The 1, 4-conjugate addition reaction between activated alkynes or acetylenic Michael
acceptors and nucleophiles (ie, the nucleophilic Michael reaction) is a historically useful …

Catalyst-free reactions developed during the last decade and the latest developments in this
emerging field are summarized with a focus on catalyst-free reactions in-water and on-water …

Biological thiols are essential for maintaining the appropriate redox status of proteins, cells,
and organisms.[1] Cysteine (Cys) is an essential amino acid that is involved in protein …

We developed a highly selective ratiometric near-infrared cyanine-based probe CyAC for
cysteine (Cys) over homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Upon the addition of Cys to …

Per-O-acetylated unnatural monosaccharides containing a bioorthogonal group have been
widely used for metabolic glycan labeling (MGL) in live cells for two decades, but it is only …

Shedding light on thiol detection: A compound (see scheme) was developed as a novel,
highly sensitive and selective fluorescent thiol probe, which also features suitable water …

Ethylene is a hormone that plays a critical role in many phases of plant growth and fruit
ripening. Currently, detection of ethylene heavily relies on sophisticated and time …

Catalyst-free N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of amines in water is reported. The Nt-Boc
derivatives were formed chemoselectively without any isocyanate, urea, N, N-di-t-Boc, and …

In this paper, a visible-light-promoted cross-coupling of 4-alkyl-1, 4-dihydropyridines with
thio-/selenium sulfonates under transition-metal-free conditions is described. This strategy …

The thia‐Michael addition reaction has been demonstrated to be a highly powerful tool in
organic synthesis. Indeed, the influential nature of this reaction has been well‐established in …
