Lithium naphthalenide reacts with carboxylic acids in the presence of diethylamine to give the α-anions of lithium carboxylates. Reaction of these anions with various epoxides gives the corresponding y-hydroxy acids in good yield. The γ-hydroxy acids easily cyclize to give γ-butyrolactones.

Copper mediated decarboxylative direct C–H arylation of 5-membered heteroarenes with aryl carboxylic acids is developed using the molecular oxygen as sole oxidant. Copper plays the dual role in decarboxylation and C–H arylation.

Sugars are essential for the formation of genetic elements such as RNA and as an energy/food source. Thus, the formose reaction, which autocatalytically generates a multitude of sugars from formaldehyde, has been viewed as a potentially important prebiotic source of biomolecules at the origins of life. When analyzing our formose solutions we find that many of the chemical species are simple carboxylic acids, including α-hydroxy acids, associated with metabolism. In this work we posit that the study of the formose reaction, under alkaline conditions and moderate hydrothermal temperatures, should not be solely focused on sugars for genetic materials, but should focus on the origins of metabolism (via metabolic molecules) as well.

Novel chiral fluorescent sensors are synthesized from a dibromide containing a tetraphenylethylene moiety and enantiomerically pure amino alcohols and an amine. The sensors are applied for the chiral recognition of a wide range of chiral carboxylic acids and related derivatives.
