Abstract
The design of small molecules with unique geometric profiles or molecular connectivity represents an intriguing yet neglected challenge in modern organic synthesis. This challenge is compounded when emphasis is placed on the preparation of new chemotypes that have distinct and practical functions. To expand the structural diversity of boron-containing heterocycles, we report herein the preparation of novel monocyclic hemiboronic acids, diazaborines. These compounds have enabled the study of a pseudoaromatic boranol-containing (B-OH) ring free of influence from an appended aromatic system. Synthetic and spectroscopic studies have provided insight into the aromatic character, Lewis acidic nature, chemical reactivity, and unique ability of the exocyclic B-OH unit to participate in hydroxy exchange, suggesting their use in organocatalysis and as reversible covalent inhibitors. Moreover, density functional theory and nucleus-independent chemical shift calculations reveal that the aromatic character of the boroheterocyclic ring is increased significantly in comparison to known bicyclic benzodiazaborines (naphthoid congeners), consequently leading to attenuated Lewis acidity. Direct structural comparison to a well-established biaryl isostere, 2-phenylphenol, through X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that N-aryl derivatives are strikingly similar in size and conformation, with attenuated logP values underscoring the value of the polar BNN unit. Their potential application as low-molecular-weight scaffolds in drug discovery is demonstrated through orthogonal diversification and preliminary antifungal evaluation (Candida albicans), which unveiled analogs with low micromolar inhibitory concentration.

Abstract
DATB (1,3-dioxa-5-aza-2,4,6-triborinane) is a unique six-membered heterocycle exhibiting proficient catalytic activity in direct dehydrative amidation. Reported herein is an improved synthetic protocol for DATB derivatives featuring a concise two-step chromatography-free process. Suzuki-Miyaura coupling assembled 2,6-dibromoaniline derivatives and 1,2-phenylenediboronic acid to afford dimeric B-spiroborate salts. Acidic untying of the spiroborates gave rise to the DATB ring system with various substituents.

Abstract
Diboron substructures have emerged as a promising scaffold for the catalytic dehydrative amidation of carboxylic acids and amines. This Letter describes the design, synthesis, and evaluation of the first isolable N(BOH)2 compound as an amidation catalyst. The new catalyst outperforms the previously reported B3NO2 heterocycle catalyst, with respect to turnover frequency, albeit the former gradually decomposes upon exposure to amines. This work opens up an avenue for designing a better catalyst for direct amidation.

Abstract
In recent decades, a growing interest has been observed among pharmaceutical companies in producing and selling 80 FDA-approved therapeutic peptides. However, there are many drawbacks to peptide synthesis at the academic and industrial scales, involving the use of large amounts of highly hazardous coupling reagents and solvents. This review focuses on hideous and observant wastes produced before, during, and after peptide synthesis and proposes some solutions to reduce them.

Abstract
Although heterocyclic hemiboronic acids are represented in several recently approved drugs, many questions remain unanswered regarding the physical properties and reactivity of these boranol (BOH)-containing compounds in aqueous media. Over the past 60 years, studies on the acidic and aromatic character of 10-hydroxy-10,9-boroxarophenanthrene and its boraza analog have been conflicting. In contradiction with the Lewis acidic behavior of arylboronic acids in aqueous conditions, it has been proposed that the central boroheterocyclic ring of these borophenanthroids confers sufficient aromatic character to compel the boranol unit to behave as a Brønsted acid and favor the boron oxy conjugate base, thereby avoiding the disruption of cyclic resonance that would otherwise occur with a tetravalent boronate anion. These questions are addressed with a combination of physical and spectroscopic characterizations, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and computational studies. Although both oxa and aza derivatives are conclusively shown to behave as Lewis acids in aqueous solutions, according to pKa measurements and MO and NICS calculations, only the boraza derivatives possess an appreciable aromatic character within the boroheterocyclic ring. For the first time, the possibility of dynamic chemical exchange via a reversible hydrolysis of the endocyclic B-heteroatom bond was examined using VT and EXSY NMR with suitable probe compounds. Whereas the boraza analog is static at neutral pH, its oxa analog undergoes a rapid hydrolytic ring opening-closing equilibrium with the transient boronic acid. Altogether, this study will guide the methodical application of these heterocycles as reaction catalysts, in bioconjugation, and as new-drug chemotypes and bioisosteres of pharmaceutically important classes of heterocycles.

