Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a growing global health concern. In recent decades, natural and synthetic chromenone have emerged as promising drug candidates due to their multi-target potential. Natural chromenone, quercetin, scopoletin, esculetin, coumestrol, umbelliferone, bergapten, and methoxsalen (xanthotoxin), and synthetic chromenone hybrids comprising structures like acridine, 4-aminophenyl, 3-arylcoumarins, quinoline, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-triazole, and tacrine, have been explored for their potential to combat AD. Key reactions used for synthesis of chromenone hybrids include Perkin and Pechmann condensation. The activity of chromenone hybrids has been reported against several drug targets, including AChE, BuChE, BACE-1, and MAO-A/B. This review comprehensively explores natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic chromenone, elucidating their synthetic routes, possible mode of action/drug targets and structure-activity relationships (SAR). The acquired knowledge provides valuable insights for the development of new chromenone hybrids against AD.

Abstract
Azo compounds such as diethyl azodicarboxylate have been used in oxidative coupling reactions to generate iminium ions from tertiary amines. However, the requirement of stoichiometric amounts of azo compounds limits their large-scale applications. Herein, we present an aerobic oxidative α-cyanation of tertiary amines using catalytic amounts of an azo compound or hydrazine. The developed protocol provides a practical and ecofriendly route for α-cyanated tertiary amines, using molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant.

Abstract
We report herein a mild electrochemical method to transform alcohols into their corresponding nitriles by using commercially available reagents. This protocol accepts substrates with various functional groups including those that are susceptible to oxidative decomposition. Mechanistic studies revealed a critical iodide-mediated phosphine electrochemical oxidation pathway leading to the alkoxyphosphonium intermediate, followed by nucleophilic substitution by a cyanide nucleophile. This method demonstrates the use of electrochemistry in replacing azo-type reagents in direct nucleophilic substitution and homologation of alcohol substrates.

Abstract
A reaction-based optical relay sensing strategy that enables accurate determination of the concentration and enantiomeric ratio (er) of challenging chiral alcohols exhibiting stereocenters at the α-, β-, γ- or even δ-position or hard-to-detect cryptochirality arising from H/D substitution is described. This unmatched application scope is achieved with a conceptually new sensing approach by which the alcohol moiety is replaced with an optimized achiral sulfonamide chromophore to minimize the distance between the covalently attached chiroptical reporter unit and the stereogenic center in the substrate. The result is a remarkably strong, red-shifted CD induction that increases linearly with the sample er. The CD sensing part of the tandem assay is seamlessly coupled to a redox reaction with a quinone molecule to generate a characteristic UV response that is independent of the enantiopurity of the alcohol and thus allows determination of the total analyte concentration. The robustness and utility of the CD/UV relay are further verified by chromatography-free asymmetric reaction analysis with small aliquots of crude product mixtures, paving the way toward high-throughput chiral compound screening workflows which is a highly sought-after goal in the pharmaceutical industry.

New substituted benzoxazine derivatives as potent inducers of membrane permeability and cell death. Bioorg Med Chem 2024; 111:117849. [PMID: 39068873 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
The search for new agents targeting different forms of cell death is an important research focus for developing new and potent antitumor therapies. As a contribution to this endeavor, we have designed and synthesized a series of new substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives. These compounds have been evaluated for their efficacy against MCF-7 breast cancer and HCT-116 colon cancer cell lines. Overall, substituting this heterocycle led to improved antiproliferative activity compared to the unsubstituted derivative 1. The most active compounds, 2b and 4b, showed IC50 values of 2.27 and 3.26 μM against MCF-7 cells and 4.44 and 7.63 μM against HCT-116 cells, respectively. To investigate the mechanism of action of the target compounds, the inhibition profile of 8 kinases involved in cell signaling was studied highlighting residual activity on HER2 and JNK1 kinases. 2b and 4b showed a consistent binding mode to both receptor kinases, establishing significant interactions with known and catalytically important domains and residues. Compounds 2b and 4b exhibit potent cytotoxic activity by disrupting cell membrane permeability, likely triggering both inflammatory and non-inflammatory cell death mechanisms. This dual capability increases their versatility in the treatment of different stages or types of tumors, providing greater flexibility in clinical applications.

