Fingerprint development is one of the most useful techniques in forensic investigation. The powder method is widely used, as it consists of a non-destructive testing. However, some of the powders commonly used are toxic and dangerous to human health. In this sense, monofunctional analogues of curcumin (3a–e) are proposed as novel coloring powders for the development of latent fingerprints. Granulometric and scanning electron microscopy analysis were performed for a better understanding of the interaction between developers and substrates. The best results for the development of fingerprints were obtained with compound (1E,4E)-1,5-di-p-tolylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one (3b). Development with this compound was specific and allowed detection both from male and female donors. Also, in an in vitro experiment, compound 3b presented low cytotoxicity in a mammalian cell line. Based on that, a novel alternative for latent fingerprint developers was proposed.

Ionic Liquids (ILs) self-assemble to form supramolecular polymeric clusters/aggregates. The aggregation behavior of ILs influences its activity in the organic synthesis. However, the precise role of ILs in organic reactions is still unknown. It is, therefore, important to comprehend the supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior of ILs. We are exploring the supramolecular polymeric aggregation behavior of ILs using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). We have synthesized four hydrophilic ILs (1–4) and investigated their aggregation behavior and its impact on catalytic activity in Carbon-Carbon bond formation (Knoevenagel and Claisen-Schmidt condensation). Here, we show that the aggregation behavior of ILs depends on the type and nature of cation and anion. ESI-MS (?ve) spectra reveals two different type of aggregation i.e. [CnAn+1]? & [A2 + H+]?. We have found that catalytic activity increases with increased [CnAn+1]? supramolecular aggregation. Consequently, highest yield of products obtained in ILs which show decreased anion-anion aggregation [A2 + H+]? abundance in ESI-MS. We anticipate our results to be a starting point for the establishment of desired ILs for organic synthesis.

The first general synthesis of compounds of the tetravinylethylene (TVE) family is reported. Ramirez-type dibromo-olefination of readily accessible penta-1,4-dien-3-ones generates 3,3-dibromo[3]dendralenes, which undergo twofold Negishi, Suzuki–Miyaura or Mizoroki–Heck reactions with a wide variety of olefinic coupling partners. This route delivers a broad range of unsymmetrically substituted tetravinylethylenes with up to three different alkenyl substituents attached to the central C=C bond. The extensive scope of the approach is demonstrated by the preparation of the first higher order oligo-alkenic through-conjugated/cross-conjugated hybrid compounds. An unsymmetrically substituted TVE is shown to undergo a domino electrocyclization–cycloaddition with high site-selectivity and diastereoselectivity, thereby demonstrating the substantial synthetic potential of substituted TVEs for controlled, rapid structural complexity generation.
