- Sustainable synthesis of drug intermediates via simultaneous utilization of carbon monoxide and ammonia over Pd@La-MOF
-
Mitigation of carbon monoxide and ammonia to valuable primary aromatic amides is an imperative approach to control the environmentally harmful emissions thereby infusing towards sustainability. Designing of nanostructured catalyst for direct access to the synthetically valuable primary aromatic and heteroaromatic amides via carbonylative amination of aryl halides is always demanding since nano materials can bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis thus preserving the desirable attributes of both the systems towards sustainable catalysis. Herein, microwave assisted fabrication of highly uniform Pd NPs (3,4 nm) over La-MOFs has been performed and utilized efficiently for ligand free carbonylative amination of aryl iodides with carbon monoxide and ammonia. Moderate to high yields of benzamide derivatives, salicylamide, a drug having analgesic and antipyretic properties were achieved. The unsaturated metal sites in the MOF via synergistic mode of σ and π bonding binds with CO, which significantly enhances the catalytic activity of MOF-composite unlike other supported Pd NPs. DFT confirms the growth of pristine Pd13 cluster within the framework, as active metal center for the carbonylative amination.

- Ru(ii)- And Ru(iv)-dmso complexes catalyze efficient and selective aqueous-phase nitrile hydration reactions under mild conditions
-
New water-soluble ruthenium(ii)- and ruthenium(iv)-dmso complexes [RuCl2(dmso)2(NH3)(CH3CN)] (1), [RuCl2(dmso)3(CH3CN)] (2), and [RuCl2(dmso)3(NH3)]·PF6·Cl (3) have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 31P NMR, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The molecular structures of complexes 1-3 were determined crystallographically. The reactivity of complexes 1-3 has been tested for aqueous-phase nitrile hydration at 60 °C in air, and good efficiency and selectivity are shown for the corresponding amide derivatives. Best performance is achieved with complex 3. Amide conversions of 56-99% were obtained with a variety of aromatic, alkyl, and vinyl nitriles. The reaction tolerated hydroxyl, nitro, bromo, formyl, pyridyl, benzyl, alkyl, and olefinic functional groups. Amides were isolated by simple decantation from the aqueous-phase catalyst. A catalyst loading down to 0.0001 mol% was examined and turnover numbers as high as 990?000 were observed. The catalyst was stable for weeks in solution and could be reused more than seven times without significant loss in catalytic activity. The gram-scale reaction was also performed to produce the desired product in high yields. This journal is

- Amide bond formation in aqueous solution: Direct coupling of metal carboxylate salts with ammonium salts at room temperature
-
Herein, we report a green, expeditious, and practically simple protocol for direct coupling of carboxylate salts and ammonium salts under ACN/H2O conditions at room temperature without the addition of tertiary amine bases. The water-soluble coupling reagent EDC·HCl is a key component in the reaction. The reaction runs smoothly with unsubstituted/substituted ammonium salts and provides a clean product without column chromatography. Our reaction tolerates both carboxylate (which are unstable in other forms) and amine salts (which are unstable/volatile when present in free form). We believe that the reported method could be used as an alternative and suitable method at the laboratory and industrial scales. This journal is

- Iron-catalyzed arene C-H hydroxylation
-
The sustainable, undirected, and selective catalytic hydroxylation of arenes remains an ongoing research challenge because of the relative inertness of aryl carbon-hydrogen bonds, the higher reactivity of the phenolic products leading to over-oxidized by-products, and the frequently insufficient regioselectivity. We report that iron coordinated by a bioinspired L-cystine-derived ligand can catalyze undirected arene carbon-hydrogen hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The reaction is distinguished by its broad substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good yields, and it showcases compatibility with oxidation-sensitive functional groups, such as alcohols, polyphenols, aldehydes, and even a boronic acid. This method is well suited for the synthesis of polyphenols through multiple carbon-hydrogen hydroxylations, as well as the late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.

