Emission, excitation and absorption spectra of a new and short polyene, 2-(4-phenyl-1,3-butadien-1-yl)thiophene (PBT), have been measured under different conditions by varying temperature and solvent and in the vapor phase, along with those of 2-(2-phenyl

E-alkenes were synthesized with up to 100 % E/Z selectivity via ruthenium-catalyzed partial hydrogenation of different aliphatic and aromatic alkynes under transfer-hydrogenation conditions. Paraformaldehyde as a safe, cheap and easily available solid hydrogen carrier was used for the first time as hydrogen source in the presence of water for transfer-hydrogenation of alkynes. Optimization reactions showed the best results for the commercially available binuclear [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 complex as pre-catalyst in combination with 2,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1-binaphthyl (BINAP) as ligand (1 : 1 ratio per Ru monomer to ligand). Mechanistic investigations showed that the origin of E-selectivity in this reaction is the fast Z to E isomerization of the formed alkenes. Mild reaction conditions plus the use of cheap, easily available and safe materials as well as simple setup and inexpensive catalyst turn this protocol into a feasible and promising stereo complementary procedure to the well-known Z-selective Lindlar reduction in late-stage syntheses. This procedure can also be used for the production of deuterated alkenes simply using d2-paraformaldehyde and D2O mixtures.
Palladium Loaded Dendronized Polymer as Efficient Polymeric Sustainable Catalyst for Heck Coupling Reaction

The palladium incorporated amine-functionalized dendronized polymer was synthesized by the addition of palladium acetate to dendronized polymer in methanol at room temperature. Palladium species are immobilized onto the dendritic structure by their coordination with amino functional groups. The newly developed dendritic system showed high palladium content in the low generation level itself, which was found to be 4.19?mmol/g. This was fairly higher than, the other palladium-based catalysts. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to confirm the successful synthesis of the new catalyst. It was used as a homogeneous palladium catalyst for Heck coupling reaction between olefins and differently substituted aryl halides and the products were isolated in high yield. The products isolated were in trans configuration, which indicated the selectivity of the newly developed catalytic system. Also, this catalyst system was reused up to nine times without a significant decrease in its catalytic activity. The easy accessibility of catalytic sites, stability, resistance to metal leaching, high catalytic activity and remarkable stereoselectivity with a low amount of catalyst are all due to the dendritic support. The docking study was carried out for all the stilbene derivatives obtained by the Heck coupling reaction against DprE1 protein to study its potential antitubercular activity. All the compounds displayed superior docking score values over the range ??6.5 to ??8.2?kcal/mol, compared to the standard drug isoniazid with docking score of ??6.1?kcal/mol against DprE1.
