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
Direct amidation of carboxylic acids with amines holds significant importance; therefore, catalytic processes involving boronic acids have undergone extensive investigation. However, studies focused on the amidation of aromatic carboxylic acids remain limited. In this study, we introduce a fluorescence-based screening methodology employing an anthracene derivative probe, facilitating the rapid evaluation of various amidation catalysts. Using this approach, boronic acids were evaluated for their catalytic potential. Our findings reveal that 2-hydroxyphenylboronic acid (C7), previously deemed inefficient for aliphatic acids, effectively catalyzes the amidation of aromatic acids. The catalysts identified through this method consistently achieved high yields, reaching up to 98% across a broad spectrum of substrates.

Abstract
High-throughput synthesis and screening of chemical libraries play pivotal roles in drug discovery. Click chemistry has emerged as a powerful strategy for constructing highly modular chemical libraries. However, the development of new click reactions and unlocking new clickable building blocks remain exceedingly challenging. Herein, we describe a double-click strategy that enables the sequential ligations of widely available carboxylic acids and amines with fluorosulfuryl isocyanate (FSO2NCO) via a modular amidation/SuFEx (sulfur-fluoride exchange) process. This method provides facile access to chemical libraries of N-fluorosulfonyl amides (RCONHSO2F) and N-acylsulfamides (RCONHSO2NR'R'') in near-quantitative yields under simple and practical conditions. The robustness and efficiency of this double click strategy is showcased by the facile construction of chemical libraries in 96-well microtiter plates from a large number of carboxylic acids and amines. Preliminary biological activity screening reveals that some compounds exhibit high antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus and drug-resistant MRSA (MIC up to 6.25 μg ⋅ mL-1). These results provide compelling evidence for the potential application of modular click chemistry library as an enabling technology in high-throughput medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Alternating-rich copolymer of vinylboronic acid pinacol ester (VBpin) and maleic anhydride (MAH) was found to catalyze direct dehydrative esterification of carboxylic acid and alcohol. The key to the catalytic function is the activation of the MAH unit by the neighboring Lewis acidic boron directly connected to the backbone through the formation of five-membered ring. The effects of the side-chain cooperation were clarified through comparisons with the polymers having similar structures and a conventional titanium catalyst as well as the analyses of reactions with carboxylic acid or alcohol. The catalytic activity was enhanced as the molecular weight was higher, which is owing to the structural feature that boron is directly attached to the backbone. The cooperative catalysis is of interest because of its conceptual similarity with enzyme.

Abstract
Over past decades, chiral amides and peptides have emerged as powerful and versatile compounds due to their various biological activities and interesting molecular architectures. Although some chiral condensation reagents have been applied successfully for their synthesis, the introduction of racemization-free methods of amino acid activation have shown lots of advantages in terms of their low cost and low toxicity. In this review, advancements in amide and peptide synthesis using racemization-free coupling reagents over the last 10 years are summarized. Various racemization-free coupling reagents have been applied in the synthesis of enantioselective amides and peptides, including ynamides, allenones, HSi[OCH(CF3)2]3, Ta(OMe)5, Nb(OEt)5, Ta(OEt)5, TCFH-NMI, water-removable ynamides, DBAA, DATB, o-NosylOXY, TCBOXY, Boc-Oxyma, NDTP, 9-silafluorenyl dichlorides, the Mukaiyama reagent, EDC and T3P. The racemization-free reagents described in this review provide an alternative greener option for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amides and peptides. We hope that this review will inspire further studies and developments in this field.

Abstract
A boronic acid-catalyzed peptide bond formation from α-amino acid methyl esters is described. The catalysis showed high chemoselectivity for β-hydroxy-α-amino esters, affording the peptides in high to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance. This hydroxy-directed peptide bond formation could be applicable to oligopeptide syntheses. This is the first successful example of organoboron-catalyzed peptide bond formation from α-amino acid-derived inert esters.

Abstract
Through systematic optimization of halopyridinium compounds, we established a peptide coupling protocol utilizing 4-iodine N-methylpyridinium (4IMP) for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The 4IMP coupling reagent is easily prepared, bench stable, and cost-effective. Employing 4IMP in the SPPS process has showcased remarkable chemoselectivity and efficiency, effectively eliminating racemization and epimerization. This achievement has been substantiated through the successful synthesis of a range of peptides via the direct utilization of commercially available amino acid substrates for SPPS.

Abstract
We present a solvent-free thermo-mechanochemical approach for the direct coupling of carboxylic acids and amines, which avoids activators and additives. Detailed analysis of the reactions by ex situ and in situ monitoring methods led to the observation, isolation, and characterisation of multicomponent crystalline intermediates that precede the formation of amides. We applied our methodology for the quantitative synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient moclobemide.

