Abstract
Herein, we report an example of a stereoselective γ-addition reaction of trifluoromethyl ketimines to 1-alkynyl ketones mediated by an isothiourea, BTM, under mild conditions, which afforded tetrasubstituted allenes with central chiralities in high yields (up to 94% yield), good enantioselectivities (up to 91% ee), and excellent diastereoselectivities (all >20 : 1 dr). In addition, the BTM-catalyzed γ-addition reaction was successfully applied to the gram-scale reaction, and an unexpected benzopyrrolothiazine derivative was successfully converted, albeit racemic.

Abstract
Organoboron chemistry has become a cornerstone of modern synthetic methodology. Most of these reactions use an organoboron starting material that contains just one C(sp2)-B or C(sp3)-B bond; however, there has been a recent and accelerating trend to prepare multiborylated alkanes that possess two or more C(sp3)-B bonds. This is despite a lack of general reactivity, meaning many of these compounds currently offer limited downstream synthetic value. This Review summarizes recent advances in the exploration of multiborylated alkanes, including a discussion on how these products may be elaborated in further synthetic manipulations.

Abstract
Organic molecules containing a difluoroalkyl group are valuable and versatile chemicals because of their unique physicochemical and biological properties. Accordingly, the development of efficient and practical difluoroalkylation for the preparation of these compounds is important and attractive. Herein, we demonstrate photoredox-catalyzed and base-dependent selective carbodifluoroalkylation and halodifluoroalkylation of alkenes using readily available 2-(allyloxy)arylaldehydes [or 2-(allylamino)arylaldehydes] and XCF2COOEt (or BrCF2CONR1R2) as starting materials. The developed reaction enables convenient and accurate synthesis of difluoroalkylated chroman-4-ones and aldehydes and features broad substrate scope, mild conditions, and operational simplicity. Moreover, gram-scale product preparation and application of the title protocol in late-stage functionalization of pharmaceutical molecules are accomplished.

Abstract
A one-pot synthesis of functionalized N-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles from readily available di-Boc trifluoromethylhydrazine and dialdehydes, diketones, carbonylnitriles, and ketoesters/amides/acids is described. 19F NMR studies were used to characterize the stability of trifluoromethylhydrazine HCl salt in solution and in solid form and identified a short solution-state half-life of ∼6 h. Optimization of cyclization conditions identified DCM, combined with a strong acid, as a key to suppress the undesired des-CF3 side products, which formed as a result of the instability of trifluoromethylhydrazine and related intermediates. Despite the short-lived nature of these transient intermediates, their reactivity could be utilized to directly deliver a diverse array of pharmaceutically relevant N-trifluoromethyl pyrazoles in synthetically useful yields.

Abstract
Despite the availability of medicines preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, post-exposure treatment options are needed for addressing patient's needs. RSV non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitors (NNI) have emerged as a promising asset for which our group previously disclosed JNJ-8003 with potent in vitro antiviral activity and pronounced in vivo efficacy. In this work, a structural-guided design to modify the linker vector of JNJ-8003 resulted in the identification of 2-oxacyclo pyridine-containing derivatives whose various ring closing strategies are described. In addition, bioisosteric replacement of an amide bond with triazole retained potency, and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) confirmed binding in the capping domain. Subsequent NMR conformational analysis suggested a correlation between the potency and conformations. Our efforts have fulfilled the aim of identifying linker modifications with maintained biological activity while enriching structural diversity and allowing modulations of other parameters.

Abstract
As a defense mechanism against deleterious stimuli, inflammation plays a vital role in the development of many disorders, including atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, septic and non-septic shock, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Despite the serious adverse effects of extended usage, traditional anti-inflammatory medications, such as steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), are commonly used for alleviating symptoms of inflammation. The PPARδ subtype of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) has attracted interest because of its potential for reducing inflammation and related disorders. In this study, a series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Compound 11 exhibited potent PPARδ agonistic activity with EC50 values 20 nM and strong selectivity over PPARα and PPARγ. Furthermore, compound 11 demonstrated favorable in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic properties. In vivo experiments using labeled macrophages and paw thickness measurements confirmed compound 11's potential to reduce macrophage infiltration and alleviate inflammation. These findings highlight compound 11 as a potent and promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of acute inflammatory diseases and warrant further investigation to explore various biological roles.

