    Abstract Among candidate strategies to depolymerize lignin, electroreduction has promise as a mild, environmentally friendly, low-cost method to cleave lignin’s most common linkage, the β-O-4 bond. Much of the prior work on lignin electrolysis has focused on anodic (oxidative) approaches, while most available electroreduction studies have studied lignin model compounds rather than authentic lignin. Here, after optimizing with a model system, we investigated the room-temperature electroreductive cleavage of four common lignin samples from different pretreatment approaches, including Kraft, Soda, GVL, and Cu-AHP lignin. This mild electrolysis process resulted in the solubilization of 45% of the GVL lignin and 60% of the Cu-AHP lignin, affording approximately 17.6 and 19.4 wt % of monomeric materials, respectively. The present work is an encouraging first step toward an electroreductive strategy for lignin depolymerization and upgrading.

    Abstract Ultrafast tunnel ionization enables femtosecond time-resolved dynamic measurements of the retro-Diels-Alder reactions of positively charged cyclohexene, norbornene, and dicyclopentadiene. Unlike the reaction times of 500-600 ps that are observed following UV excitation of neutral species, on the ionic potential energy surfaces, these reactions occur on a single picosecond timescale and, in some cases, exhibit vibrational coherence. In the case of norbornene, a 270 cm

    Abstract Diaryl ethers undergo electrocatalytic hydrogenolysis (ECH) over skeletal Ni cathodes in a mild, aqueous process that achieves direct C-O cleavage without initial benzene ring saturation. Mechanistic studies find that aryl phenyl ethers with a single para or meta functional group (methyl, methoxy, or hydroxy) are selectively cleaved to the substituted benzene and phenol, in contrast to recently reported homogeneous catalytic cleavage processes. Ortho positioning of substituents reverses this C-O bond selectivity, except for the 2-phenoxyphenol case. Together with isotope labeling and co-solvent studies, these results point to two distinct cleavage mechanisms: (a) dual-ring coordination and C-H activation, leading to vicinal elimination to form phenol and a surface-bound aryne intermediate which is then hydrogenated and released as the arene; and (b) surface binding in keto form by the phenolic ring of the hydroxy-substituted substrates, followed by direct displacement of the departing phenol. Notably, acetone inhibits the well-known reduction of phenol to cyclohexanol, affording control of product ring saturation. A byproduct of this work is the discovery that the ECH treatment completely defluorinates substrates bearing aromatic C-F and C-CF

    Abstract Quantifying the mid-range infrared hydroxyl stretch absorbance region has traditionally been a challenge due to the wavenumber dependence of the attenuation coefficient. Interpretation often assigns a single attenuation coefficient to each type of hydrogen-bonded aggregate. This work leverages a recently developed technique of scaling hydroxyl stretching absorbances in the mid-infrared region with a continuous attenuation coefficient function that produces integrated areas which directly correlate to hydroxyl concentrations. After scaling, the hydroxyl absorbance is fitted with five curves, of which four are dominant. These four curves represent unique hydroxyl configurations and translate to specific aggregate structures. The technique is applied to ethanol and 1-butanol. The resulting population distributions of hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl configurations are compared with the resummed thermodynamic perturbation theory (RTPT) model for linear chains as a function of concentration and temperature. The model is demonstrated to capture the critical features of the distributions.

    Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder characterized by hypercalcemia and an elevated or inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone level. Classic features include bone pain, fractures, renal impairment, nephrolithiasis, and mental disturbance. However, most cases of PHPT are now asymptomatic at diagnosis or associated with nonspecific neurocognitive changes. The most frequent cause of PHPT is a solitary adenoma that secretes parathyroid hormone without the normal suppressive effect of serum calcium. A smaller number of cases can be attributed to multigland disease. Parathyroidectomy is curative and is considered for nearly all affected patients. Although PHPT is primarily a clinical and biochemical diagnosis, imaging is key to the localization of adenomas, which can lie in conventional locations adjacent to the thyroid gland or less commonly at ectopic sites in the neck and mediastinum. In addition, accurate localization facilitates the use of a minimally invasive or targeted surgical approach. Frequently used localization techniques include US, parathyroid scintigraphy, and four-dimensional CT. Second- and third-line modalities such as MRI, PET/CT, and selective venous sampling with or without parathyroid arteriography can increase confidence before surgery. These localization techniques, along with the associated technical aspects, relative advantages, and drawbacks, are described. Local expertise, patient factors, and surgeon preference are important considerations when determining the type and sequence of investigation. A multimodality approach is ultimately desirable, particularly in challenging scenarios such as multigland disease, localization of ectopic adenomas, and persistent or recurrent PHPT.

    Abstract This article reviews the important role of radiotherapy in the management of early non-melanoma skin cancer, in the definitive and adjuvant settings. Therapeutic considerations and appropriate patient selection will be discussed, as well as evidence for efficacy and potential side-effects. Additionally, we present some recent advances which may improve accessibility and quality of radiotherapy, such as more convenient dose-fractionation, wide-field treatments, electronic brachytherapy and 3D printed bolus.

    Abstract A green, efficient N-alkylation of amines with simple alcohols has been achieved in aqueous solution via an electrochemical version of the so-called “borrowing hydrogen methodology”. Catalyzed by Ru on activated carbon cloth (Ru/ACC), the reaction works well with methanol, and with primary and secondary alcohols. Alkylation can be accomplished by either of two different electrocatalytic processes: (1) in an undivided cell, alcohol (present in excess) is oxidized at the Ru/ACC anode; the aldehyde or ketone product condenses with the amine; and the resulting imine is reduced at an ACC cathode, combining with protons released by the oxidation. This process consumes stoichiometric quantities of current. (2) In a membrane-divided cell, the current-activated Ru/ACC cathode effects direct C–H activation of the alcohol; the resulting carbonyl species, either free or still surface-adsorbed, condenses with amine to form imine and is reduced as in (1). These alcohol activation processes can alkylate primary and secondary aliphatic amines, as well as ammonia itself at 25–70 °C and ambient pressure.
