A series of compounds of with high birefringence containing alkoxy–phenylacetylene–isothiocyanato structure were synthesized and characterized. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H-NMR, and transition temperatures and birefringence were measured. One of these compounds with good liquid crystal property and high birefringence was mixed with host liquid crystal to form blend liquid crystal. The effects of the concentration of the compound on phase temperature range, birefringence, resistivity, dielectric anisotropy and photoelectric properties were discussed. The results showed that blend liquid crystal (with 7 wt% compound) exhibited excellent comprehensive performance.

The natural product albicidin is a highly potent inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase. Its outstanding activity, particularly against Gram-negative pathogens, qualifies it as a promising lead structure in the search for new antibacterial drugs. However, as we show here, the N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety of albicidin is susceptible to photochemical E/Z isomerization. Moreover, the newly formed Z isomer exhibits significantly reduced antibacterial activity, which hampers the development and biological evaluation of albicidin and potent derivatives thereof. Hence, we synthesized 13 different variants of albicidin in which the vulnerable para-coumaric acid moiety was replaced; this yielded photostable analogues. Biological activity assays revealed that diaryl alkyne analogues exhibited virtually undiminished antibacterial efficacy. This promising scaffold will therefore serve as a blueprint for the design of a potent albicidin-based drug.
Cu-mediated or metal-free alkylation of gem-dibromoalkenes with tertiary, secondary and primary alkyl Grignard reagents

A novel copper-mediated or transition-metal-free alkylation of gem-dibromoalkenes with tertiary, secondary and primary alkyl Grignard reagents was described. The outcomes of these reactions were found to be highly dependent on the reaction conditions and