Abstract
The utility of bio-isosteres is broad in drug discovery and methodology herein enables the preparation of deuterium-labeled products is the most fundamental of known bio-isosteric replacements. As such we report the use of both [D1]-aldehydes and [D2]-isonitriles across 8 multicomponent reactions (MCRs) to give diverse arrays of deuterated products. A highlight is the synthesis of several FDA-approved calcium channel blockers, selectively deuterated at a t 1/2 limiting metabolic soft-spot via use of [D1]-aldehydes. Surrogate pharmacokinetic analyses of microsomal stability confirm prolongation of t 1/2 of the new deuterated analogs. We also report the first preparation of [D2]-isonitriles from [D3]-formamides via a modified Leuckart-Wallach reaction and their use in an MCR to afford products with [D2]-benzylic positions and likely significantly enhanced metabolic stability, a key parameter for property-based design efforts.

Abstract
The incorporation of gem-difluoromethylene units into organic molecules remains a formidable challenge. Conventional methodologies for constructing aryldifluoromethyl derivatives relied on the use of high-functional fluorinating regents under harsh conditions. Herein, we report general and efficient photoredox catalytic systems for defluoroalkylation of readily available trifluoromethylarenes through selective C-F cleavage to deliver gem-difluoromethyl radicals which proceed through reductive addition to both electron-donating and withdrawing alkenes under transition-metal free conditions. Mechanistic studies reveal that thiol serves as both photocatalyst and HAT reagent under visible light irradiation. This synergistic photocatalysis and HAT catalysis protocol exhibits ample and salient features such as high chemo- and regioselectivity, broad substrate scope, amenable gram-scale synthesis and late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Chiral organofluorine compounds featuring a monofluoromethyl (CH2F)-substituted stereocenter are often encountered in a number of drugs and bioactive molecules. Consequently, the development of catalytic asymmetric methods for the enantioselective construction of CH2F-substituted stereocenters has made great progress over the past two decades, and a variety of enantioselective transformations have been accordingly established. According to the types of fluorinated reagents or substrates employed, these protocols can be divided into the following major categories: (i) enantioselective ring opening of epoxides or azetidinium salts by fluoride anions; (ii) asymmetric monofluoromethylation with 1-fluorobis(phenylsulfonyl)methane; (iii) asymmetric fluorocyclization of functionalized alkenes with Selectfluor; and (iv) asymmetric transformations involving α-CH2F ketones, α-CH2F alkenes, or other CH2F-containing substrates. This feature article aims to summarize these recent advances and discusses the possible reaction mechanisms, advantages and limitations of each protocol and their applications. Synthetic opportunities still open for further development are illustrated as well. This review article will be an inspiration for researchers engaged in asymmetric catalysis, organofluorine chemistry, and medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
The targeted and selective replacement of a single atom in an aromatic system represents a powerful strategy for the rapid interconversion of molecular scaffolds. Herein, we report a pyridine-to-benzene transformation via nitrogen-to-carbon skeletal editing. This approach proceeds via a sequence of pyridine ring-opening, imine hydrolysis, olefination, electrocyclization, and aromatization to achieve the desired transmutation. The most notable features of this transformation are the ability to directly install a wide variety of versatile functional groups in the benzene scaffolding, including ester, ketone, amide, nitrile, and phosphate ester fragments, as well as the inclusion of meta-substituted pyridines which have thus far been elusive for related strategies.

Abstract
Human neuraminidases play critical roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Humans have four isoenzymes of NEU, making selective inhibitors important tools to investigate the function of individual isoenzymes. A typical scaffold for NEU inhibitors is 2-deoxy-2,3-didehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA) where C9 modifications can be critical for potency and selectivity against human NEU. To design improved DANA analogues, we generated a library of compounds with either a short alkyl chain or a biphenyl substituent linked to the C9 position through one of six amide bioisosteres. Bioisostere linkers included triazole, urea, thiourea, carbamate, thiocarbamate, and sulfonamide groups. Within this library, we identified a C9 biphenyl carbamate derivative (963) that showed high selectivity and potency for NEU3 (Ki = 0.12 ± 0.01 μM). In contrast, NEU1 and NEU4 isoenzymes preferred amide and triazole linkers, respectively. Finally, analogues with urea, sulfonamide, and amide linkers showed enhanced inhibitory activity for a bacterial NEU, NanI from Clostridium perfringens.