Abstract
The development of effective strategies to forge C-O and C-S bonds in diverse chemical spaces is of considerable interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Herein we report a versatile approach for the modular synthesis of structurally diverse (thio)ethers and (thio)esters via homologative coupling of α-halodiborylmethane followed by transformation of the introduced diborylmethyl group. This method accommodates a wide array of oxygen- and sulfur-containing molecules, including biologically active compounds. The initial coupling exhibits a broad substrate scope, while subsequent diversification of the diborylmethyl moiety enables access to various structural motifs through deborylative alkylation, Zweifel olefination, and boron-Wittig reaction. This protocol efficiently generates diversely functionalized (thio)ethers and (thio)esters, expanding the toolkit for accessing biologically relevant scaffolds.

Abstract
Machine learning-driven computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP) tools have become important tools for idea generation in the design of complex molecule synthesis but do not adequately address the stereochemical features of the target compounds. A novel approach to automated extraction of templates used in CASP that includes stereochemical information included in the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and an internal AstraZeneca database containing reactions from Reaxys, Pistachio, and AstraZeneca electronic lab notebooks is implemented in the freely available AiZynthFinder software. Three hundred sixty-seven templates covering reagent- and substrate-controlled as well as stereospecific reactions were extracted from the USPTO, while 20,724 templates were from the AstraZeneca database. The performance of these templates in multistep CASP is evaluated for 936 targets from the ChEMBL database and an in-house selection of 791 AZ designs. The potential and limitations are discussed for four case studies from ChEMBL and examples of FDA-approved drugs.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed reaction of indolines with 1-acyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles or 1-acyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles in air produces N-alkylated indoles. A combination of Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2 and dppf effectively catalyzes the reaction of 1-acyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles, and the combination of Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2 and dcypf is more effective for the reaction of 1-acyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles. The method has a wide scope of substrates and shows good compatibility of functional groups.

Abstract
A modular, enantioselective approach to access the bioactive 7,9-dihydroxy- and 9-hydroxy-7-keto-8,4'-oxyneolignans is disclosed, which employs stereoselective Mitsunobu reactions of enantiopure 2-aryl-1,3-dioxan-5-ols and functionalized phenols. The enantiopure dioxanols are prepared through Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of protected coniferyl or sinapyl alcohols and subsequent benzylidene acetal formation. Through a mix-and-match coupling approach, six of the eight possible erythro-7,9-dihydroxy-8,4'-oxyneolignan enantiomeric natural products (bearing a C-1' hydroxypropyl chain) were generated following sequential deprotection. Subsequent benzylic oxidation afforded the 7-keto-derivatives, resulting in enantioselective syntheses of each enantiomer of the natural products asprenol B and icariol A1.

Abstract
N-Alkoxyphthalimides, one kind of phthalimide derivative, have great importance in synthesis, mainly used as free radical precursors. While the phthalimide unit, for a long time, was treated as part of the waste stream. Construction of C-N bonds has always been a hot spot, especially in reductive cross-coupling. Herein, a nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction of N-methoxyphthalimides with alkyl halides is described, where N-methoxyphthalimides serve as nitrogen electrophiles. This tactic provides a new approach to construct C-N bonds under mild neutral conditions. Alkyl chlorides, bromides, iodides, and sulfonates are all fit to this transformation. Moreover, the reaction could tolerate a broad substrate scope, especially base-sensitive functional groups (boron or silicon groups), as well as competitive nucleophilic groups (phenols and amides), which are incompatible with traditional Gabriel synthesis under basic conditions, demonstrating a complementary role of this work to Gabriel synthesis.

This metal- and base-free approach features very short reaction times (about 10 min), broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, N1-benzlated products have also been successfully applied to the concise synthesis of N-substituted indoles and anticancer drug MDM2 inhibitor.

