RSC Advances HOT articles – a feature interview with Pavel Bobal, Jan Otevrel and David Svestka

25 Aug 2020

We are very pleased to introduce Pavel Bobal, Jan Otevrel and David Svestka, the authors of the paper ‘One-pot method for the synthesis of 1-aryl-2-aminoalkanol derivatives from the corresponding amides or nitriles‘. Their article has been very well received and handpicked by our reviewers and handling editors as one of our HOT articles. The team told us more about the work that went into this article and what they hope to achieve in the future. You can find out more about the authors and their article below and find more HOT articles in our online collection.

Meet the Authors

Pavel Bobal studied organic chemistry at Slovak Technical University, Bratislava, Slovakia, where he received his doctoral degree in 1996. He spent 3 years between 1995 and 1998 as a postdoc at the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland (Prof. Neier) and additional 3 years at the University of Nevada, Reno, USA (Prof. Lightner). From 2001 to 2009 he worked in the pharmaceutical industry (R&D). In 2009 he became an assistant professor and then in 2019 an associate professor at Faculty of Pharmacy, UVPS Brno, Czech Republic. Since 2020 this faculty has been reestablished as a part of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.

Jan Otevrel was a former Ph.D. student of Pavel Bobal, he received his doctoral degree in 2017 and then became an assistant professor at the same university. During his Ph.D. he spent 3 months at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany (Prof. Hrdina) and he will soon (this year) start a postdoc position at Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria (Prof. Waser). He has discovered and co-developed the process published in the current study.

David Svestka received his master’s degree in 2019 at UVPS Brno, Czech Republic. He is currently a Ph.D. student in the Pavel Bobal’s laboratory and participated in the development of the present method.

Could you briefly explain the focus of your article to the non-specialist (in one or two sentences only) and why it is of current interest?
Our paper describes a new method for synthesis of vicinal amino alcohols from the respective amides or nitriles by a simple set of reaction conditions. Amino alcohols are compounds of high interest in many branches of chemistry.

How big an impact could your results potentially have?
It is always hard to predict feedback of the scientific article. However, from our perspective, we would be glad if the developed process will find place in syntheses of vicinal amino alcohols conducted at research laboratories and if the readers of RSC Advances will appreciate efforts which we have invested in this paper.

Could you explain the motivation behind this study?
Due to our continuous interest in the organocatalyzed aldol-type reactions, we have been exploring syntheses of numerous chiral auxiliaries for the catalyst design and screening. These long-term endeavor paved a way for our current unexpected discovery.

In your opinion, what are the key design considerations for your study?
The key consideration in this study is to use an old and well-known reagent in a new context to reveal the novel and yet unexplored reactivity.

Which part of the work towards this paper proved to be most challenging?
The methodological articles in organic synthesis usually share the common structure such as the optimization section, determination of the substrate scope, and a relevant synthetic application of the method. Thus from the initial interesting observation, it is often quite a long journey towards the good scientific paper. Honestly, one of the most challenging parts of the above article was to establish a plausible mechanism of the reaction and to support it with enough evidence.

What aspect of your work are you most excited about at the moment?
One of the most exciting moments of this discovery was to figure out that benzylic oxidation can occur even under reduction conditions, which is somewhat counter-intuitive. Indeed, sodium bis(methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride gave us a great lecture that more than 50 years old and almost comprehensively explored reagent is still able to surprise.

What is the next step? What work is planned?
We will continue with our work in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry and we will look forward to the new and especially the unexpected chemical discoveries.

RSC Advances Science Communications: LatinXChem: Towards greater inclusivity and diversity in scientific conferences

24 Aug 2020

Author: Gerardo Cedillo-Servin, Web Writer

Lockdown measures due to COVID-19 and bans on international travel have imposed many changes of plans for scientific conferences. However, for many researchers and students across Latin America, traveling to international conferences for oral and poster presentations was already challenging even before the COVID pandemic, given the limited funding available to principal investigators. Often times, when scientific research is underfunded, the decision to support a student’s conference participation occurs at the cost of other necessary laboratory resources (1). Moreover, while the use of English as lingua franca in the sciences helps knowledge dissemination, it has also become a barrier to science communication for non-native English speakers (2). Creating multilingual and accessible fora needs to be a key component of efforts towards greater inclusivity and diversity in scientific research.

