The synthesis of substituted benzo[a]quinolizidines via aza‐Michael addition of tetrahydroisoquinolines to alkyl vinyl ketones, followed by oxidative Mannich cyclization, is described. Various Michael adducts are easily prepared, and subsequent DDQ‐mediated oxidations stereoselectively afford the corresponding azacycles efficiently. Furthermore, the one‐pot aza‐Michael/oxidative Mannich process gave benzo[a]quinolizidines, thus providing a metal‐free and practical synthetic route to N‐heterocyclic building blocks.

Light to wear: Aluminum coated fibrous materials with excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical endurance are fabricated at room temperature by a chemical solution process. The resulting aluminum‐coated conductive papers and threads can be used in electric circuits for flexible and wearable electronics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wearable electronics require highly conductive fibrous materials, which can now be fabricated at room temperature. In their Communication on page 7718 ff., H. M. Lee, S. H. Ko, and co‐workers demonstrate that cotton or paper fibers can be impregnated and coated with Al atoms from the precursor Al{O(C4H9)2}. The fibrous materials exhibit excellent electrical conductivity, as well as enduring mechanical strength, which is indicative of their potential applications for flexible and wearable electronics.

Tragbare elektronische Bauteile erfordern sehr leitfähige faserförmige Materialien, die nun bei Raumtemperatur hergestellt werden können. In der Zuschrift auf S. 7872 ff. stellen H. M. Lee, S. H. Ko et al. das Imprägnieren und Beschichten von Baumwoll ‐ oder Papierfasern mit Al ‐ Atomen mithilfe der Vorstufe Al{O(C4H9)2} vor. Die Materialien weisen eine ausgezeichnete elektrische Leitfähigkeit und mechanische Haltbarkeit auf, was auf den möglichen Einsatz in elektrischen Schaltungen für flexible und tragbare elektronische Bauteile hinweist.