Abstract
CF2-containing compounds hold significant potential in drug discovery, organic synthesis, and materials science. However, synthesizing various CF2-containing building blocks from a single compound remains challenging. Here, we present a Cu-catalyzed, switchable defluoroborylation and hydrodefluorination of trifluoromethylated alkynes, yielding four types of CF2-containing compounds. The chemo- and regio-selective sp2/sp3 1,2-diborylation and sp2 monoborylation of 1-(trifluoromethyl)alkynes are controlled by adjusting the solvent and ligand quantity. Additionally, altering the base allows selective generation of gem-difluoroalkenes or difluoromethylalkenes. Notably, our method prevents over-defluorination of the CF3 group on unsaturated C-C bonds during nucleophilic additions, preserving the pharmaceutically valuable CF2 group. Experimental data and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate the regioselectivities of Cu-Bpin addition and the regulatory role of the ligand in selective deborylation processes.

Abstract
The fluorosulfonyldifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes and (hetero)arenes with iododifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride (ICF2SO2F) under visible light photoredox catalysis was successfully developed. Key to the successful fluorosulfonyldifluoromethylation of aromatic compounds was the usage of AgOTf as an additive to promote the formation of the CF2SO2F radical. The protocol provided a straightforward way to introduce the interesting and useful CF2SO2F group on sp3 and sp2 carbons.

Abstract
The difluoromethyl group (CF2H) serves as an essential bioisostere in drug discovery campaigns according to Lipinski's Rule of 5 due to its advantageous combination of lipophilicity and hydrogen bonding ability, thereby improving the ADME properties. However, despite the high prevalence and importance of vicinal hydrogen bond donors in pharmaceutical agents, a general synthetic method for doubly difluoromethylated compounds in the vicinal position is absent. Here we describe a copper-electrocatalyzed strategy that enables the vicinal bis(difluoromethylation) of alkenes. By leveraging electrochemistry to oxidize Zn(CF2H)2(DMPU)2-a conventionally utilized anionic transmetalating source, we paved a way to utilize it as a CF2H radical source to deliver the CF2H group in the terminal position of alkenes. Mechanistic studies revealed that the interception of the resultant secondary radical by a copper catalyst and subsequent reductive elimination is facilitated by invoking the Cu(III) intermediate, enabling the second installation of the CF2H group in the internal position. The utility of this electrocatalytic 1,2-bis(difluoromethylation) strategy has been highlighted through the late-stage bioisosteric replacement of pharmaceutical agents such as sotalol and dipivefrine.

Abstract
With advances in organoboron chemistry, boron-centered functional groups have become increasingly attractive. In particular, alkylboron species are highly versatile reagents for organic synthesis, but the direct generation of alkyl radicals from commonly used, bench-stable boron species has not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we describe a method for activating C-B bonds by nitrogen- or oxygen-radical transfer that is applicable to alkylboronic acids and esters and can be used for both Michael addition reactions and Minisci reactions to generate alkyl or arylated products.

Abstract
Synthesis of bicyclic scaffolds has gained significant attention in drug discovery due to their potential to mimic benzene bioisosteres. Here, we present a mild and scalable Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) with ynamides, yielding a diverse array of polysubstituted 2-amino-bicyclo[2.1.1]hexenes in good to excellent yields. These products offer valuable starting materials for the construction of novel functionalized bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction involves a nucleophilic addition of ynamides to bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes, followed by an intramolecular cyclization of in situ generated enolate and keteniminium ion. We expect that these findings will encourage utilization of complex bioisosteres and foster further investigation into BCB-based cycloaddition chemistry.

