SARS-CoV-2 infection and venous thromboembolism after surgery: an international prospective cohort study
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis from an international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of elective and emergency patients undergoing surgery during October 2020. Patients from all surgical specialties were included. The primary outcome measure was venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) within 30 da…
Diastereoselective Synthesis of Enantioenriched Trifluoromethylated Ethylenediamines and Isoindolines Containing Two Stereogenic Carbon Centers by Nucleophilic Trifluoromethylation Using HFC-23.
Fluoroform, HFC-23, is an industrial byproduct from the synthesis of polytetrafluoroethylene and is a vastly underused resource; however, its physicochemical properties have hindered progress toward synthetic uses. Herein, we describe the use of HFC-23 as a cheap trifluoromethylating agent in two reactions for the highly diastereoselective synthesis of medicinally attractive chiral amines with two stereogenic carbon centers: a base-dependent, stereodivergent nucleophilic addition to synthesize enantioenriched vicinal diamines and a tandem nucleophilic addition/aza-Michael sequence toward enantioenriched isoindolines.
