However, the construction of allenes through reductive cross‐coupling remains a challenging topic. This paper presents a strategy for synthesizing multisubstituted allenes through nickel‐catalyzed reductive cross‐coupling reactions. The method employs propargyl acetates and chlorosilanes to generate a range of silyl‐substituted allenes. The reaction conditions are mild, and the process exhibits high chemo‐ and regioselectivity, along with good substrate universality. Moreover, the method can be extended to chlorogermane and chlorostannane, leading to the formation of germanium or stannium substituted allenes. This study provides a useful strategy for the synthesis of multisubstituted allenes and expands the synthetic toolbox for the construction of highly functionalized molecules.","PeriodicalId":167,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"200 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142809412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this challenge, we investigated the immobilization of laccase in unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles of dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) as a means to enhance its photo-stability while preserving its catalytic activity. Enzymatic activity was evaluated spectroscopically for both free and encapsulated laccase, before and after UVB irradiation.\u0000Our results demonstrate that DOPC vesicles effectively encapsulate the laccase enzyme, maintaining its activity within the vesicles. Moreover, the substrate syringaldazine, a model compound for laccase activity studies, was able to permeate through the bilayer. Notably, encapsulated laccase exhibited significantly higher retention of enzymatic activity (REA) post-irradiation compared to the free enzyme.\u0000In conclusion, both unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles provide substantial photoprotection for laccase against UVB light. This protective effect is attributed to the enzyme's confinement within a system that scatters high-energy photons. Furthermore, the simplicity and ease of large-scale production of multilamellar vesicles present an advantageous option for various applications, including bioremediation.","PeriodicalId":167,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142805050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