Abstract
![]()
Methyltrimethoxysilane [MTM, CH3Si(OMe)3]
has been demonstrated to be an effective, inexpensive, and safe reagent
for the direct amidation of carboxylic acids with amines. Two simple
workup procedures that provide the pure amide product without the
need for further purification have been developed. The first employs
an aqueous base-mediated annihilation of MTM. The second involves
simple product crystallization from the reaction mixture providing
a low process mass intensity
direct amidation protocol.

Abstract
We have achieved substitutional doping of ullazine with either two BO units or with one BO unit and one BN unit. The synthesis of these B-doped ullazines is straightforward, using demethylation and borylative cyclization as the key steps. Ullazine cores of both BN/BO-ullazines (2) and bis-BO-ullazines (3) are very close to being planar. Their electronic and photophysical properties were investigated by ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory calculations.

We report the catalytic direct peptide bond formations via dehydrative condensation of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids, affording the serine, threonine, or β-hydroxyvaline-derived peptides in high to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance, minimum epimerization, and excellent chemoselectivity. The key to the success of these atom-economical transformations is the use of diboronic acid anhydride catalyst for the hydroxy-directed reactions.

Abstract
Catalytic direct amidation reactions have been the focus of considerable recent research effort, due to the widespread use of amide formation processes in pharmaceutical synthesis. However, the vast majority of catalytic amidations are performed in non-polar solvents (aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers) which are typically undesirable from a sustainability perspective, and are often poor at solubilising polar carboxylic acid and amine substrates. As a consequence, most catalytic amidation protocols are unsuccessful when applied to polar and/or functionalised substrates of the kind commonly used in medicinal chemistry. In this paper we report a practical and useful catalytic direct amidation reaction using tert-butyl acetate as the reaction solvent. The use of an ester solvent offers improvements in terms of safety and sustainability, but also leads to an improved reaction scope with regard to polar substrates and less nucleophilic anilines, both of which are important components of amides used in medicinal chemistry. An amidation reaction was scaled up to 100 mmol and proceeded with excellent yield and efficiency, with a measured process mass intensity of 8.

Abstract
Formamide catalysis enables highly cost-efficient amide C–N and ester C–O bond formation through carboxylic acid chlorides as essential intermediates.
A novel, broadly applicable method for amide C–N and ester C–O bond formation is presented based on formylpyrrolidine (FPyr) as a Lewis base catalyst. Herein, trichlorotriazine (TCT), which is the most cost-efficient reagent for OH-group activation, was employed in amounts of ≤40 mol% with respect to the starting material (100 mol%). The new approach is distinguished by excellent cost-efficiency, waste-balance (E-factor down to 3) and scalability (up to >80 g). Moreover, high levels of functional group compatibility, which includes acid-labile acetals and silyl ethers, are demonstrated and even peptide C–N bonds can be formed. In comparison to reported amidation procedures using TCT, yields are considerably improved (for instance from 26 to 91%) and esterification is facilitated for the first time in synthetically useful yields. These significant enhancements are rationalized by activation by means of acid chlorides instead of less electrophilic acid anhydride intermediates.

Abstract
The direct catalytic dehydrative amidation of β-hydroxycarboxylic acids with amines is described. A biphenyl-based diboronic acid anhydride with a B-O-B skeleton is shown to be an exceptionally effective catalyst for the reaction, providing β-hydroxycarboxylic amides in high to excellent yields with a low catalyst loading (minimum of 0.01 mol %, TON up to 7,500). This hydroxy-directed amidation shows excellent chemoselectivity and is applicable to gram-scale drug synthesis.

Abstract
The B3 NO2 six-membered heterocycle (1,3-dioxa-5-aza-2,4,6-triborinane=DATB), comprising three different non-carbon period 2 elements, has been recently demonstrated to be a powerful catalyst for dehydrative condensation of carboxylic acids and amines. The tedious synthesis of DATB, however, has significantly diminished its utility as a catalyst, and thus the inherent chemical properties of the ring system have remained virtually unexplored. Here, a general and facile synthetic strategy that harnesses a pyrimidine-containing scaffold for the reliable installation of boron atoms is disclosed, giving rise to a series of Pym-DATBs from inexpensive materials in a modular fashion. The identification of a soluble Pym-DATB derivative allowed for the investigation of the dynamic nature of the B3 NO2 ring system, revealing differential ring-closing and -opening behaviors depending on the medium. Readily accessible Pym-DATBs proved their utility as efficient catalysts for dehydrative amidation with broad substrate scope and functional-group tolerance, offering a general and practical catalytic alternative to reagent-driven amidation.