Abstract
Covalent hybrids of graphene and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold immense potential in various technologies, particularly catalysis and energy applications, due to the advantageous combination of conductivity and porosity. The formation of an amide bond between carboxylate-functionalized graphene acid (GA) and amine-functionalized UiO-66-NH2 MOF (Zr6O4(OH)4(NH2-bdc)6, with NH2-bdc2- = 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate and UiO = Universitetet i Oslo) is a highly efficient strategy for creating such covalent hybrids. Previous experimental studies have demonstrated exceptional properties of these conductive networks, including significant surface area and functionalized hierarchical pores, showing promise as a chemiresistive CO2 sensor and electrode materials for asymmetric supercapacitors. However, the molecular-level origin of the covalent linkages between pristine MOF and GA layers remains unclear. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of amide bond formation between GA and UiO-66-NH2. The theoretical calculations emphasize the crucial role of zirconium within UiO-66, which acts as a catalyst in the reaction cycle. Both commonly observed hexa-coordinated and less common hepta-coordinated zirconium complexes are considered as intermediates. By gaining detailed insights into the binding interactions between graphene derivatives and MOFs, strategies for tailored syntheses of such nanocomposite materials can be developed.

Abstract
Glycosides having multiple free OH groups have been shown to undergo site-selective O-arylations in the presence of arylboronic acids and copper(II) acetate. Herein, a mechanistic analysis of these Chan-Evans-Lam-type couplings is presented based on reaction kinetics, mass spectrometric analysis of reaction mixtures, and substituent effect studies. The results establish that the formation of a substrate-derived boronic ester accelerates the rate-determining transmetalation step. Intramolecular transfer of the aryl group from the boronic ester is ruled out in favor of a pathway in which the key pre-transmetalation assembly is generated from a boronic ester, a copper complex, and a second equivalent of arylboronic acid.

Abstract
Nitrile derivatives are important building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the serendipitous discovery of an oxygen transfer reaction that produces hydroxyalkyl nitriles from the sequential dehydration and hydrolysis of haloalkyl amides. Product yields of up to 91% were achieved, and the phenylboronic acid was recovered as triphenylboroxine. The triphenylboroxine was reused as a catalyst without any loss of catalytic activity. A probable catalytic pathway was proposed based on control experiments and DFT calculations.

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
An unprecedented DMAP-catalysed amidation of aryl and alkyl carboxylic acids with organo-cyanamides has been developed. Unlike the use of N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) as an electrophilic cyanating reagent, an unusual desulfonylation/decyanation reaction model has been disclosed for the first time. Remarkable features of this reaction include readily available substrates, simple operation and broad scope, enabling the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse amides. The synthetic utility of this protocol was demonstrated by the late-stage amidation of bioactive carboxylic acids and a scale-up reaction.

Abstract
Organometallic catalysis is a powerful strategy in chemical synthesis, especially with the cheap and low toxic metals based on green chemistry principle. Thus, the selection of the metal is particularly important to plan relevant and applicable processes. The group VB metals have been the subject of exciting and significant advances in both organic and inorganic synthesis. In this Review, we have summarized some reports from recent decades, which are about the development of group VB metals utilized in various types of reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, alkylation, dealkylation, polymerization, aromatization, protein synthesis, and practical water splitting.

Abstract
Organoboron compounds are well known for their use as synthetic building blocks in several significant reactions, e.g., palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. As an element, boron is fascinating; as part of a molecule it structurally resembles a three-valent atom, but if there is a lone pair of electrons nearby, the boron atom’s empty p-orbital may capture the lone pair and form a covalent bond. This is the main aspect that is challenging chemistry during the synthesis of boron containing molecules and may lead into unexpected reactions and products. To study this, we synthesized and studied novel aromatic azaborines for better understanding of their structures and reactions. Here, we report a one-pot method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic azaborines and computational studies of their structure to explain their observed chemical properties.

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
The global warming crisis has sparked a series of environmentally cautious trends in chemistry, allowing us to rethink the way we conduct our synthesis, and to incorporate more earth-abundant materials in our catalyst design. "Single-atom catalysis" has recently appeared on the catalytic spectrum, and has truly merged the benefits that homogeneous and heterogeneous analogues have to offer. Further still, the possibility to activate these catalysts by means of a suitable electric potential could pave the way for a true integration of diverse synthetic methodologies and renewable electricity. Despite their esteemed benefits, single-atom electrocatalysts are still limited to the energy sector (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction, etc.) and numerous examples in the literature still invoke the use of precious metals (Pd, Pt, Ir, etc.). Additionally, batch electroreactors are employed, which limit the intensification of such processes. It is of paramount importance that the field continues to grow in a more sustainable direction, seeking new ventures into the space of organic electrosynthesis and flow electroreactor technologies. In this piece, we discuss some of the progress being made with earth abundant homogeneous and heterogeneous electrocatalysts and flow electrochemistry, within the context of organic electrosynthesis, and highlight the prospects of alternatively utilizing single-atom catalysts for such applications.