Abstract
The cluster of four skipped exo-methylene substituents on the "northern" wing of limaol renders this dinoflagellate-derived marine natural product unique in structural terms. This arguably non-thermodynamic array gains kinetic stability by virtue of populating local conformations which impede isomerization to a partly or fully conjugated polyene. This analysis suggested that the difficulties encountered during the late stages of our first total synthesis of this polyketide had not been caused by an overly fragile character of this unusual substructure; rather, an unfavorable steric microenvironment about the spirotricyclic core was identified as the likely cause. To remedy the issue, the protecting groups on this central fragment were changed; in effect, this amendment allowed all strategic and practical problems to be addressed. As a result, the overall yield over the longest linear sequence was multiplied by a factor of almost five and the material throughput increased more than eighty-fold per run. Key-to-success was a gold-catalyzed spirocyclization reaction; the reasons why a Brønsted acid cocatalyst is needed and the origin of the excellent levels of selectivity were delineated. The change of the protecting groups also allowed for much improved fragment coupling processes; most notably, the sequence of a substrate-controlled carbonyl addition reaction followed by Mitsunobu inversion that had originally been necessary to affix the southern tail to the core could be replaced by a reagent controlled asymmetric allylation. Finally, a much-improved route to the "northern" sector was established by leveraging the power of asymmetric hydrogenation of a 2-pyrone derivative. Limaol was found to combine appreciable antiparasitic activity with very modest cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Molecular modifications have been practiced for more than a century and nowadays they are widely applied in food, pharmaceutical, or other industries to manipulate the physicochemical, bioactivity, metabolic/catabolic, and pharmacokinetic properties. Among various structural modifications, the esterification/O-acylation has been well-established in altering lipophilicity and bioactivity of parent bioactive compounds, especially natural polyphenolics, while maintaining their high biocompatibility. Meanwhile, various classic chemical and enzymatic protocols and other recently emerged cell factory technology are being employed as viable esterification strategies. In this contribution, the main motivations of phenolic esterification, including the tendency to replace synthetic alkyl phenolics with safer alternatives in the food industry to improve the bioavailability of phenolics as dietary supplements/pharmaceuticals, are discussed. In addition, the toxicity, metabolism, and commercial application of synthetic and natural phenolics are briefly introduced. Under these contexts, the mechanisms and reaction features of several most prevalent chemical and enzymatic esterification pathways are demonstrated. In addition, insights into the studies of esterification modification of natural phenolic compounds and specific pros/cons of various reaction systems with regard to their practical application are provided.

Abstract
Trivalent phosphine catalysis is mostly utilized to activate the carbon-carbon multiple bonds to form carbanion intermediate species and is highly sensitive to certain variables. Random manual multi-variables are critical for understanding the batch disabled regeneration of trivalent phosphine chemistry. We need the artificial intelligence-based system which can change the variable based on previously conducted failed experiment. Herein, we report an auto-optimized electro-micro-flow reactor platform for the in-situ reduction of stable P(V) oxide to sensitive P(III) and further utilized the method for Corey-Fuchs reaction.

Abstract
The C(sp3)-N bond is ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, biologically active molecules and functional materials. Consequently, the development of practical and efficient methods for C(sp3)-N bond formation has attracted more and more attention. Compared to the conventional ionic pathway-based thermal methods, photochemical processes that proceed through radical mechanisms by merging photoredox and transition-metal catalyses have emerged as powerful and alternative tools for C(sp3)-N bond formation. In this review, recent advances in the burgeoning field of C(sp3)-N bond formation via metallaphotoredox catalysis have been highlighted. The contents of this review are categorized according to the transition metals used (copper, nickel, cobalt, palladium, and iron) together with photocatalysis. Emphasis is placed on methodology achievements and mechanistic insight, aiming to inspire chemists to invent more efficient radical-involved C(sp3)-N bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
Alcohols are among the most abundant chemical feedstocks, yet they remain vastly underutilized as coupling partners in transition metal catalysis. Herein, we describe a copper metallaphotoredox manifold for the open shell deoxygenative coupling of alcohols with N-nucleophiles to forge C(sp3)-N bonds, a linkage of high value in pharmaceutical agents that is challenging to access via conventional cross-coupling techniques. N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-mediated conversion of alcohols into the corresponding alkyl radicals followed by copper-catalyzed C-N coupling renders this platform successful for a broad range of structurally unbiased alcohols and 18 classes of N-nucleophiles.