Abstract
Benzenes, the most ubiquitous structural moiety in marketed small-molecule drugs, are frequently associated with poor 'drug-like' properties, including metabolic instability, and poor aqueous solubility. In an effort to overcome these limitations, recent developments in medicinal chemistry have demonstrated the improved physicochemical profiles of C(sp3)-rich bioisosteric scaffolds relative to arenes. In the past two decades, we have witnessed an exponential increase in synthetic methods for accessing saturated bioisosteres of monosubstituted and para-substituted benzenes. However, until recent discoveries, analogous three-dimensional ortho-substituted and meta-substituted biososteres have remained underexplored, owing to their ring strain and increased s-character hybridization. This Review summarizes the emerging synthetic methodologies to access such saturated motifs and their impact on the application of bioisosteres for ortho-substituted, meta-substituted and multi-substituted benzene rings. It concludes with a perspective on the development of next-generation bioisosteres, including those within novel chemical space.

Abstract
The fluoroalkyl-containing organic molecules are widely used in drug discovery and material science. Herein, we report ligand regulated nickel(0)-catalyzed regiodivergent hydrosilylation of α-(fluoroalkyl)styrenes without defluorination, providing an atom- and step-economical synthesis route of two types of fluoroalkyl substituted silanes with exclusive regioselectivity. The anti-Markovnikov addition products (β-fluoroalkyl substituted silanes) are formed with monodentate phosphine ligand. Noteworthy, the bidentate phosphine ligand promote the generation of the more challenging Markovnikov products (α-fluoroalkyl substituted silanes) with tetrasubstituted saturated carbon centers. This protocol features with easy available starting materials and commercially available nickel catalysis, a wide range of substrates and excellent regioselectivity. The structure divergent products undergo a variety of transformations. Comprehensive mechanistic studies including the inverse kinetic isotope effects demonstrate the regioselectivity controlled by ligand structure through α-CF3 nickel intermediate. DFT calculations reveal a distinctive mechanism involving an open-shell singlet state, which is crucial for generating intricate tetra-substituted Markovnikov products.

Abstract
Sulfonyl chlorides not only play a crucial role in protecting group chemistry but also are important starting materials in the synthesis of sulfonamides, which are in-demand motifs in drug discovery chemistry. Despite their importance, the number of different synthetic approaches to sulfonyl chlorides is limited, and most of them rely on traditional oxidative chlorination chemistry from thiol precursors. In this report, we disclose a novel Sandmeyer-type sulfonyl chloride synthesis from feedstock anilines and DABSO, used as a stable SO2 surrogate, in the presence of HCl and a Cu catalyst. The method works on a wide range of anilines and allows for the isolation of the sulfonyl chloride after aqueous workup or its direct conversion into the sulfonamide by simple addition of an amine after the completion of the Sandmeyer reaction. The scalability of this method was demonstrated on a 20 g scale, and the corresponding heterocyclic sulfonyl chloride was isolated in 80% yield and excellent purity.

Abstract
A mild and efficient electrochemical method for radical addition, cyclization, and migration reaction was described in this work. A difluoromethyl radical was produced by anodizing CF2HSO2Na. The resulting product was then added to olefin, underwent Smiles cyclization, and migrated to form β-difluoromethamide compounds after the release of SO2. The process was free from metals and catalysts, gram-grade, and resistant to a variety of electron-rich substrates.

