Treatment of 1–3 with NaPF6 in methanol at RT affords quantitatively the corresponding derivatives [RuCl(PP)(tpy)]PF6 (PP=dppp (1 a), ‐Skewphos (2 a) and ‐Skewphos (3 a)). Reaction of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with ‐Josiphos or (R)‐BINAP in toluene, followed by treatment with tpy in 1‐butanol and finally with NaPF6 in MeOH gives [RuCl(PP)(tpy)]PF6 ‐Josiphos (4 a), (R)‐BINAP (5 a)) isolated in 78 % and 86 % yield, respectively. The chiral derivatives have been isolated as single stereoisomers and 3 a, 4 a have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. The tpy complexes with NaOiPr display high photocatalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of carbonyl compounds using 2‐propanol as the only hydrogen donor and visible light at 30 °C, at remarkably high S/C (up to 5000) and TOF values up to 264 h−1. The chiral enantiomers 2, 2 a and 3, 3 a induce the asymmetric photocatalytic TH of acetophenone, affording (S)‐ and (R)‐1‐phenylethanol with 51 and 52 % ee, respectively, in a MeOH/2‐propanol mixture.The cationic achiral and chiral terpyridine diphosphine ruthenium complexes [RuCl(PP)(tpy)]Cl (PP=dppp ( 6) complexesThe new cationic ruthenium [RuCl(PP)(tpy)]X 3] a diphosphine and 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine (tpy), promote the photocatalytical transfer hydrogenation (TH) of carbonyl compounds in 2‐propanol under mild conditions. Unprecedented asymmetric catalytic TH of acetophenone driven by light was obtained with ruthenium tpy complexes containing the chiral Skewphos diphosphine. Highly efficient catalysts are the arene amino [RuCl(arene)(NN)]cis‐[RuCl2(ampy)(PP)]3)(CO)]n(tpy)(PPh3)3−n]X2−n2 Ruthenium complexes have been efficiently employed in C−C and C−H forming reactions via thermal homogenous catalysis. The transfer hydrogenation (TH)2‐based, semiconductors, nanoparticles and metal oxides systems,2(tpy)(biq)]  is found to promote the visible‐light‐driven TH of NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H using HCO2Na in water.3]2+/viologen couple catalyzes the reduction of 2‐phenyl‐2‐oxoethanoic acid using triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial donor,3]2+ photocatalytically affords hydrogen from TEOA.2Na in the absence of any additional photosensitizer, while [Cp*RhCl(bpy)]Cl3]X2 displaying a stereoinduced electron‐transfer process.It is worth noting that TH mediated by light has been reported using heterogeneous TiO6) from [RuCl2(PPh3)3], tpy and  diphosphines. These derivatives are efficient visible light‐induced ruthenium catalysts for the TH of carbonyl compounds using 2‐propanol. Asymmetric TH of acetophenone has been observed with the chiral tpy complexes. Ruthenium alkoxide and hydride species are also formed during catalysis under light irradiation.We report herein a straightforward preparation of cationic tpy ruthenium complexes of general formula [RuCl(PP)(tpy)]X 3] with dppp (1 equiv.) in 1‐butanol at 90 °C for 4 h, followed by treatment with tpy at reflux for 12 h affords the cationic ruthenium derivative [RuCl(dppp)(tpy)]Cl (1), isolated in 87 % yield, via a [RuCl2(dppp)m(PPh3)n] intermediate  of 39.0 Hz for the P atoms trans to Cl and N atoms, respectively. The H6/H6” protons of the terminal pyridines give a doublet at δ=7.80 ppm =6.1 Hz), upfield shifted compared to the free ligand (δ=8.69 ppm),13C{1H} NMR resonances of the C6/C6” and C5/C5” carbons are at δ=156.7 and 126.3 ppm, downfield shifted with respect to the free tpy , whereas the carbon atoms of the central pyridine are less deshielded . Treatment of 1 with NaPF6 in methanol (30 min) affords [RuCl(dppp)(tpy)]PF6 (1 a) as a red precipitate in 93 % yield, by anion exchange 3] with an equimolar amount of ‐Skewphos in 1‐butanol at 90 °C for 4 h, and subsequent reaction with tpy (1 equiv.) at reflux for 12 h, afforded the single stereoisomer [RuCl‐Skewphos)(tpy)]Cl (2) as a red product, isolated in 88 % yield =38.5 Hz) for the P atoms trans to Cl and N atoms, respectively, as established through the long range 4J coupling between the terminal ortho H6 and H6” of tpy (at δH=8.83 and 6.63 ppm) and the P trans to N . While the H6 resonance is slightly deshielded with respect to the free tpy, the H6” signal is strongly upfield (Δδ=2.06 ppm), on account of the interaction with a phenyl of the Skewphos, showing a NOE with the ortho phenyl protons at δ=6.29 ppm . In addition, the CHCH3 moiety linked to the P trans to the chloride gives two signals at δ=2.55 and 0.63 ppm for CH and CH3 groups, while the resonances at δ=3.78 and 1.44 ppm are for the other CHCH3 unity, respectively. As for 1 a, reaction of 2 with an excess of NaPF6 (2.5 equiv.) in methanol at RT led to the complex [RuCl‐Skewphos)(tpy)]PF6 (2 a) in quantitative yield. By using ‐Skewphos, in place of ‐Skewphos and following the same procedures for the synthesis of 2 and 2 a, the corresponding enantiomers 3 and 3 a have been isolated in 85 and 95 % yield. The molecular structure of 3 a has been confirmed by a single crystal X‐ray diffraction experiment, which allows to identify the stereochemistry at the ruthenium center  Å, which is shorter with respect to the terminal Ru1‐N1 and Ru1‐N2 lengths (2.107(2) and 2.148(2) Å), as observed in [Ru(MeCN)(tpy)(dppbz)](PF6)2,3 a in solution with one phenyl displaying high‐field shifted 1H NMR signals.The diphosphine complex S,R)‐Josiphos)(tpy)]PF6 (4 a) and [RuCl((R)‐BINAP)(tpy)]PF6 (5 a) have been obtained through a one‐pot reaction from [RuCl2(PPh3)3] and the corresponding chiral diphosphine, followed by treatment with tpy in 1‐butanol at reflux, giving the chloride complexes 4 and 5 which have been characterized in solution by NMR spectroscopy . Addition of NaPF6 allow the precipitation of 4 a and 5 a in pure form as single stereoisomers in 78 and 86 % yield, respectively, =35.0 Hz) and two very close doublets at δ=40.6 and 39.5 ppm =30.3 Hz), respectively. For 4 a, the terminal H6 pyridine proton is downfield shifted at δH=9.42 ppm, whereas the corresponding H6” is upfield at δH=6.41 ppm due the anisotropic shielding of a diphosphine cyclohexyl rings showing a methylene proton upfield shifted at δH=−0.10 ppm. The interaction of a cyclohexyl ring with the tpy has been evidenced also by the crystal structure of 4 a, showing that the tpy plane is slightly tilted out of the equatorial plane due to the steric hindrance of a Cy group ° and 81.11(9)°, respectively, with a higher distortion with respect to 3 a (91.14(7)° and 86.44(7)°) and with a Ru1−N2 distance of 2.009(3) Å. Conversely, the mer‐RuCl(PP) arrangement has the expected geometrical features, with a Ru−P2 distance of 2.3287(10) Å similar to that of 3 a and the related [RuCl2‐Josiphos)(S)‐MePyme] derivative.5 a are at δ=9.43 and 6.23 ppm, significantly shifted with respect to the free ligand , while the corresponding C6/C6’ carbon atoms show ΔδC values up to 11.0 ppm compared to the free tpy, as inferred from COSY, NOESY and HSQC experiments.As a matter of fact the N2−Ru1−P2 and N2−Ru1−Cl1 angles in 1–3 and 2 a–5 a has been investigated in the TH of ketones and aldehydes to alcohols under light irradiation with a solar simulator (300 W Xenon Arc Lamp). Interestingly, the tpy ruthenium derivatives are found active at remarkably high S/C up to 5000 with 2‐propanol as the only hydrogen donor and without the use of sacrificial reductants (e.g. triethanolamine) or photosensitizers , bearing the dppp diphosphine, catalyzes the TH of a (0.1 