Abstract
Trialkyl- and triarylphosphines readily adsorb onto the surface of porous activated carbon (AC) even in the absence of solvents through van der Waals interactions between the lone electron pair and the AC surface. This process has been proven by solid-state NMR techniques. Subsequently, it is demonstrated that the AC enables the fast and selective oxidation of adsorbed phosphines to phosphine oxides at ambient temperature in air. In solution, trialkylphosphines are oxidized to a variety of P(V) species when exposed to the atmosphere, while neat or dissolved triarylphosphines cannot be oxidized with air. When the trialkyl- and triarylphosphines PnBu3 (1), PEt3, (2), PnOct3 (3), PMetBu2 (4), PCy3 (5), and PPh3 (6) are adsorbed in a mono- or submonolayer on the surface of AC, in the absence of a solvent and at ambient temperature, they are quantitatively oxidized to the adsorbed phosphine oxides, 1ox-6ox, once air is admitted. No formation of any unwanted P(V) side products or water adducts is observed. The phosphine oxides can then be recovered in good yields by washing them off of the AC. The oxidation is likely facilitated by a radical activation of molecular oxygen due to delocalized electrons on the aromatic surface coating of AC, as proven by ESR. This easy and inexpensive oxidation method renders hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizers unnecessary and is broadly applicable to sterically hindered and even to air-stable triarylphosphines. Phosphines adsorbed at lower surface coverages on AC oxidize at a faster rate. All oxidation reactions were monitored by solution- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The classic chemical Mitsunobu reaction suffers from the need of excess alcohol activation reagents and the generation of significant by-products. Efforts to overcome these limitations have resulted in numerous creative solutions, but the substrate scope of these catalytic processes remains limited. Here we report an electrochemical Mitsunobu-type reaction, which features azo-free alcohol activation and broad substrate scope. This user-friendly technology allows a vast collection of heterocycles as the nucleophile, which can couple with a series of chiral cyclic and acyclic alcohols in moderate to high yields and excellent ee's. This practical reaction is scalable, chemoselective, uses simple Electrasyn setup with inexpensive electrodes and requires no precaution to exclude air and moisture. The synthetic utility is further demonstrated on the structural modification of diverse bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical derivatives and its straightforward application in a multiple-step synthesis of a drug candidate.

Abstract
We introduce a new use of sulfonyl fluoride as a bifunctional reagent that facilitates the one-step deoxy-diversification of complex alcohol libraries. Our reaction design features a Sulfur(VI) Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) mediated activation of alcohols and fluoride-induced activation of silicon-bound nucleophiles. This method enables the direct conversion of alcoholic C-O bonds in complex molecules into diverse analogues via C-C, C-N, C-Cl, and C-Br bond formation while suppressing any elimination side-products.

Abstract
We disclose the development of a Cu-catalyzed C-O coupling method utilizing a new N1,N2-diarylbenzene-1,2-diamine ligand, L8. Under optimized reaction conditions, structurally diverse aryl and heteroaryl bromides underwent efficient coupling with a variety of alcohols at room temperature using an L8-based catalyst. Notably, the L8-derived catalyst exhibited enhanced activity when compared to the L4-based system previously disclosed for C-N coupling, namely the ability to functionalize aryl bromides containing acidic functional groups. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that C-O coupling utilizing L8 ⋅ Cu involves rate-limiting alkoxide transmetallation, resulting in a mechanism of C-O bond formation that is distinct from previously described Pd-, Cu-, or Ni-based systems. This lower energy pathway leads to rapid C-O bond formation; a 7-fold increase relative to what is seen with other ligands. The results presented in this report overcome limitations in previously described C-O coupling methods and introduce a new ligand that we anticipate may be useful in other Cu-catalyzed C-heteroatom bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
An improved protocol has been developed for the direct sulfonamidation of unactivated alkyl alcohols using In(OTf)3 as a Lewis acid catalyst. Although the established methods using Lewis or Brønsted acids have been well-studied for the direct functionalization of alcohols, their substrate scope mainly focuses on the π-activated alcohols. In this reaction, unactivated aliphatic alcohols were evaluated and afforded the desired sulfonamide products with good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed multicomponent carbonylation is an efficient synthetic strategy to access multifunctional esters in high yields with broad functional group tolerance and good chemoselectivity. Considering the development of highly efficient synthetic methods for esters, it remains significant to grasp the mechanism of constructing multifunctional esters. Herein, density functional theoretical calculations were carried out to acquire mechanistic insight into the synthesis of β-perfluoroalkyl esters from a specific palladium-catalyzed perfluoroalkylative carbonylation of unactivated alkenes using carbon monoxide. A detailed mechanistic understanding of this reaction route includes (1) multistep radical reaction process, (2) C-C coupling and CO insertion, (3) ligand exchange, and (4) Pd-based intermediate oxidation and reductive elimination. The multistep radical process was fundamentally rationalized, including Rf· formation and radicals A and E from unactivated alkene and CO oxidation, respectively. The potential energy calculation indicated that the CO insertion into the perfluorinated alkyl radicals preceded Pd-catalyzed oxidation in the competitively multistep free radical reaction process. In addition, the I-/PhO- exchange step was predicted to be spontaneous to products. The IGMH analysis further attested to the reductive elimination process involved in the rate-determining step. Thus, a simple and valid density functional theory (DFT) approach was developed to reveal the multistep radical mechanism for the Pd-catalyzed perfluoroalkylative carbonylation of unactivated alkenes to access functional β-perfluoroalkyl esters.