Abstract
Bicyclic carbocycles containing a high fraction of Csp3 have become highly attractive synthetic targets because of the multiple applications they have found in medicinal chemistry. The formal cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) with two- or three-atom partners has recently been extensively explored for the construction of bicyclohexanes and bicycloheptanes, but applications to the synthesis of medium-sized bridged carbocycles remained more limited. We report herein the formal [4+2] cycloaddition of BCB ketones with silyl dienol ethers. The reaction occurred in the presence of 5 mol% aluminium triflate as a Lewis acid catalyst. Upon acidic hydrolysis of the enol ether intermediates, rigid bicyclo[4.1.1]octane (BCO) diketones could be accessed in up to quantitative yields. This procedure tolerated a range of both aromatic and aliphatic substituents on both the BCB substrates and the dienes. The obtained BCO products could be functionalized through reduction and cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
Highly constrained bicyclic scaffolds are ubiquitous and attracting increasing interest in pharmaceutical and biotechnology discoveries owing to the enhanced activities. Herein, we report a protocol to access highly substituted constrained bicycloalkanes from readily accessible α-silyl alcohols and olefins through a bibase-promoted Brook rearrangement/radical-polar crossover cyclization (RPCC) process. Of note, the practical procedure features broad substrate scope and good group tolerance under mild and operationally simple conditions, using an inexpensive organic photocatalyst. Gram-scale preparation and diverse synthetic transformations demonstrate opportunities to rapidly construct molecular complexity. Mechanistic studies have indicated that the transformation involves a bibase-promoted radical transfer rearrangement addition/radical-polar crossover cyclization relay sequence, which differs from traditional solitary RPCC reactions.

Abstract
As the least abundant residue in proteins, tryptophan widely exists in peptide drugs and bioactive natural products and contributes to drug-target interactions in multiple ways. We report here a clickable tryptophan modification for late-stage diversification of native peptides, via catalyst-free C2-sulfenylation with 8-quinoline thiosulfonate reagents in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). A wide range of groups including trifluoromethylthio (SCF3), difluoromethylthio (SCF2H), (ethoxycarbonyl)difluoromethylthio (SCF2CO2Et), alkylthio, and arylthio were readily incorporated. The rapid reaction kinetics of Trp modification and full tolerance with other 19 proteinogenic amino acids, as well as the super dissolving capability of TFA, render this method suitable for all kinds of Trp-containing peptides without limitations from sequences, hydrophobicity, and aggregation propensity. The late-stage modification of 15 therapeutic peptides (1.0 to 7.6 kilodaltons) and the improved bioactivity and serum stability of SCF3- and SCF2H-modified melittin analogs illustrated the effectiveness of this method and its potential in pharmacokinetic property improvement.

Abstract
This study presents an effective route to access functionalizable fluorinated enamides characterized by their high regiospecificity around the allenamide. Synthetic applications of the resulting difluorocarbonyl-bearing enamide products were pursued through straightforward synthetic transformations to prepare unknown functionalized valuable halogenated O-heterocycles and C5 skeletons. Experimental mechanistic studies showed that hydrodifluoroalkylation occurs via a hidden Brønsted acid activation, thereby establishing a new electrophilic activation mode for allenamide through a conjugated iminium intermediate.

Abstract
Cp2Fe-mediated electrochemical synthesis of a diverse array of phosphorylated azaspiro[4.5]di/trienones has been developed, which demonstrated broad substrate scope and good diastereoselectivity. It represents the first example of electrochemical synthesis of phosphorylated azaspiro[4.5]di/trienones, circumventing the need for external oxidants and high temperatures. Moreover, a plausible mechanism including radical-initiated dearomative cyclization driven by ferrocenium cations has been provided, which was supported by the related mechanistic study.

Abstract
Herein we present our studies on the solvent-controlled difunctionalization of alkenes utilizing chlorodifluoroacetic acid (CDFA) and α-halo carboxylic acids for the synthesis of γ-lactones, γ-lactams and α,α-difluoroesters. Mechanistic insights revealed that photocatalytic reductive mesolytic cleavage of the C-X bond delivers elusive α-carboxyl alkyl radicals. In the presence of an olefin molecule, this species acts as a unique bifunctional intermediate allowing for stipulated formation of C-O, C-N and C-H bonds on Giese-type adducts via single electron transfer (SET) or hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) events. These protocols exhibit great efficiency across a broad spectrum of readily available α-halo carboxylic acids and are amenable to scalability in both batch and flow. To demonstrate the versatility of this concept, the synthesis of (±)-boivinianin A, its fluorinated analog and eupomatilone-6 natural products was successfully accomplished.