M) in 2‐propanol with NaOiPr (2 mol %) at 30 °C, affording 94 % conversion into 1‐phenylethanol in 16 h and with TOF of 74 h−1 (entry 1 of Table a (1 %) is observed.Complex 2, bearing ‐Skewphos, a complete reduction of a occurs in 8 h, with TOF of 148 h−1, affording the alcohol as racemic mixture (entry 2) and much of the same activity has been observed with 2 a, indicating that the type of counterions (Cl− vs. PF6−) does not affect the photocatalysis (entry 3). Interestingly, 2 catalyzes the TH of a at S/C=5000, with 86 % conversion in 24 h and high TOF=205 h−1 (entry 4). A decrease of rate has been observed for different amounts of NaOiPr  (entries 5–7) with respect to 2 mol %, whereas no photocatalysis occurs in the absence of the base.By using 2 promotes the photocatalytic TH of acetophenone (S/C=1000), affording (S)‐1‐phenylethanol (89 % conv) with 51 % ee after 24 h of irradiation, but with a lower rate  and a similar result has been obtained with 2 a (entry 9). Using methanol as solvent, the same enantioselectivity has been achieved, but with only 6 % conversion in 10 h, due to the poor hydrogen donor capability of MeOH with respect to 2‐propanol.3 and 3 a (S/C=1000) in 2‐propanol afford the TH of a in 10 h , whereas in MeOH/iPrOH (1/1 in volume), 52 % ee of (R)‐1‐phenylethanol with 87 % and 90 % conv. is attained .Surprisingly, by using a 1/1 (v/v) mixture of 2‐propanol and MeOH, the complex ee values of the S and R alcohols are much the same, within the experimental error, and are consistent with the use of enantiomer catalysts. The derivatives 4 a and 5 a, bearing the diphosphine ‐Josiphos and (R)‐BINAP, respectively, lead to 95 and 98 % photocatalytic conversion of a in 14 h with TOF=94 and 88 h−1, respectively (entries 14 and 16), whereas using a MeOH/2‐propanol (1/1) mixture, leads to poor chiral induction . The comparison of the TH catalyzed by the pincer 4 a in MeOH/2‐propanol (upon irradiation) with [RuCl(CNN)‐Josiphos)]S alcohol as predominant enantiomer. Conversely, 3 and 3 a afford the R enantiomer, while the corresponding [RuCl(CNN)‐Skewphos)] derivativesS one. A mercury poisoning test2 shows the same performance, suggesting that the catalysis occurs in homogeneous phase (entry 18). It is worth pointing out that no decrease of the enantioselectivity or deactivation of the ruthenium catalyst has been observed during irradiation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of an asymmetric TH of a ketone promoted by light. A solvent effect on the catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of C=O and C=N bonds has been previously reported,3](PF6)2 has been shown to photocatalyze the TH of a leading to incomplete reduction (61 % conv.) in 8 h at 30 °C and with a TOF of 73 h−1 under the same catalytic conditions (entry 19).The 1 photocatalyzes the complete reduction of benzophenone b to benzhydrol at S/C=1000 after 12 h of irradiation, with a TOF=115 h−1 . Complex 1 catalyzes the TH of cyclohexanone c to cyclohexanol (91 % conv.) at S/C=1000 in 18 h , while with 2 at S/C=1000 and 5000, c is quantitatively reduced in 8 and 25 h, respectively . The ‐Josiphos derivative 4 a affords 99 % conversion of c in 21 h at S/C=500 (entries 7). The aldehyde 4‐bromo‐benzaldehyde d is reduced with 1 (S/C=1000) to the corresponding alcohol (88 % conv.) in 21 h, whereas with 2 quantitative reduction occurs within a shorter time frame (18 h) .To enlarge the scope of the photocatalytic TH, the NNN pincer complexes have been studied in the reduction of (bulky) ketones and aldehydes following the optimized protocol. Thus, 2CO3 (5 mol%) as base leads to a lower rate, with 86 % conversion in 18 h (entry 10). Finally, the biomass derivative 5‐(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5‐HMF) e