Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are subjects of broad interest in scientific community due to their promising physicochemical properties. Herein we report the facile and controlled light-mediated preparation of gold nanoparticles through a Norrish type I reaction of photoactive polymers. These carefully designed polymers act as reagents for the photochemical reduction of gold ions, as well as stabilizers for the in situ generated AuNPs. Manipulating the length and composition of the photoactive polymers allows for control of AuNP size. Nanoparticle diameter can be controlled from 1.5 nm to 9.6 nm. Instant preparation of Au nanoparticles! Mixing a photoactive polymer with HAuCl4 and NaOH in DMF/H2O and irradiating with light for a few minutes provides stable, spherical, polymer-coated Au nanoparticles with defined diameter. The diameter can be adjusted from 1.5 to 9.6 nm by varying the length and composition of the photoactive polymer.

A nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling has been achieved using (hetero)aryl bromides and vinyl acetate as the coupling partners. This mild, applicable method provides a reliable access to a variety of vinyl arenes, heteroarenes, and benzoheterocycles, which should expand the chemical space of precursors to fine chemicals and polymers. Importantly, a sustainable solvent, dimethyl isosorbide, is used, making this protocol more attractive from the point of view of green chemistry.

The xCT antiporter is a cell membrane protein involved in active counter-transportation of glutamate (outflux) with cystine (influx) over the human cell membrane. This feature makes the xCT antiporter a crucial element of the biosynthesis of the vital free radical scavenger glutathione. The prodrug sulfasalazine, a medication for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, was previously proven to inhibit the xCT antiporter. Starting from sulfasalazine, a molecular scaffold jumping followed by SAR-assisted design and synthesis provided a series of styryl hydroxy-benzoic acid analogues that were biologically tested in vitro for their ability to decrease intracellular glutathione levels using four different cancer cell lines: A172 (glioma), A375 (melanoma), U87 (glioma) and MCF7 (breast carcinoma). Depletion of glutathione levels varied among the compounds as well as among the cell lines. Flow cytometry using propidium iodide and the annexin V marker demonstrated minimal toxicity in normal human astrocytes for a promising candidate molecule (E)-5-(2-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)vinyl)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid.

The construction of C(sp3)-Si bonds is important in synthetic, medicinal, and materials chemistry. In this context, reactions mediated by silyl radicals have become increasingly attractive but methods for accessing these intermediates remain limited. We present a new strategy for silyl radical generation via electroreduction of readily available chlorosilanes. At highly biased potentials, electrochemistry grants access to silyl radicals through energetically uphill reductive cleavage of strong Si-Cl bonds. This strategy proved to be general in various alkene silylation reactions including disilylation, hydrosilylation, and allylic silylation under simple and transition-metal-free conditions.