Abstract
Bridged bicyclic scaffolds are emerging bioisosteres of planar aromatic rings under the concept of "escape from flatland". However, adopting this concept into the exploration of bioisosteres of pyridines remains elusive due to the challenge of incorporating a N atom into such bridged bicyclic structures. Herein, we report practical routes for the divergent synthesis of 2- and 3-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptenes (aza-BCHepes) as potential bioisosteres of pyridines from the readily accessible vinyl azides and bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) via two distinct catalytic annulations. The reactivity of vinyl azides tailored with BCBs is the key to achieving divergent transformations. TiIII-catalyzed single-electron reductive generation of C-radicals from BCBs allows a concise (3 + 3) annulation with vinyl azides, affording novel 2-aza-BCHepe scaffolds. In contrast, scandium catalysis enables an efficient dipolar (3 + 2) annulation with vinyl azides to generate 2-azidobicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes, which subsequently undergo a chemoselective rearrangement to construct 3-aza-BCHepes. Both approaches efficiently deliver unique azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptene scaffolds with a high functional group tolerance. The synthetic utility has been further demonstrated by scale-up reactions and diverse postcatalytic transformations, providing valuable azabicyclics including 2- and 3-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and rigid bicyclic amino esters. In addition, the related sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom and the similar geometric property between pyridines and corresponding aza-BCHepes indicate that they are promising bioisosteres of pyridines.

Abstract
An organo-photoredox catalyzed gem-difluoroallylation of both acyclic and cyclic ketone derivatives with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes has been demonstrated, thus giving access to a diverse set of gem-difluoroalkenes in moderate to high yields. Pro-aromatic dihydroquinazolinones can be either pre-formed or in situ generated for ketone activation. This reaction is characterized by readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. The feasibility of this reaction has been highlighted by the late-stage modification of several natural products and drug-like molecules as well as the in vitro antifungal activity.

Abstract
The development of green and efficient deuteration methods is of great significance for various fields such as organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we have developed a dehalogenative deuteration strategy using piezoelectric materials as catalysts in a solid-phase system under ball-milling conditions. This non-spontaneous reaction is induced by mechanical force. D2O can serve as both a deuterium source and an electron donor in the transformation, eliminating the need for additional stoichiometric exogenous reductants. A series of (hetero)aryl iodides can be transformed into deuterated products with high deuterium incorporation. This method not only effectively overcomes existing synthetic challenges but can also be used for deuterium labelling of drug molecules and derivatives. Bioactivity experiments with deuterated drug molecule suggest that the D-ipriflavone enhances the inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation of BMDMs in vitro.

Abstract
The prevention or control of bacterial infections requires continuous search for novel approaches among which bacterial quorum sensing inhibition is considered as a complementary antibacterial strategy. Quorum sensing, used by many different bacteria, functions through a cell-to-cell communication mechanism relying on chemical signals, referred to as autoinducers, such as N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) which are the most common chemical signals in this system. Designing analogs of these autoinducers is one of the possible ways to interfere with quorum sensing. Since bioisosteres are powerful tools in medicinal chemistry, targeting analogs of AHLs or other signal molecules and mimics of known QS modulators built on amide bond bioisosteres is a relevant strategy in molecular design and synthetic routes. This review highlights the application of amide bond bioisosteric replacement in the design and synthesis of novel quorum sensing inhibitors.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed intramolecular hydrosilylation can be efficiently achieved with high regio- and stereoselectivities through two distinct methodologies. The first approach utilizes a conventional method, involving the reduction of nickel salt (NiBr2-2,2'-bipyridine) using manganese metal. The second method employs a one-step electrochemical reaction, utilizing the sacrificial anode process and NiBr2bipy catalysis. Both methods yield silylated heterocycles in good to high yields through a syn-exo-dig cyclization process. Control experiments and molecular electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry) provided further insights into the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of α-deuterated α-amino esters via hydrogen isotope exchange of α-amino esters in D2O with 2-hydroxynicotinaldehyde as a catalyst under mild conditions. This methodology exhibits a wide range of substrate scopes, remarkable functional group tolerance, and affording the desired products in good yields with excellent deuterium incorporation. Notably, the ortho-hydroxyl group and the pyridine ring of the catalyst play a crucial role in the catalytic activity, which not only stabilizes the carbon-anion intermediates but also enhances the acidity of the amino esters' α-C-H bond.

