  abstract     = {We present a photon- and metal-free approach for the radical fluorination of aliphatic oxalate-activated alcohols. The method relies on the spontaneous generation of the N-(chloromethyl)triethylenediamine radical dication, a potent single electron oxidant, from Selectfluor and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine. The protocol is easily scalable and provides the desired fluorinated products within only a few minutes reaction time.},

  abstract     = {Photochemistry enables new synthetic means to form carbon–heteroatom bonds. Photocatalysts can catalyze carbon–heteroatom cross-couplings by electron or energy transfer either alone or in combination with a second catalyst. Photocatalyst-free methods are possible using photolabile substrates or by generating photoactive electron donor-acceptor complexes. This review summarizes and discusses the strategies used in light-mediated carbon–heteroatom bond formations based on the proposed mechanisms.},

  abstract     = {Linear tetrapyrroles, called phyllobilins, are obtained as major catabolites upon chlorophyll degradation. Primarily, colorless phylloleucobilins featuring four deconjugated pyrrole units were identified. Their yellow counterparts, phylloxanthobilins, were discovered more recently. Although the two catabolites differ only by one double bond, physicochemical properties are very distinct. Moreover, the presence of the double bond seems to enhance physiologically relevant bioactivities: in contrast to phylloleucobilin, we identified a potent anti-proliferative activity for a phylloxanthobilin, and show that this natural product induces apoptotic cell death and a cell cycle arrest in cancer cells. Interestingly, upon modifying inactive phylloleucobilin by esterification, an anti-proliferative activity can be observed that increases with the chain lengths of the alkyl esters. We provide first evidence for anti-cancer activity of phyllobilins, report a novel plant source for a phylloxanthobilin, and by using paper spray MS, show that these bioactive yellow chlorophyll catabolites are more prevalent in Nature than previously assumed.},