- Biocatalytic Cross-Coupling of Aryl Halides with a Genetically Engineered Photosensitizer Artificial Dehalogenase
-
Devising artificial photoenzymes for abiological bond-forming reactions is of high synthetic value but also a tremendous challenge. Disclosed herein is the first photobiocatalytic cross-coupling of aryl halides enabled by a designer artificial dehalogenase, which features a genetically encoded benzophenone chromophore and site-specifically modified synthetic NiII(bpy) cofactor with tunable proximity to streamline the dual catalysis. Transient absorption studies suggest the likelihood of energy transfer activation in the elementary organometallic event. This design strategy is viable to significantly expand the catalytic repertoire of artificial photoenzymes for useful organic transformations.

The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.

- Aqueous-Phase Nitrile Hydration Catalyzed by an In Situ Generated Air-Stable Ruthenium Catalyst
-
RuCl2(PTA)4 (PTA=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) is an active, recyclable, air-stable, aqueous-phase nitrile hydration catalyst. The development of an in situ generated aqueous-phase nitrile hydration catalyst (RuCl3?3 H2O+6 equivalents PTA) is reported. The activity of the in situ catalyst is comparable to RuCl2(PTA)4. The effects of [PTA] on the activity of the reaction were investigated: the catalytic activity, in general, increases as the pH goes up, which shows a positive correlation with [PTA]. The pH effects were further explored for both the in situ and RuCl2(PTA)4 catalyzed reaction in phosphate buffer solutions with particular attention given to pH 6.8 buffer. Increased catalytic activity was observed at pH 6.8 versus water for both systems with turnover frequency (TOF) up to 135 h?1 observed for RuCl2(PTA)4 and 64 h?1 for the in situ catalyst. Catalyst loading down to 0.001 mol % was examined with turnover numbers as high as 22 000 reported. Similar to the preformed catalyst, RuCl2(PTA)4, the in situ catalyst could be recycled more than five times without significant loss of activity from either water or pH 6.8 buffer.

- (Ar-tpy)RuII(ACN)3: A Water-Soluble Catalyst for Aldehyde Amidation, Olefin Oxo-Scissoring, and Alkyne Oxygenation
-
The synthetic chemists always look for developing new catalysts, sustainable catalysis, and their applications in various organic transformations. Herein, we report a new class of water-soluble complexes, (Ar-tpy)RuII(ACN)3, utilizing designed terpyridines possessing electron-donating and -withdrawing aromatic residues for tuning the catalytic activity of the Ru(II) complex. These complexes displayed excellent catalytic activity for several oxidative organic transformations including late-stage C-H functionalization of aldehydes with NH2OR to valuable primary amides in nonconventional aqueous media with excellent yield. Its diverse catalytic power was established for direct oxo-scissoring of a wide range of alkenes to furnish aldehydes and/or ketones in high yield using a low catalyst loading in the water. Its smart catalytic activity under mild conditions was validated for dioxygenation of alkynes to highly demanding labile synthons, 1,2-diketones, and/or acids. This general and sustainable catalysis was successfully employed on sugar-based substrates to obtain the chiral amides, aldehydes, and labile 1,2-diketones. The catalyst is recovered and reused with a moderate turnover. The proposed mechanistic pathway is supported by isolation of the intermediates and their characterization. This multifaceted sustainable catalysis is a unique tool, especially for late-stage functionalization, to furnish the targeted compounds through frequently used amidation and oxygenation processes in the academia and industry.