Abstract
Herein, the first total synthesis of natural 13-hydroxy-14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione along with the revision of the proposed configuration is reported. This natural product, initially discovered in 2018, belongs to the oxacyclododecindione family, renowned for their remarkable anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activities. The synthetic route involves an esterification/Friedel-Crafts-acylation approach and uses various triol fragments. It allows the preparation of different stereoisomers, including the (revised) natural product, two threo-derivatives, and two Z-isomers of the endocyclic C═C double bond. Furthermore, a late-stage inversion of the C-13 stereocenter could transform the originally proposed structure into the revised natural product. With this comprehensive set of compounds and the previously prepared (13R,14S,15R)-isomer, deeper insights into their structural properties and biological activities were obtained. A detailed analysis of the final macrolactones using spectroscopy (NMR, IR, UV-vis) and X-ray crystallography gave new insights such as the significance of the optical rotation for the elucidation of their configuration and the light-induced E/Z double-bond photoisomerization. The pharmacological potential of the compounds was underlined by remarkably low IC50 values in biological assays addressing the inhibition of cellular inflammatory responses.

Abstract
This study outlines the total synthesis of (+)-monocillin II, wherein a cis-isomer selectively produces a trans-isomer during the ring-closing metathesis. The Mitsunobu reaction conducted at -60 °C, facilitating the formation of an ester bond, was the key to completing the total synthesis, which was accomplished in the longest linear sequence of 10 steps with an overall yield of 9.3%.

Abstract
Reaction conditions that are generally applicable to a wide variety of substrates are highly desired, especially in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries1-6. Although many approaches are available to evaluate the general applicability of developed conditions, a universal approach to efficiently discover these conditions during optimizations is rare. Here we report the design, implementation and application of reinforcement learning bandit optimization models7-10 to identify generally applicable conditions by efficient condition sampling and evaluation of experimental feedback. Performance benchmarking on existing datasets statistically showed high accuracies for identifying general conditions, with up to 31% improvement over baselines that mimic state-of-the-art optimization approaches. A palladium-catalysed imidazole C-H arylation reaction, an aniline amide coupling reaction and a phenol alkylation reaction were investigated experimentally to evaluate use cases and functionalities of the bandit optimization model in practice. In all three cases, the reaction conditions that were most generally applicable yet not well studied for the respective reaction were identified after surveying less than 15% of the expert-designed reaction space.

Abstract
The identification of VHL-binding proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) that potently degrade the BRM protein (also known as SMARCA2) in SW1573 cell-based experiments is described. These molecules exhibit between 10- and 100-fold degradation selectivity for BRM over the closely related paralog protein BRG1 (SMARCA4). They also selectively impair the proliferation of the H1944 "BRG1-mutant" NSCLC cell line, which lacks functional BRG1 protein and is thus highly dependent on BRM for growth, relative to the wild-type Calu6 line. In vivo experiments performed with a subset of compounds identified PROTACs that potently and selectively degraded BRM in the Calu6 and/or the HCC2302 BRG1 mutant NSCLC xenograft models and also afforded antitumor efficacy in the latter system. Subsequent PK/PD analysis established a need to achieve strong BRM degradation (>95%) in order to trigger meaningful antitumor activity in vivo. Intratumor quantitation of mRNA associated with two genes whose transcription was controlled by BRM (PLAU and KRT80) also supported this conclusion.

Abstract
Reactions of picolinamides with 1,3-propanesultone in methanol followed by the treatment with ketones led to a series of previously unknown chemical transformations, yielding first pyridinium salts (2a-f), with a protonated endocyclic nitrogen atom, and then heterocyclic salts (3a-j) containing an imidazolidin-4-one ring. The structures of intermediate and final products were determined by IR and 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray study. The effects of the ketone and alcohol structures on the product yield were studied by quantum-chemical calculations. The stability of salts 3a-j towards hydrolysis and alcoholysis makes them excellent candidates for the search for new types of biologically active compounds.