is efficiently reduced to 2,5‐bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) (96 % conv.) in 24 h with 2 at S/C=1000 (entry 11).Employment of K3 a in iPrOH/MeOH (1 : 1) failed, while 4‐Me‐acetophenone affords 16 % of R alcohol (4 % ee) in 36 h (Table S1). A diastereoselective reduction was observed with Cyrene (dihydrolevoglucosenone) leading to levoglucosanol with an erythro/threo ratio of 1 : 1.7 (22 % conv.). Finally, trans‐cinnamaldehyde has been reduced (31 %) with low selectivity for the C=O vs. C=C bond (Table S1).Attempts to reduce 2‐Me‐acetophenone, 2‐MeO‐acetophenone with a to 1‐phenylethanol with 2 (S/C=5000) in 2‐propanol at 30 °C increases linearly, while in the dark the alcohol is formed in tiny amount (<1%), resulting in a clear “on/off” process and indicating that the pincer photocatalyst is active for days  follows a zero order kinetic till about 80 % conversion and with complete formation of 1‐phenylethanol in 8 h. Conversely, in the dark at 30 °C the conversion is less than 2 % while at refluxing conditions (82 °C) only 11 % of alcohol is formed in 8 h , the reduction of h Figure .2 with NaOiPr (3 equiv.) in 2‐propanol‐d8 at room temperature in the dark leads to a tiny amount of the ruthenium isopropoxide [Ru(OiPr)‐Skewphos)(tpy)](OiPr) (A) species . Upon irradiation (30 min.) the complex A forms quantitatively through photo‐displacement of the chloride and has been characterized by NMR in solution =35.2 Hz) for the P atoms trans to the O and N atoms, whereas the terminal tpy H6 and H6” resonances are at δH=8.80 and 6.70 ppm. In addition, the CH and CH3 signals of the RuOiPr moiety are at δH=3.93, 1.14 ppm and δC=63.1 and 25.3 ppm, respectively, as inferred from 1H‐13C HSQC NMR measurements . After a longer irradiation period (>2 h) the red‐orange solution of A turns dark brown, affording the ruthenium hydride [RuH‐Skewphos)(tpy)](OiPr) (B), through a light‐induced β‐hydrogen elimination with extrusion of acetone, in the presence of uncharacterized species =78.2 and 25.3 Hz, for two P atoms trans and cis to the hydride, in agreement with the related CNN pincer ruthenium hydride complexes containing a diphosphine,δH = 8.30, 8.27, 8.11 and 7.86 ppm for tpy ligand . NMR experiments performed in 2‐propanol/toluene‐d8 (1/1 in volume) as solvent leads to similar results, with formation of B in lower amount  and attempts to isolate the hydride B by treatment of 2 with NaOiPr in 2‐propanol failed. Reaction of the substrate b (1 equiv.) with B in 2‐propanol/ toluene‐d8 (1/1 in volume), followed by irradiation for 1 h, leads to the quantitative conversion to benzhydrol and acetone in the presence of B. Addition of a second equivalent of b give complete reduction after 1 h under light, indicating that the hydride B is involved in the photocatalytic TH . Finally, irradiation of b with B in 2‐propanol‐d8 leads to partial deuteration of benzhydrol at the Cα position, via the formation of a RuD species .The alkoxide iPr derivative A, followed by a β‐H‐elimination of acetone, a process which is also induced by light (photo‐β‐H‐elimination), leading to ruthenium hydride B.C which is protonated by 2‐propanol with formation of the alcohol product and the isopropoxide A that closes the cycle (Scheme A) generally requires a cis vacant site,β‐hydrogen elimination in 18‐electron IrIII complexes through hydrogen bonding with the alcohol media has been claimed by Milstein.A undergoes a β‐hydrogen elimination and that the metal‐hydride B is involved in the ketone reduction, possibly through the formation of a Ru‐alkoxide, on account of the microscopic reversibility. The asymmetric TH of a with chiral pincer derivatives (2‐5) in methanol/2‐propanol can