Abstract
Here, we present a straightforward α-trans-selective hydroboration of alkynyl sulfones with NHC-boranes without the need for a catalyst. This reaction is compatible with a wide range of substrates for efficiently producing structurally diverse α-borylated vinyl sulfones in satisfactory yields. The hydride transfer from NHC-borane 2a to alkynyl triflone 1b is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations for trans-hydroboration. Moreover, a regiodivergent deuterated semihydrogenation of alkynyl triflones has also been developed using D2O as the deuterium source. A variety of diversity-oriented D-containing vinyl triflones were prepared in good to excellent yields with excellent deuterium incorporation ratios. Synthetic manipulations of the deuterated products are achieved for the conversion into valuable deuterated molecules, indicating the utility of this protocol.

Abstract
The direct 1,6-nucleophilic difluoromethylation, trifluoromethylation, and difluoroalkylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with Me3SiRf (Rf = CF2H, CF3, CF2CF3, CF2COOEt, and CF2SPh) under mild conditions are described. Although Me3SiCF2H shows lower reactivity than Me3SiCF3, it can react with p-QMs promoted by CsF/18-Crown-6 to give structurally diverse difluoromethyl products in good yields. The products can then be further converted into fluoroalkylated para-quinone methides and α-fluoroalkylated diarylmethanes.

Abstract
Specific labeling of proteins using membrane-permeable fluorescent probes is a powerful technique for bioimaging. Cationic fluorescent dyes with high fluorescence quantum yield, photostability, and water solubility provide highly useful scaffolds for protein-labeling probes. However, cationic probes generally show undesired accumulation in organelles, which causes a false-positive signal in localization analysis. Herein, we report a design strategy for probes that suppress undesired organelle accumulation using a bioisostere for intracellular protein imaging in living cells. Our design allows the protein labeling probes to possess both membrane permeability and suppress non-specific accumulation and has been shown to use several protein labeling systems, such as PYP-tag and Halo tag systems. We further developed a fluorogenic PYP-tag labeling probe for intracellular proteins and used it to visualize multiple localizations of target proteins in the intracellular system. Our strategy offers a versatile design for undesired accumulation-suppressed probes with cationic dye scaffolds and provides a valuable tool for intracellular protein imaging.

Abstract
Cyclic β,β-difluoro-carbonyl compounds have a venerable history as drug discovery leads, but limitations in the synthesis arsenal continue to impede chemical space exploration. This challenge is particularly acute in the arena of fluorinated medium rings where installing the difluoromethylene unit subtly alters the ring conformation by expanding the internal angle (∠C-CF2-C>∠C-CH2-C): this provides a handle to modulate physicochemistry (e.g. pKa). To reconcile this disparity, a highly modular ring expansion has been devised that leverages simple α,β-unsaturated esters and amides, and processes them to one-carbon homologated rings with concomitant geminal difluorination (6 to 10 membered rings, up to 95 % yield). This process is a rare example of the formal difluorination of an internal alkene and is enabled by sequential I(III)-enabled O-activation. Validation of enantioselective catalysis in the generation of unprecedented medium ring scaffolds is reported (up to 93 : 7 e.r.) together with X-ray structural analyses and product derivatization.

Abstract
Triazole demonstrates distinctive physicochemical properties, characterized by weak basicity, various dipole moments, and significant dual hydrogen bond acceptor and donor capabilities. These features are poised to play a pivotal role in drug-target interactions. The inherent polarity of triazole contributes to its lower logP, suggesting the potential improvement in water solubility. The metabolic stability of triazole adds additional value to drug discovery. Moreover, the metal-binding capacity of the nitrogen atom lone pair electrons of triazole has broad applications in the development of metal chelators and antifungal agents. This Perspective aims to underscore the unique physicochemical attributes of triazole and its application. A comparative analysis involving triazole isomers and other heterocycles provides guiding insights for the subsequent design of triazoles, with the hope of offering valuable considerations for designing other heterocycles in medicinal chemistry.