Abstract
Due to notable thermochemical stability, polyphosphamides are often regarded as flame retardants, while molecular phosphamides can serve as versatile Lewis base to catalyze diverse organic transformations. Being chemically analogous to phosphine oxide, phosphamide can also be considered as a mediator for the phosphine-mediated reaction. Herein, an amorphous polymeric material consisting of phosphamide (-NH-P(O)) in the repeating unit (POP) has been prepared via condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) and phenyl phosphinic dichloride (PPDC). The POP is isolated as a metal-free and pure organic material which is made of a strong covalent bond and the phosphamide unit is deployed in the organic framework. The presence of phosphamide in the repeating unit of the isolated amorphous POP material can be confirmed by 31P CPMAS NMR, FTIR, and Raman studies. The core-level N 2p and P 2p X-ray photoelectron spectra are in accordance with the presence of tertiary amine nitrogen attached to carbon and secondary amine nitrogen attached to phosphorus. Elemental analyses have depicted approximately 19.7% of phosphorus content in the material, which is being utilized to study the catalytic Appel reaction with 76% conversion of alcohol to a corresponding halide and TON of 462. Quasi in situ Raman study has identified that amino phosphine formed via in situ reduction of the phosphamide unit of the POP catalyzes the halogenation of primary and secondary alcohols with wide substrate scope and functional group tolerance. Kinetic studies have established a first-order dependence with respect to alcohol, while deuterium labeling experiments emphasize that the deprotonation of alcohol is the rate-limiting step. High thermal stability of the material, scope of easy catalyst recyclability, and a cumulative TON of 1386 have led the POP as an emerging pure organic material to be explored further for other phosphine-mediated organocatalysis.

Abstract
A new catalytic approach toward the symmetrical and nonsymmetrical etherification of benzyl alcohols was developed. The symmetrical etherification reaction was carried out in the presence of FeCl3·6H2O (5 mol %) as the catalyst and propylene carbonate as a green and recyclable solvent and led to the corresponding symmetrical ethers in 53 to 91% yields. The nonsymmetrical etherification of benzylic alcohols was achieved by using FeCl2·4H2O (10 mol %) in the presence of a pyridine bis-thiazoline ligand (12 mol %) and allowed for high selectivity and in 52 to 89% yields. These methods take advantage of eco-friendly conditions.

Abstract
Structural determination is required in the use of marine natural products to create novel drugs and drug leads in medicinal chemistry. Symbiodinolide, which is a polyol marine natural product with a molecular weight of 2860, increases the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and exhibits inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase-1. Seventy percent of the structure of symbiodinolide has been stereochemically clarified. Herein, we report the elucidation of the relative configuration of the C61-C83 fragment, which is among the remaining thirty percent, using a stereodivergent synthetic strategy. We first assigned the relative configuration of the C61-C74 fragment. Two candidate diastereomers of the C61-C74 fragment were synthesized, and their NMR data were compared with those of the natural product, revealing the relative stereochemistry of this component. We then narrowed down the candidate compounds for the C69-C83 fragment from 16 possible diastereomers by analyzing the NMR data of the natural product, and we thus selected eight candidate diastereomers. Stereodivergent synthesis of the candidates for this fragment and comparison of the NMR data of the natural product and the eight synthetic products resulted in the relative stereostructural clarification of the C69-C83 fragment. These individually determined relative stereochemistries of the C61-C74 and C69-C83 fragments were connected via the common C69-C73 tetrahydropyran moiety of the fragments. Finally, the relative configuration of the C61-C83 fragment of symbiodinolide was determined. The stereodivergent synthetic approach used in this study can be extended to the stereochemical determination of other fragments of symbiodinolide.

Abstract
Herein we develop a metal-free umpolung dehydroxytrifluoromethylthiolation of alcohols with commercially available PPh3 and N-trifluoromethylthiophthalimide within 30 minutes. This protocol shows excellent functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity. The dehydroxytrifluoromethylthiolation of a series of natural products and drugs further demonstrates its practicality. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that PPh3 is responsible for deoxygenation and the key trifluoromethylthiophosphonium ion may be hydrolyzed by H2O in solvent.

Abstract
A convergent route for the asymmetric total synthesis of antibacterial macrolide sorangiolide A has been developed for the first time. The key feature of this synthesis includes Krische iridium-catalyzed anti-diastereoselective carbonyl crotylation, Crimmins acetate aldol, Yamaguchi esterification, Julia-Kocienski olefination, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, and ring-closing metathesis. The origin of the low intensity of the 13C{1H} NMR signals of the C1 and C2 centers of the natural product has been investigated, disclosing possible forms of existence for the natural product in the solution phase.