A new family of O, N donor-functionalized (4-phenoxyphenylazo)-2-naphthol/4-substituted phenol-based ligands (HL1-HL4)has been synthesized. The prepared ligands were successfully utilized for the access of a series of ruthenium(II)carbonyl complexes of the type [Ru(L)Cl(CO)(EPh3)3](E = phosphine/arsine), (L = 1-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-2-naphthol (HL1), 2-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-4-chlorophenol (HL2), 2-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-4-methylphenol (HL3)and 2-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-4-methoxyphenol (HL4)). All of the ruthenium(II)carbonyl complexes and ligands have been fully characterized by FT-IR, UV–visible, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, mass spectrometry and CHN analysis. The ligands have been analyzed by 13C NMR. The UV–visible spectroscopic study reveals that both the ligands and Ru(II)complexes exhibit excellent charge transfer transitions. This is the basic criteria for the oxidative amidation reaction, which is an influential strategy for the transformation of oxygenated organic compounds to the profitable amides. However, this catalytic process makes more impact on the application of new divalent ruthenium(II)azo compounds as catalyst in a single-pot conversion of aldehydes to amides in the presence of NaHCO3.

A phosphine free water-soluble superbulky amine-ruthenium-arene complex (2) encompassing 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methylaniline was synthesised in good yield. 2 was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies, TGA and elemental analyses. The structure of 2 was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The ruthenium centre in 2 adopts the pseudo-octahedral geometry due to the η6-p-cymene ring and bulky aniline ligand along with two chloro groups. Besides, complex 2 was efficaciously employed as a catalyst in the hydration of organonitriles to amides. This reaction proceeds efficiently for a wide range of substrates in an environmentally benign medium and is an economically reasonable synthetic route to amides in good yields. In addition, 2 acts as an excellent catalyst in the oxidative homocoupling of arylboronic acids in water. A range of arylboronic acids undergo a homocoupling reaction in the presence of catalyst 2 to yield symmetrical biaryls in reasonable to good yields.

- A rapid, solvent-free deprotection of methoxymethyl (MOM) ethers by pTSA; An eco-friendly approach
-
Background: Ease of preparation and alkaline stability of methoxymethyl (MOM) makes it an important hydroxyl protecting group. A number of methods are available for the deprotection of MOM. Though the methods are good in general, they use solvents, require prolonged reaction time and tedious work up. A solvent free, solid phase, fast deprotection of MOM has been developed and is the major theme of this paper. Methods: A mixture of MOM protected compounds and pTSA is triturated in a mortar (5 min) and left at room temperature for 30 min. On addition of water (4°C), pTSA, methanol and formaldehyde dissolved leaving the products as precipitates. Results: A series of different MOM ethers were deprotected by this method in good to excellent yield (85-98%). The compatibility of MOM in the presence of other protections such as methoxyl, benzyl, ester, amide, allyl and lactone was also established. Acetate protection is not stable under these conditions. Conclusion: An efficient, selective and high yielding deprotection MOM groups by pTSA under solvent free condition is described. The process is environment friendly since no solvent was used in the deprotection process. The reaction conditions are mild and should be useful for the deprotection of MOM derivatives of complex and labile molecules.

- Modification of an Enzyme Biocatalyst for the Efficient and Selective Oxidative Demethylation of para-Substituted Benzene Derivatives
-
The bacterial CYP199A4 enzyme is able to oxidise a narrow range of aromatic acids, which includes 4-methoxybenzoic acid, efficiently. A serine 244 to aspartate variant was identified with enhanced activity for a wide range of para-methoxy-substituted benzenes. Substrates in which the acidic benzoic acid moiety is replaced with a phenol and the amide, aldehyde and bromide analogues were all oxidised with high activity by the S244D mutant (product formation rate >600 nmol nmolCYP ?1 min?1) with turnover numbers of up to 20 000. If the carboxylate moiety was modified to a nitro, ketone, boronic acid, hydroxymethyl or nitrile group, these substrates were also oxidised at a significantly higher activity by S244D than the wild-type enzyme. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde was demethylated selectively and oxidatively to 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde by the S244D mutant 84-fold more rapidly than with the wild-type enzyme. CYP199A4 would have applications in the catalytic regioselective oxidative demethylation of suitably substituted benzene substrates under mild conditions and in the presence of more oxidatively sensitive functional groups, such as an aldehyde.