[PMID: 38764685 PMCID: PMC11097363 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c01055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Fluorinated compounds are a staple of modern-day chemical innovation, and efficient strategies for their synthesis are highly valuable. In this chemical space, fluoroalkenes continue to be the object of much interest across diverse fields, including drug development and pharmaceuticals with active roles as bioisosteres. Herein, in expanding chemists' synthetic toolbox for constructing valuable organofluorine compounds, we report a "pipeline" strategy for the synthesis of fluorinated olefins, viz., gem-difluoroalkenyl and monofluoroalkenyl arenes with high E-isomeric selectivity. The advantages of this streamlined synthetic protocol include mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and good to excellent yields, even at gram scales. Critical to this robust procedure is the use of widely available and inexpensive "scavenger" solid-support Merrifield peptide resin for removing phosphine impurities. Further computational investigations offering clarity into this reactivity are disclosed.

Abstract
A convenient method for the synthesis of perdeuterated alkyl amides/amines is disclosed. Perdeuterated acetyl amides can be achieved by a hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange protocol with Pt/C as a catalyst and D2O as a deuterium source under mild conditions. After removal or reduction of the acetyl group, this protocol can provide perdeuterated primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, which are difficult to achieve via other methods.

Murray M. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derived lipid mediators: a comprehensive update on their application in anti-cancer drug discovery. Expert Opin Drug Discov 2024; 19:617-629. [PMID: 38595031 DOI: 10.1080/17460441.2024.2340493] [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: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION ω-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have a range of health benefits, including anticancer activity, and are converted to lipid mediators that could be adapted into pharmacological strategies. However, the stability of these mediators must be improved, and they may require formulation to achieve optimal tissue concentrations. AREAS COVERED Herein, the author reviews the literature around chemical stabilization and formulation of ω-3 PUFA mediators and their application in anticancer drug discovery. EXPERT OPINION Aryl-urea bioisosteres of ω-3 PUFA epoxides that killed cancer cells targeted the mitochondrion by a novel dual mechanism: as protonophoric uncouplers and as inhibitors of electron transport complex III that activated ER-stress and disrupted mitochondrial integrity. In contrast, aryl-ureas that contain electron-donating substituents prevented cancer cell migration. Thus, aryl-ureas represent a novel class of agents with tunable anticancer properties. Stabilized analogues of other ω-3 PUFA-derived mediators could also be adapted into anticancer strategies. Indeed, a cocktail of agents that simultaneously promote cell killing, inhibit metastasis and angiogenesis, and that attenuate the pro-inflammatory microenvironment is a novel future anticancer strategy. Such regimen may enhance anticancer drug efficacy, minimize the development of anticancer drug resistance and enhance outcomes.

Promising Anticancer Prodrugs Based on Pt(IV) Complexes with Bis-organosilane Ligands in Axial Positions. J Med Chem 2024; 67:6410-6424. [PMID: 38592014 PMCID: PMC11056991 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c02393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
We report two novel prodrug Pt(IV) complexes with bis-organosilane ligands in axial positions: cis-dichloro(diamine)-trans-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamate]platinum(IV) (Pt(IV)-biSi-1) and cis-dichloro(diisopropylamine)-trans-[3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl carbamate]platinum(IV) (Pt(IV)-biSi-2). Pt(IV)-biSi-2 demonstrated enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity against colon cancer cells (HCT 116 and HT-29) compared with cisplatin and Pt(IV)-biSi-1. Notably, Pt(IV)-biSi-2 exhibited higher cytotoxicity toward cancer cells and lower toxicity on nontumorigenic intestinal cells (HIEC6). In preclinical mouse models of colorectal cancer, Pt(IV)-biSi-2 outperformed cisplatin in reducing tumor growth at lower concentrations, with reduced side effects. Mechanistically, Pt(IV)-biSi-2 induced permanent DNA damage independent of p53 levels. DNA damage such as double-strand breaks marked by histone gH2Ax was permanent after treatment with Pt(IV)-biSi-2, in contrast to cisplatin's transient effects. Pt(IV)-biSi-2's faster reduction to Pt(II) species upon exposure to biological reductants supports its superior biological response. These findings unveil a novel strategy for designing Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs with enhanced activity and specificity, offering therapeutic opportunities beyond conventional Pt drugs.