Abstract
A mild and regiodivergent aminoalkylation of unactivated alkyl halides is disclosed via a dual photoredox/nickel catalysis. Bipyridyl-type ligands without an ortho-substituent control the site-selective coupling at the original position, while ortho-disubstituted ligands tune the site-selectivity at a remote, unprefunctionalized position. Mechanistic studies combined with DFT calculations give insight into the mechanism and the origins of the ligand-controlled regioselectivity. Notably, this redox-neutral, regiodivergent alkyl-alkyl coupling features mild conditions, broad substrate scope for both alkyl coupling partners, and excellent site-selectivity and offers a straightforward way for α-alkylation of tertiary amines to synthesize structurally diverse alkylamines and value-added amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
The electrophilic potential of diazirines has been utilized to obtain N-substituted diaziridines that are directly hydrolyzed to produce monosubstituted hydrazines. The hydrazines can undergo the Fisher process with enolizable carbonyls to yield multiple indole derivatives in moderate to high yields. The N-metalated diaziridine intermediates can undergo isomerization prior to electrophilic substitution, to form N,N-disubstituted hydrazones. The latter react with enolizable carbonyls to produce N-protected indole derivatives in a single step. This protocol was used to efficiently synthesize indomethacin, an anti-inflammatory drug.

Abstract
Herein, we report a facile synthesis of 5-(3-oxindolyl)oxazole derivatives via a sequential annulation and isomerisation reaction of 3-acylmethylidene oxindoles with in situ generated Huisgen zwitterions (HZs) from PPh3 and azodicarboxylates. This reaction exhibits good functional group tolerance with 30 examples of structurally diverse products prepared with moderate to good efficiencies (up to 88% yield), thus providing a generally applicable route to the biologically important 5-(3-indolyl)oxazole structural motifs. Key to the success of this sequential one-pot strategy is the utilization of DBU as a base to promote the isomerisation process of the corresponding intermediate annulation products.

Abstract
2,2-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane is a natural product isolated from Ageratina grandifolia that exhibits inhibitory activity against yeast α-glucosidase. Initially, its structure was proposed to be 4-hydroxy-3-((S)-1'-angeloyloxy-(R)-2',3'-epoxy-3'-methyl)butylacetophenone with an epoxide, but the structure was later revised to 2,2-dimethyl-3R-hydroxy-4S-(1-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane. In this study, we present a total synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane from A. gradifolia and its stereoisomers. The key features of their synthesis include Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of a readily available benzopyran substrate and subsequent Mitsunobu or Steglich reaction to provide both cis- and trans-isomers with chiral control. The absolute stereochemistry of the natural product was determined to be 2,2-dimethyl-3S-hydroxy-4R-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane based on optical rotations of the synthesized compounds. The absolute configuration of the synthesized stereoisomers was confirmed by Mosher ester analysis. In addition, we provided ECD spectra for the four stereoisomers, which will allow verification of the absolute configuration of the natural product. Synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1'-angeloyloxy)-6-acetylchromane would facilitate the exploration of their potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogen atom transfer from metal-hydrides to alkenes allows feedstock olefins to be used as alkyl radical precursors. The chemoselectivity of this process makes it an attractive synthetic tool and as such it has been regularly used in synthesis of complex molecules. However, onwards reactivity is limited by compatibility with the conditions which form the key metal-hydride species. Now, through the merger with photocatalysis or electrochemistry, milder methods are emerging which can unlock entirely new reactivity and offer perspectives on expanding these methods in unprecedented directions. This review outlines the most recent developments in electro- and photochemical cobalt catalysed methods and offers suggestions on the future outlook.

Abstract
This manuscript describes the development of the first diastereoselective intermolecular synthesis of alkyl ethers via reductive etherification of diverse ketones or aldehydes with alcohols. Key to this development was the use of low-temperature high-throughput experimentation (HTE) technologies that enabled rapid reaction optimizations and parallel synthesis. A broad scope of pharmaceutically relevant substrates was surveyed, which formed alkyl ethers effectively. In addition, we demonstrated that the diastereoselectivity of this transformation can be readily modulated by prudent selection of the reductant.

Abstract
The development of catalytic and enantioselective transformations for the synthesis of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has long been recognized as a significant challenge in organic synthesis. While considerable progress has been made in asymmetric allylations, their potential to functionalize the commonly used synthon, epoxide, remains largely underexplored. Here we demonstrate the first highly regio- and enantioselective allylation of epoxides that delivers a range of quaternary stereocenters in the face of potentially problematic elimination and protonation reactions. The reaction proceeds via a radical approach under mild conditions and benefits from the use of earth-abundant titanium with a highly sophisticated salen ligand, which facilitates remarkable enantiocontrol and suppresses undesired side reactions. The resulting allylation products are multifunctional building blocks that can be elaborated chemo- and stereoselectively to a broad array of stereodefined structural motifs.

