Catalytic asymmetric intermolecular [4 + 2] annulation of benzocyclobutenones with Alkynes and activated carbonyls via C—C activation

Enantioselective C—C activation remains heavily underexplored and has been predominantly limited to intramolecular reactions. Here the authors report two categories of asymmetric intermolecular [4+2] annulations between benzocyclobutenones and unsaturated reagents, namely, alkynes and cyclic dicarbonyl compounds.

Selective radical-type perfluoro-tert-butylation of unsaturated compounds with a stable and scalable reagent

Despite the promising potential of the perfluoro-tert-butyl (PFtB) group in diverse fields, incorporating PFtB into organic molecules remains challenging. Here, the authors describe a stable and scalable reagent for radical-type perfluoro-tert-butylation, which is synthesized in large scale from commercial perfluoro-tert-butanol and a designed benzothiazole hypervalent iodonium salt.

In-situ visualization of the space-charge-layer effect on interfacial lithium-ion transport in all-solid-state batteries

Understanding the effect of the space charge layer (SCL) in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries is challenging due to lack of direct experimental observations. Here the authors visualize the SCL using an in-situ DPC-STEM imaging technique, based on which they further introduce a built-in electric field to suppress its formation.