- Bis(allyl)-ruthenium(IV) complexes with phosphinous acid ligands as catalysts for nitrile hydration reactions
-
Several mononuclear ruthenium(iv) complexes with phosphinous acid ligands [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2OH)] have been synthesized (78-86% yield) by treatment of the dimeric precursor [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η3:η3-C10H16)}2] (C10H16 = 2,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene-1,8-diyl) with 2 equivalents of different aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic secondary phosphine oxides R2P(O)H. The compounds [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2OH)] could also be prepared, in similar yields, by hydrolysis of the P-Cl bond in the corresponding chlorophosphine-Ru(iv) derivatives [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2Cl)]. In addition to NMR and IR data, the X-ray crystal structures of representative examples are discussed. Moreover, the catalytic behaviour of complexes [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2OH)] has been investigated for the selective hydration of organonitriles in water. The best results were achieved with the complex [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PMe2OH)], which proved to be active under mild conditions (60 °C), with low metal loadings (1 mol%), and showing good functional group tolerance.

- Clean synthesis of primary to tertiary carboxamides by CsOH-catalyzed aminolysis of nitriles in water
-
Using CsOH as the only catalyst and utilizing its "cesium effect", a clean synthesis of a wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxamides was achieved by aminolysis reactions of nitriles with ammonia, primary, or secondary amines in water. Studies on the control reactions revealed that the reactions with ammonia most probably proceed via an aminolysis path by the initial addition of ammonia to Cs-activated nitriles to form unsubstituted amidine intermediates, while the reactions with primary or secondary amines may proceed via a hydration/transamidation path by the initial hydration of the Cs-activated nitriles to form primary carboxamide intermediates followed by their transamidation with amines through the formation of substituted amidine intermediates.

- Ruthenium(II) complexes incorporating salicylaldiminato-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as efficient and versatile catalysts for hydration of organonitriles
-
We describe a new synthetic procedure for synthesis of ruthenium(II) complexes containing salicylaldiminato functionalized mixed N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and phosphine co-ligand. The complexes (3a-3d) have been obtained in good to excellent yields by transmetalation from the corresponding Ag-NHC complexes (2a-2d) as carbene transfer reagents. All the [Ru-NHC] complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods as well as ESI mass spectrometry. The ligands 1a-1d show their versatility by switching to be O,N,C-chelating in these ruthenium(II) complexes. The resulting complexes have been evaluated as potential catalysts for the selective hydration of nitriles to primary amides, and related amide bond forming reactions, in environmentally friendly medium. The reaction tolerated ether, hydroxyl, nitro, bromo, formyl, pyridyl, benzyl and alkyl functional groups. The catalyst was stable for weeks and could be recovered and reused more than six times without significant loss of activity.

- Copper(II) acetate-catalysed conversion of aldoximes to amides under mild conditions
-
A mild method for the metal-catalysed conversion of aldoximes to amides has been achieved by the combined use of copper(II) acetate and MeCN in EtOH under reflux. The presence of a catalytic amount of MeCN (0.05 equiv.) accelerated the reaction and improved the yield. Aryl, heteroaryl and alkyl aldoximes were transformed into the corresponding amides in moderate to good yield. 2-Furyl and 2-Thiophenyl aldoximes, which possess a heteroatom lone pair positioned ortho to the oximido group, showed enhanced reactivity, and the corresponding amides were obtained in excellent yield.

- Rh(III)-Catalyzed Redox-Neutral Annulation of Primary Benzamides with Diazo Compounds: Approach to Isoquinolinones
-
Reported herein is a Rh-catalyzed redox-neutral annulation of primary benzamides with diazo compounds, representing an efficient and economic protocol to isoquinolinones. The procedure exhibited good functional group tolerability, scalability, and regioselectivity, obviating the need for oxidants, and only environmentally benign N2 and H2O were released. Further utilization of the method provided an alternative route to functionalized isoquinolines.