Abstract
A novel and flexible approach for the stereo-controlled synthesis of vicinal tertiary carbinols is reported. The developed strategy featured a highly diastereoselective singlet-oxygen (O2 1 ) [4+2] cycloaddition of rationally designed cyclohexadienones (derived from oxidative dearomatization of the corresponding carboxylic-acid appended phenol precursors), followed by programmed "O-O" and "C-C" bond cleavage. In doing so, a highly functionalized and versatile intermediate was identified and prepared in synthetically useful quantity as a plausible precursor to access a variety of designed and naturally occurring vicinal tertiary carbinol containing compounds. Most notably, the developed strategy was successfully applied in the stereo-controlled synthesis of advanced core structures of zaragozic acid, pactamycin and ryanodol.

Abstract
Primary amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. Ammonia serves as the primary nitrogen source in amination reactions, and its utilization in solution or as a pure gas has witnessed notable advancements. However, the use of gaseous ammonia remains problematic in academic laboratory settings, while employing aqueous ammonia poses challenges in highly water-sensitive transformations. Consequently, the search for alternative sources of ammonia has garnered considerable attention among the organic chemistry community. This comprehensive literature review focuses on the use of ammonia surrogates in amination reactions, irrespective of the resulting intermediate. The review emphasizes the formation of the C-N bond and underscores the importance of generating intermediate products that can be readily transformed into primary amines through well-established reactions.

Most existing methods for the synthesis of alkyl aryl thioethers require the use of mercaptans as the starting materials, which comes with practical limitations. Reactions of diaryliodonium salts with xanthate salts, easily prepared from the corresponding alcohols and CS2, under the developed conditions represent an operationally simple, thiol-free method for the synthesis of these valuable compounds. The protocol features high functional group tolerance and can be applied to the late-stage C-H functionalization and for the introduction of a CD3S group.

Abstract
Deoxygenation of phosphine oxides is of great significance to synthesis of phosphorus ligands and relevant catalysts, as well as to the sustainability of phosphorus chemistry. However, the thermodynamic inertness of P═O bonds poses a severe challenge to their reduction. Previous approaches in this regard rely primarily on a type of P═O bond activation with either Lewis/Brønsted acids or stoichiometric halogenating reagents under harsh conditions. Here, we wish to report a novel catalytic strategy for facile and efficient deoxygenation of phosphine oxides via successive isodesmic reactions, whose thermodynamic driving force for breaking the strong P═O bond was compensated by a synchronous formation of another P═O bond. The reaction was enabled by PIII/P═O redox sequences with the cyclic organophosphorus catalyst and terminal reductant PhSiH3. This catalytic reaction avoids the use of the stoichiometric activator as in other cases and features a broad substrate scope, excellent reactivities, and mild reaction conditions. Preliminary thermodynamic and mechanistic investigations disclosed a dual synergistic role of the catalyst.

Abstract
A green method to construct C-S bonds using sulfonyl chlorides and alcohols/acids via a PIII/PV═O catalytic system is reported. The organophosphorus-catalyzed umpolung reaction promotes us to propose the "dual-substrate deoxygenation" strategy. Herein, we adopt the "dual-substrate deoxygenation" strategy, which achieves the deoxygenation of sulfonyl chlorides and alcohols/acids to synthesize thioethers/thioesters driven by PIII/PV═O redox cycling. The catalytic method represents an operationally simple approach using stable phosphine oxide as a precatalyst and shows broad functional group tolerance. The potential application of this protocol is demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of drug analogues.

Abstract
As part of the valorization of agricultural waste into bioactive compounds, a series of structurally novel oleanolic acid ((3β-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, OA-1)-phtalimidines (isoindolinones) conjugates 18a-u bearing 1,2,3-triazole moieties were designed and synthesized by treating an azide 4 previously prepared from OA-1 isolated from olive pomace (Olea europaea L.) with a wide range of propargylated phtalimidines using the Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry approach. OA-1 and its newly prepared analogues, 18a-u, were screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, and two Gram-negative bacteria, Salmonella thyphimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Attractive results were obtained, notably against L. monocytogenes. Compounds 18d, 18g, and 18h exhibited the highest antibacterial activity when compared with OA-1 and other compounds in the series against tested pathogenic bacterial strains. A molecular docking study was performed to explore the binding mode of the most active derivatives into the active site of the ABC substrate-binding protein Lmo0181 from L. monocytogenes. Results showed the importance of both hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with the target protein and are in favor of the experimental data.
