A Piers–Rubinsztajn reaction was key to enable a mild deprotection and a concise synthesis of 7-hydroxy cannabidiol from commercially available cannabidiol, in 31% overall yield.
Innovative macrocyclic 14-membered molecule (5) and tricyclic 18-8-18-membered-ring ladder-type siloxane-based compound (7), with sulfide units inserted in the backbone were prepared through B(C6F5)3-catalyzed Piers–Rubinsztajn reaction.
Bioactive glass is a potential biomaterial for bone reconstruction owing to its superior bioactivity and non-toxicity. In this study, spray-dried B-doped bioactive glass microspheres were fabricated, and enhanced in vitro bioactivity, osteoblast activity, and angiogenic activity were demonstrated.
B(C6F5)3 is a versatile Lewis acid with utility in a range of applications including olefin polymerization, metal-free catalysis, batteries, and organic electronics. This perspective highlights applications of B(C6F5)3 and presents alternatives.
The effect of the grain morphology on the photoluminescence, charge transfer band, and decay properties was investigated by xEu3+, yB3+ (x = 10 mol%, y = 0, 5, 15, 30, 50, 70, and 100 mol%) co-doped BaTa2O6 ceramics fabricated by solid-state reaction.