be ascribed to the favorable chiral environment of the photocatalyst possibly by π‐stacking interaction of the aromatic rings. The asymmetric TH of acetophenone by pincer ruthenium complexes indicates that this process occurs through a well‐defined chiral photocatalyst without dissociation of the NNN and PP ligands. Therefore, this represents a rare example of visible light‐induced transition metal catalysis with ruthenium, which combines the catalyst‐substrate interaction with the photoinduced processes.Based on these results, it is likely that photocatalytic TH with the pincer complexes involves a light‐driven substitution of the chloride with formation of the Oe Scheme . It is w6) have been easily prepared in high yield through a one‐pot synthesis from [RuCl2(PPh3)3], a diphosphine, terpyridine (tpy) and additional NaPF6. By using the chiral diphosphines Skewphos, Josiphos and BINAP, single stereoisomers are formed. The reported tpy ruthenium complexes display high catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones and aldehydes to alcohols at 30 °C induced by light irradiation, using 2‐propanol as the only hydrogen donor. These pincer complexes allow a remarkably high S/C up to 5000 and rate (TOFs up to 264 h−1), while poor activity is found under thermal conditions. The chiral complexes [RuCl‐Skewphos)(tpy)]X (X=Cl and PF6) catalyze the TH of acetophenone in methanol/2‐propanol, affording (S)‐1‐phenylethanol in 52 % ee, while the enantiomers [RuCl‐Skewphos)(tpy)]X give the R alcohol. This is the first example of asymmetric catalytic TH of a ketone driven by light, indicating that this reaction occurs at a well‐defined and robust visible light‐induced ruthenium catalyst. For these tpy complexes, photo‐dissociation and photo‐ß‐H‐elimination reactions have been observed and are likely to occur during catalysis. Studies are ongoing to rationalize the mechanism of the photocatalytic reduction and to apply these catalysts in other C−H activation reactions, including asymmetric transformations under light irradiation.In summary, the cationic terpyridine diphosphine ruthenium complexes [RuCl(diphosphine)(tpy)]X 3]1H and 13C{1H}, whereas H3PO4 was used for 31P{1H}.

The catalyst solution  and a 0.1 m solution of NaOiPr  in 2‐propanol were added subsequently to the carbonyl compound solution (1.0 mmol) in 2‐propanol or a 2‐propanol/MeOH (1 : 1 v/v) mixture . The resulting solutions were stirred in a thermostated water bath at 30 °C. Irradiation of the samples was carried out by using a 300 W Xenon Arc Lamp , emitting in the range 200–2500 nm (solar simulator). Samples were purged with Ar at least 15 minutes before irradiation. The reaction was sampled by removing an aliquot of the reaction mixture, which was quenched by addition of diethyl ether (1 : 1 v/v), filtered over a short silica pad and submitted to GC analysis. The base addition was considered as the start time of the reaction. The S/C molar ratio was 1000/1, whereas the base concentration was 2 mol% respect to the ketone substrates (0.1 m). The same procedure was followed for TH reactions with other S/C (in the range 1000–5000) or with different base concentrations (1–10 mol%), using the appropriate amount of catalysts, base and 2‐propanol.X‐ray crystallography: Single crystals of the complex 3 a were obtained by slow cooling of a concentrated solution of the species in MeOH, whereas 4 a crystallizes from CH2Cl2. X‐ray diffraction data were collected on a Bruker D8 Venture equipped with a CMOS detector (Photon‐100), a Mo TXS rotating anode (λ=0.71073 Å), and a Helios optic monochromator (3 a) and a Bruker D8 Venture equipped with a CPAD detector (Photon II), a Mo IMS microsource, and a Helios optic monochromator (4 a).