For these reasons, Latinx student exposure to networking and learning opportunities at scientific conferences remains a challenge, further magnifying disparities in academic research among Latin American and other Western scientific communities. Taking example from the successful #RSCPoster Twitter conferences organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry, LatinXChem has emerged in the face of these challenges as the first event of its kind: a trilingual poster conference in the chemical sciences held entirely on Twitter, allowing for presentations in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. This collaborative effort is spearheaded by Latinx researchers in Mexico, Chile, Brazil, the US, Canada, Belgium, the UK, and Germany, who have ensured participation by stellar Latinx researchers as evaluators.

The involvement by distinguished Latinx evaluators is key, as they enrich the event not only with their academic expertise, but also by allowing for multilingual poster presentations and increasing Latinx representation in the chemical sciences, thus encouraging underrepresented students to pursue a scientific career. Latin American and Latinx students and trainees from around the world can participate in this event at no cost to them, sharing their research in any of 11 different categories within the chemical sciences.

We hope initiatives like LatinXChem keep growing, as they strive for greater inclusivity and diversity in chemical research, helping to break down economic and linguistic barriers to science communication in the Latinx community.

Register before August 25, 2020 at latinxchem.org. LatinXChem will be held on September 7, 2020 with the generous support of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

RSC Advances Science Communications: Solar-driven photoredox catalysis – A step towards a sustainable synthesis future

04 Aug 2020

Author: Shruti Dadwal, Web Writer

One needs to seek nature in order to get the idea of sustainability either in daily life or in the chemistry lab. We have been learning since our childhood about plants survival via photosynthesis and humans survival by oxygen. The sun has been the ultimate powerhouse for all the beings on earth.

Photosynthesis is the apotheosis of sustainable chemical reactivity and the sun is one of the main pinnacles towards the target of green chemistry. In the context of sustainable synthetic approaches, photoredox chemistry has emerged as a scientific toolbox for organic transformations due to the tremendous ability to generate reactive intermediates under mild reaction conditions.

Photoredox catalysis depends upon the photoexcitation with visible light to facilitate single electron transfer (SET) and the generation of other intermediates. Sunlight energy could be the essential source for this cause owing to its free, non-toxic and environmentally benign nature. These benefits make photoredox catalysis valuable when designing new catalytic systems with sustainable approaches. However, there are other sources for the photoexcitation although they pose limitations due to high energy requirements and formation of side products. Even though photoredox catalysis has provided powerful methods in synthesis, the cost of photocatalysts and cost of light sources and environmental aspects on the synthesis are yet to be considered.

With the help of a broad range of molecules synthesized in our lab, modeling and utilization, we have been able to understand the potential of molecules for their photoredox catalytic activity. Considering this situation, my recent research focuses on the synthesis of molecules with strong visible range absorption and utilization of sunlight for photoexcitation to carry out various organic transformations via photoredox chemistry. By smartly incorporating the donor and acceptor groups, we are able to synthesize molecules with absorption in the visible region (Fig. 1).

My focus is on understanding the potential of the molecules to catalyze reactions with low energy radiations i.e. solar-driven. The synthesized molecules have been subjected to various experiments and found to be active towards aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) and solvatochromism phenomenon, reactive oxygen species generation as well as displayed catalytic activity towards reactions such as (i) oxidative homocoupling of benzyl amines (ii) additive free oxidative amidation of aldehydes and (iii) hydroxylation of boronic acids under the presence of sunlight. All you need to get a good transformation is chemicals, a stirrer and the sun. Our group continue to address challenges in this field, exploring more solar-driven chemical transformations.