- Efficient Route to Deuterated Aromatics by the Deamination of Anilines
-
One-step replacement of NH2 groups in ring-substituted anilines by deuterium is reported. Approaches comprising both solid-phase and solution-phase syntheses can be used on a large variety of substrates. The method uses diazotization in a mixture of water and either dichloromethane or chloroform, which serve as a source of hydrogen. This protocol can be used as a general method for fast and easy incorporation of deuterium into an aromatic system using deuterated chloroform.

- Copper-Catalyzed Hydroxylation of (Hetero)aryl Halides under Mild Conditions
-
The combination of Cu(acac)2 and N,N′-bis(4-hydroxyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl)oxalamide (BHMPO) provides a powerful catalytic system for hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides. A wide range of (hetero)aryl chlorides bearing either electron-donating or -withdrawing groups proceeded well at 130 °C, delivering the corresponding phenols and hydroxylated heteroarenes in good to excellent yields. When more reactive (hetero)aryl bromides and iodides were employed, the hydroxylation reactions completed at relatively low temperatures (80 and 60 °C, respectively) at low catalytic loadings (0.5 mol % Cu).

- Selective Hydration of Nitriles to Amides Over Titania Supported Palladium Exchanged Vanadium Incorporated Molybdophosphoric Acid Catalysts
-
Abstract: Titania supported palladium exchanged vanadium incorporated molybdophosphoric acid (PdMPAV1) catalysts were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction and Laser Raman spectroscopy. The characterization results confirmed the presence of vanadium and palladium into the primary and secondary structure of Keggin ion of heteropoly molybdate respectively. The PdMPAV1 was dispersed on support with intact Keggin ion structure. These catalysts were studied for selective hydration of nitriles to amides. The PdMPAV1was highly active compared to the molybdophosphoric acid containing either vanadium or palladium. The catalyst with 20?% PdMPAV1 dispersed on TiO2 showed highest activity compare to other catalysts. A variety of nitriles were tested over this catalyst and found that the catalyst was active to yield corresponding amides. Different reaction parameters were studied and optimum conditions were established. The PdMPAV1/TiO2 catalyst exhibited consistent activity during reuse.

- Photocatalytic Hydrogen-Evolution Cross-Couplings: Benzene C-H Amination and Hydroxylation
-
We present a blueprint for aromatic C-H functionalization via a combination of photocatalysis and cobalt catalysis and describe the utility of this strategy for benzene amination and hydroxylation. Without any sacrificial oxidant, we could use the dual catalyst system to produce aniline directly from benzene and ammonia, and phenol from benzene and water, both with evolution of hydrogen gas under unusually mild conditions in excellent yields and selectivities.

- Ruthenium(II) complexes bearing pyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands: Synthesis, structure and catalytic application over amide synthesis
-
A series of four imidazolium salts was synthesized by the reaction of 2-bromopyridine with 1-substituted imidazoles. These imidazolium salts (1a–d) were successfully employed as ligand precursors for the syntheses of new ruthenium(II) complexes bearing neutral bidentate ligands of N-heterocyclic carbene and pyridine donor moiety. The NHC-ruthenium(II) complexes (3a–d) were synthesized by reacting the appropriately substituted pyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes with Ag2O forming the NHC–silver bromide in situ followed by transmetalation with [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3]. The new complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopy (IR, UV-Vis,1H,13C,31P-NMR) as well as ESI mass spectrometry. Based on the spectral results, an octahedral geometry was assigned for all the complexes. The complexes were shown to be efficient catalysts for the one-pot conversion of various aldehydes to their corresponding primary amides with good to excellent isolated yields using NH2OH.HCl and NaHCO3. The effects of solvent, base, temperature, time and catalyst loading were also investigated. A broad range of amides were successfully synthesized with excellent isolated yields using the above optimized protocol. Notably, the complex 3a was found to be a very efficient and versatile catalyst towards amidation of a wide range of aldehydes. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Hydration of nitriles to amides by a chitin-supported ruthenium catalyst
-
Chitin-supported ruthenium (Ru/chitin) promotes the hydration of nitriles to carboxamides under aqueous conditions. The nitrile hydration can be performed on a gram-scale and is compatible with the presence of various functional groups including olefins, aldehydes, carboxylic esters and nitro and benzyloxycarbonyl groups. The Ru/chitin catalyst is easily prepared from commercially available chitin, ruthenium(III) chloride and sodium borohydride. Analysis of Ru/chitin by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicates the presence of ruthenium nanoparticles on the chitin support.