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) is the tract of the digestive system that contains all the major organs of the digestive system. Disorder in any part of the GI tract results in various disease forms such as malignancies. The occurrence of GI cancer is very high in developed countries including Europe. A wide variety of natural products containing anticancer properties showed significant effects. Ginger, the rhizome of Zingiber officinale, is among one of the natural herbal remedies widely used for its spice and medicinal properties. It is fair sources of vitamins like, β-carotene, vitamin C and minerals. Recently ginger has shown significant attention in clinical studies due to its anti-cancer effects that possesses promising potential for inhibiting the proliferation of multiple cancer cells. The aim of this review is to provide a summarized report of clinical trials on ginger constituents and its effects on gastrointestinal malignancies. A systematic search was conducted by two independent authors on the databases of Scopus, Clinical Trials, PubMed and Science with the search term of the key words. This review article supported that ginger is an important plant with several constituents and gastrointestinal medicinal effects. Ginger constituents suppress the growth and induce apoptosis of variety of cancer types including colon, gastric, pancreatic and other GI cancers. It is mainly the 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol, of the major compounds in ginger rhizomes, among hundreds of molecules. It is reported that antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of ginger support its preventive role against the gastrointestinal malignancies.• This review article provided evidences supporting the effects of ginger on gastrointestinal malignancies and demonstrates the importance of future studies.• Therefore, more extensive and well-controlled clinical trial studies of ginger are required to demonstrate its effect on gastrointestinal malignancies.

Chatbots cannot meet the authorship criteria of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) , particu2. Authors should be transparent when chatbots are used and provide information about how they were used.Since the field is evolving quickly at present, authors using a chatbot to help them write a paper should declare this fact and provide full technical specifications of the chatbot used  and method of application in the paper they are submitting . This is consistent with the ICMJE recommendation of acknowledging writing assistance .3. Authors are responsible for the work performed by a chatbot in their paper  and for appropriate attribution of all sources .Human authors of articles written with the help of a chatbot are responsible for the contributions made by chatbots, including their accuracy. They must be able to assert that there is no plagiarism in their paper, including in text produced by the chatbot. Human authors must ensure there is appropriate attribution of all quoted material, including full citations. They should declare the specific query function used with the chatbot. Authors will need to seek and cite the sources that support the chatbot’s statements. Since a chatbot may be designed to omit sources that oppose viewpoints expressed in its output, it is the authors’ duty to find, review and include such counterviews in their articles.In line with the 4th WAME recommendation , we willJournal of Global Health.

This was associated with the implementation of routine early senior psychiatric CAMHS review and increased access to CAMHS health records for all medical staff providing psychiatric out of hours assessments. The change ideas including development of different admission pathways , weekend CAMHS specialist nurses service and development of a personality disorder pathway were not implemented sustainably. The pathways of care around CYP presenting in crisis are complex. Making sustainable improvements in complex adaptive systems is complex and challenging but not impossible.

Retraction Note: BMC Ophthalmol 20, 289 (2020)https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-020-01565-zThe Editor has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the presented data. Specifically, the flow cytometry plots in Fig. 3a appear not to be representative of the experimental results based on the full data provided by the authors. In addition, the authors used an unsuitable method (Annexin V/PI flow cytometry assay) to distinguish pyroptosis from apoptosis. Furthermore, the western blotting images presented in Fig. 7 do not appear to match the quantitative data in the bar graph. The Editor therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data and the conclusions of this article.Zhijian Li agrees to this retraction.

RSC Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data. The images in the article, and the raw data provided by the authors, were screened by an image integrity expert who identified many instances of image manipulation affecting the western blots.The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this The backgrounds to the western blots in Fig. 1 show splice marks between each pair of bands. The top edge of the FOXO4 control band appears manipulated.In Fig. 2, the top and bottom edges of the two middle bands (Hypoxia + pcDNA3.1) are identical. Analysis of the bands indicates that they are likely to be the stretched versions of the same band.Repeating sections of background have been identified in the HIF-2α and Bnip3 panels in Fig. 4. Repeating sections can also be observed in the backgrounds of both blots in Fig. 5.Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data in the article, the findings presented in this paper are not reliable.The authors have been informed but have not responded to any correspondence regarding the retraction.RSC AdvancesSigned: Laura Fisher, Executive Editor, th January 2021Date: 7
