Abstract
The esterification of carboxylic acids is an important reaction for preparing esters which find wide applications in various research fields. In this manuscript, we report an acid/iodide cooperative catalytic method which enables highly efficient esterification of carboxylic acids with a wide range of equivalent O-H nucleophiles including both alcohols and weak nucleophilic phenols. Under the reaction conditions, both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids including those bearing functional groups work well, furnishing the corresponding esters in good to high yields. Moreover, this reaction is scalable and applicable to the modification of bioactive molecules. These results demonstrate the synthetic value of this new reaction in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Since the pioneering work of Curtius and Fischer, chemical peptide synthesis has witnessed a century's development and evolved into a routine technology. However, it is far from perfect. In particular, it is challenged by sustainable development because the state-of-the-art of peptide synthesis heavily relies on legacy reagents and technologies developed before the establishment of green chemistry. Over the past three decades, a broad range of efforts have been made for greening peptide synthesis, among which peptide synthesis using unprotected amino acid represents an ideal and promising strategy because it does not require protection and deprotection steps. Unfortunately, C → N peptide synthesis employing unprotected amino acids has been plagued by undesired polymerization, while N → C inverse peptide synthesis with unprotected amino acids is retarded by severe racemization/epimerization owing to the iterative activation and aminolysis of high racemization/epimerization susceptible peptidyl acids. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop innovative coupling reagents and strategies with novel mechanisms that can address the long-standing notorious racemization/epimerization issue of peptide synthesis.This Account will describe our efforts in discovery of ynamide coupling reagents and their application in greening peptide synthesis. Over an eight-year journey, ynamide coupling reagents have evolved into a class of general coupling reagents for both amide and ester bond formation. In particular, the superiority of ynamide coupling reagents in suppressing racemization/epimerization enabled them to be effective for peptide fragment condensation, and head-to-tail cyclization, as well as precise incorporation of thioamide substitutions into peptide backbones. The first practical inverse peptide synthesis using unprotected amino acids was successfully accomplished by harnessing such features and taking advantage of a transient protection strategy. Ynamide coupling reagent-mediated ester bond formation enabled efficient intermolecular esterification and macrolactonization with preservation of α-chirality and the configuration of the conjugated α,β-C-C double bond. To make ynamide coupling reagents readily available with reasonable cost and convenience, we have developed a scalable one-step synthetic method from cheap starting materials. Furthermore, a water-removable ynamide coupling reagent was developed, offering a column-free purification of the target coupling product. In addition, the recycle of ynamide coupling reagent was accomplished, thereby paving the way for their sustainable industrial application.As such, this Account presents the whole story of the origin, mechanistic insights, preparation, synthetic applications, and recycle of ynamide coupling reagents with a perspective that highlights their future impact on peptide synthesis.

Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:188. [PMID: 38457047 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06248-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow and high-performance liquid chromatography-UV detector (HPLC-UV, detection at 225 nm) based method was developed for the selective determination of nine alkylphenols (APs) in milk. The functionalized mesoporous UiO-66 (4-meso-UiO-66) was utilized as the new coating material, which was synthesized by post-modification of pore-expanded UiO-66-NH2 by an esterification reaction with 4-pentylbenzoic acid. It was fully characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fourier transformation infrared spectrometry, nitrogen sorption-desorption test, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffractometer. The characterization results showed the ester groups and benzene rings were introduced into the 4-meso-UiO-66, and the mesoporous structure was predominant in the 4-meso-UiO-66. The extraction mechanism of 4-meso-UiO-66 to APs is the synergistic effect of Zr-O electrostatic interaction and the size exclusion effect resulting from XPS, selectivity test, and nitrogen sorption-desorption test. The electrospinning technique was utilized to fabricate the 4-meso-UiO-66 coated SPME Arrow and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was used as the adhesive. The mass rate of 4-meso-UiO-66 to PAN and the electrospinning time were evaluated. The extraction and desorption parameters were also studied. The linear range of this method was 0.2-1000 μg L-1 with a coefficient of determination greater than 0.9989 under the optimal conditions. The detection limits were 0.05-1 μg L-1, the inter-day and intra-day precision (RSD) were 2.8-11.5%, and the recovery was 83.6%-112%. The reusability study showed that the extraction performance of this new SPME Arrow could be maintained after 80 adsorption-desorption cycles. This method showed excellent applicability for the selective determination of APs in milk.

Abstract
Two sets of cascade processes have been realized, both of which were initiated with a benzyne insertion into the Se═O bond. The key factors to differentiate these processes are based on the structures of diaryl selenium oxides and reaction conditions. When diaryl selenium oxides containing an ortho weak σ-electron-withdrawing group were used, triarylselenonium salts were obtained at room temperature, while ortho-(aryloxy)phenyl phenyl selanes could be produced from diaryl selenium oxides at 100 °C.

Abstract
Cu(III)-CF3 compounds are reported herein as novel coupling reagents to mediate ester synthesis from carboxyl acids and alcohols/phenols. Carboxylic acids are transformed to trifluoromethyl ester and acyl fluoride activated species that interact with each other. The broad substrate scope and late-stage application of this method are demonstrated. This study opens up new opportunities to develop interesting reactions using Cu(III)-CF3 compounds without transferring a CF3 group to the products.

Abstract
Acetimidates, a valuable intermediate has been well explored as versatile synthon in a number of organic transformations particularly as suitable donors in glycosylation reactions. Herein, we explored acetimidates to furnish high-to-excellent yield of diverse glycosylated esters under one-pot mild reaction condition. The commercially available trichloroacetonitrile is implemented for the activation of carboxylic acid via in situ generation of trichloroacetimidate, which was subsequently attacked by sugar alcohols to deliver high-to-excellent yields of desired glycosylated esters. The devised method has some notable features such as metal-free condition, one-pot mild reaction condition, easy-handling, high-to-excellent yields, and broad substrate scope.

Abstract
The stannum-ene reactions of both benzyne and cyclohexyne were realized, which is particularly suitable for cyclohexyne with a broad substrate scope and excellent chemoselectivity. Our DFT calculations via distortion/interaction analysis revealed that both stannum- and hydrogen-ene reactions with cyclohexyne have later transition states due to their higher distortion energies in the transition states than those in benzyne reactions, which lead to enhanced Pauli repulsion as the decisive factor in the interaction energy accompanied with enlarged energy gap between two types of ene reactions. Therefore, excellent chemoselectivity was disclosed in the cyclohexyne-ene reaction.