- Highly active, chemo- and enantioselective Pt-SPO catalytic systems for the synthesis of aromatic carboxamides
-
Platinum complexes modified with a chiral non-racemizing SPO preligand 1 have been applied in the hydration of aromatic nitriles. [Pt(1)3Cl]Cl formed readily from Pt(COD)Cl2. The chiral secondary phosphine oxide complex showed moderate activity in the hydration of para- and meta-substituted benzonitriles, but failed in converting the ortho-substituted derivatives. The hydride complex PtH(PR2OH)(PR2O-H?OR2P) (PR2OH = 1) formed from Pt(PPh3)4 and 1, and the cationic complex derived from [Pt(1)3Cl]Cl via direct chloride abstraction with AgNO3 were proven to be considerably more active, allowing us to extend the scope to the hydration of ortho-substituted aromatic nitriles, including axially chiral [1,1′-binaphthalene]-2,2′-dicarbonitrile. In the hydration of the racemic dinitrile, successful kinetic resolution has been achieved. The catalysts derived from non-racemizing 1 are the first chiral transition metal-SPO complexes that provide kinetic resolution in the hydration of a racemic chiral nitrile.

The binap-based hydroxyphosphine-(η6-arene)-ruthenium(ii) complexes [RuX{η6:κ1(P)-PPh2-binaphthyl}{PPh2(OH)}][OTf] (X = OTf (4), Cl (5)) have been evaluated as potential catalysts for the selective hydration of nitriles to primary amides. The triflate derivative 4 proved to be the most active, being able to hydrate a large variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic nitriles in pure water at 100°C. The utility of complex 4 to promote the catalytic rearrangement of aldoximes has also been demonstrated. In addition, insights about the role played by the hydroxyphosphine ligand PPh2(OH) during the catalytic reactions are given.

- Synthesis of N -acyl- N, O -acetals mediated by titanium ethoxide
-
N-Acyl-N,O-acetals are present in a number of bioactive natural products, and this unusual functional group can act as a synthetic precursor to unstable reactive N-acylimines. In this paper, a variety of N-acyl-O-ethyl-N,O-acetals was concisely prepared under mild conditions mediated by titanium ethoxide (Ti(OEt)4). The method also offers a new strategy to make other O-alkyl-N,O-acetals. Furthermore, this strategy was extended to the synthesis of an analogue of the natural product turtschamide.

- Chitosan supported ionic liquid: A recyclable wet and dry catalyst for the direct conversion of aldehydes into nitriles and amides under mild conditions
-
A green and highly efficient chitosan supported magnetic ionic liquid (CSMIL) was synthesized with chitosan (the most abundant biopolymer in nature and a cheap industrial waste product), methyl imidazole and anhydrous/hydrous FeCl3. The heterogeneous catalyst thus obtained was used for the direct conversion of aldehydes to the corresponding nitriles in the presence of NH2OH·HCl/dry-CSMIL/MeSO2Cl and amides with NH 2OH·HCl/wet-CSMIL/MeSO2Cl. A highlight of our approach is the easy separation of the catalyst from the reaction medium and thus the recyclability of the catalyst. This simple method can be applied to obtain a wide range of aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic nitriles and amides.

A transition metal-free process, promoted by sodium borohydride, has been developed for convenient and selective hydration of nitriles to corresponding amides. The present process converts the aromatic, aliphatic, and heteroaromatic nitriles with wide functional group tolerance. The regioselective hydration of one nitrile moiety in the presence of an other nitrile group makes high impact in the present protocol.
