    No full text
    A highly stereoselective approach to novel tetrasubstituted (Z)-β-hydroxy-α-TMS silyl enol ethers is described. The reaction proceeds via a sequential addition/[1,2]-Brook rearrangement/epoxide-opening process of TMS-substituted oxiranyl anions with acylsilanes

    Efficient Approach to 3,3-Bissilyl Carbonyl and Enol Derivatives via Retro-[1,4] Brook Rearrangement of 3-Silyl Allyloxysilanes

    A facile and highly stereoselective retro-[1,4] Brook rearrangement of 3-silyl allyloxysilanes has been discovered. While basic hydrolysis of the formed (Z)-3,3-bissilyl lithium enolates provides 3,3-bissilyl carbonyl compounds efficiently, trapping the species with various electrophiles including alkyl halides leads to the exclusive O-substituted (Z)-3,3-bissilyl enol derivatives that can undergo a Sakurai reaction with aldehyde to produce the synthetically useful 1,2-diol diastereoselectively

    Binary–Ternary Bi<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>–AgBiS<sub>2</sub> Rod-to-Rod Transformation via Anisotropic Partial Cation Exchange Reaction

    Nanoscale chemical transformations based on partial cation exchange reactions are known as a component-increased, shape-maintaining means for the design and tunable preparation of ternary or multinary metal chalcogenide compounds. Herein, we present a new material couple, Bi2S3–AgBiS2, to detail the binary–ternary chemical transformation via partial cation exchange and its reaction thermodynamics and kinetics. The preformed Bi2S3 nanorods (NRs) act as both the reactant and the parent template, within which the partial exchange of Bi3+ with Ag+ cations proceeds under a silver-rich, diffusion-controlled regime, leading to the formation of energetically favorable AgBiS2. The NR shape preservation involving sulfur sublattice rearrangement is due to the proper diameter thickness (∼12 nm) of parent Bi2S3 NRs and the rapid establishment of equilibrium-phase AgBiS2, as supported by X-ray diffraction measurements and the pseudobinary Ag2S–Bi2S3 phase diagram. Interestingly, the finding of a AgBiS2–Bi2S3–AgBiS2 intermediate with axially segmented heterostructures reveals the real NR-to-NR conversion trajectory and the shape-induced exchange reaction anisotropy at the ends and middle of Bi2S3 NRs. Additionally, the resultant AgBiS2 NRs with a measured band gap of ∼0.86 eV exhibit potential for photoelectronic applications because of their impressive visible–near-infrared absorption and photoconductivity

    DataSheet_1_Lineage-level species distribution model to assess the impact of climate change on the habitat suitability of Boleophthalmus pectinirostris.docx

    Global climate change has profound impacts on the habitats of marine organisms, and predicting the habitat changes of species under climate change conditions is crucial for species sustainability. Boleophthalmus pectinirostris is an intertidal fish species that holds significant ecological and economic value. To better protect and manage its resources, this study aimed to predict its current potential distribution and habitat changes under different climate scenarios in the future. This study firstly quantified the hypervolume niches of the three lineages (AE1, AE2, and AES lineages) and compared the niche differentiation among them. Furthermore, this study constructed species-level and lineage-level species distribution models (SDMs) to assess the impact of climate change on the habitat suitability of B. pectinirostris. The result of the niche differentiation assessment showed that there was marked differentiation in niches among the three lineages. The responses of different lineages to environmental variables were different, suggesting that lineage-level models may provide more accurate prediction results. According to the model predictions, the AES may have greater resilience to climate change and may experience habitat expansion in the future, while the AE1 and the AE2 may face habitat loss in some regions. Climate change-driven shifts in oceanic conditions were anticipated to affect the distribution and community structure of marine organisms. This study assessed the impact of climate change on the suitable habitat range of three lineages of B. pectinirostris using SDMs. Consistent with previous studies, the results of our study indicated that lineage-level SDMs may be more reliable than species-level SDMs for species with population differentiation in terms of the accuracy of predictions. In addition, considering the vulnerability of the AE1 and AE2 lineages to climate change, conserving these two lineages should be given a higher priority. The results of this study will provide important information for the future management and conservation of this species.</p

    One-Pot Twofold Unsymmetrical C–Si Bond 2,6-Bifunctionalization of Arenes via Sequential [1,4]-Csp<sup>2</sup> to <i>O</i>‑Silyl Migration

    Twofold unsymmetrical C–Si bond bifunctionalization of 2,6-di­(trimethylsilyl) benzyl alcohols has been achieved in one pot via sequential [1,4]-Csp2 to O-silyl migration. The hydroxyl group functions as an “on–off–on” switch to control two successive silyl migrations, and 4,7-dimethyl-o-phenanthroline ligand favors cleavage of the endocyclic C–Si bond. Diverse Csp3/Csp3 or Csp2/Csp3 electrophiles can be installed at the 2- and 6-positions. This approach was used to chemoselectively functionalize the three C–Si bonds of 2,4,6-tri­(trimethylsilyl) benzyl alcohol, transforming it into isochroman derivatives. The approach even works as a five-component reaction to construct complex symmetric structures
