overall, the findings present a distinct strategy for C-F bond transformations in the presence of catalytic YbI3(THF)3.

A new, highly efficient in situ protocol (Cp2ZrCl2/LiAlH(OBu-t)3) is described for the generation of the Schwartz reagent which provides a convenient method for the amide to aldehyde reduction and the regioselective hydrozirconation-iodination of alkynes and alkenes. Highlighted are chemoselective reductions of benzamides derived by directed ortho metalation (DoM) chemistry, allowing the synthesis of valuable 1,2,3-substituted benzaldehydes. The single-step, three-component process proceeds in a very short reaction time, shows excellent functional group compatibility, and uses inexpensive and long-storage stable reducing reagents.