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
Phosphine-mediated deoxygenative nucleophilic substitutions, such as the Mitsunobu reaction, are of great importance in organic synthesis. However, the conventional protocols require stoichiometric oxidants to trigger the formation of the oxyphosphonium intermediates for the subsequent nucleophilic additions. Through dual catalysis of photoredox and cobaloxime, we realized a radical strategy for the catalytic formation of acyloxyphosphonium ions that enables direct amidation. The deoxygenative protocol exhibits a broad scope and has been used in the late-stage amidation of drug molecules. In addition to batch reactions, a continuous-flow reactor was developed, enabling rapid peptide synthesis on gram scale. The successful assembly of a tetrapeptide on the solid support further demonstrated the versatility of this photocatalytic system. Moreover, experimental and computational studies are consistent with the hypothesis of acyloxyphosphonium ions being formed as the key intermediates.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction is among the most useful reactions in organic synthesis. Despite the existence of many prominent reports, however, the late-stage, chemoselective, catalytic, asymmetric aldol reaction of multifunctional substrates is still difficult to achieve. Herein, we identified that in situ pre-conversion of carboxylic acids to siloxy esters facilitated the boron-catalyzed direct aldol reaction, leading to the development of carboxylic acid-selective, catalytic, asymmetric aldol reaction applicable to multifunctional substrates. Combining experimental and computational studies rationalized the reaction mechanism and led to the proposal of Si/B enediolates as the active species. The silyl ester formation facilitated both enolization and catalyst turnover by acidifying the α-proton of substrates and attenuating poisonous Lewis bases to the boron catalyst.

Abstract
To realize the precise manipulation of the optoelectrical properties of boron-nitrogen (B-N) unit-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), unraveling the structure-property relationship behind them is of vital importance. In this work, we take two representative NBN-doped PAHs with similar structures (NBN-5 and NBN-6) as examples and explore the influence of molecular packing on their photophysical properties in different environments (including dilute solution, amorphous aggregate and crystal) using a theoretical protocol that combines molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and thermal vibration correlation function coupled quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. We found that the different symmetries of the transition orbitals in NBN-5 and NBN-6 lead to their distinct distributions of transition orbitals, with NBN-5 delocalizing on the whole backbone and NBN-6 bearing clear intramolecular charge transfer. Therefore, the S1 state of NBN-6 demonstrates redshifted emission spectra in contrast to those of NBN-5. We confirmed that NBN-6 in dilute solution is more flexible than NBN-6 in aggregated states. After aggregation, the fluorescent quantum efficiency (FQE) of NBN-6 increases significantly with the nonradiative decay constants decreasing by 2-4 orders of magnitude, because the dense molecular packing in the aggregated state could effectively suppress the out-of-plane rotation and distortion of the phenyl-ring at the boron position, indicating its AIE feature. While the photophysical properties of conjugated NBN-5 with high rigidity are independent of the environment, showing bright emission in both solution and solid states, consistent with the experimental results. Our theoretical protocol is general and applicable to other doped PAHs, thus laying a solid foundation for the rational design of advanced materials.

Abstract
The large amount of waste derived from coupling reagents is a serious drawback of peptide synthesis from a green chemistry viewpoint. To overcome this issue, we report an electrochemical peptide synthesis in a biphasic system. Anodic oxidation of triphenylphosphine (Ph3P) generates a phosphine radical cation, which serves as the coupling reagent to activate carboxylic acids, and produces triphenylphosphine oxide (Ph3P

O) as a stoichiometric byproduct. In combination with a soluble tag-assisted liquid-phase peptide synthesis, the selective recovery of desired peptides and Ph3PO was achieved. Given that methods to reduce Ph3PO to Ph3P have been reported, Ph3PO could be a recyclable byproduct unlike byproducts from typical coupling reagents. Moreover, a commercial peptide active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), leuprorelin, was successfully synthesized without the use of traditional coupling reagents. The large amount of waste derived from coupling reagents is a serious drawback of peptide synthesis from a green chemistry viewpoint.![]()

Abstract
Allenone has been identified as a highly effective peptide coupling reagent for the first time. The peptide bond was formed with an α-carbonyl vinyl ester as the key intermediate, the formation and subsequent aminolysis of which proceed spontaneously in a racemization-/epimerization-free manner. The allenone coupling reagent not only is effective for the synthesis of simple amides and dipeptides but is also amenable to peptide fragment condensation and solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The robustness of the allenone-mediated peptide bond formation was showcased incisively by the synthesis of carfilzomib, which involved a rare racemization-/epimerization-free N to C peptide elongation strategy. Furthermore, the successful synthesis of the model difficult peptide ACP (65-74) on a solid support suggested that this method was compatible with SPPS. This method combines the advantages of conventional active esters and coupling reagents, while overcoming the disadvantages of both strategies. Thus, this allenone-mediated peptide bond formation strategy represents a disruptive innovation in peptide synthesis.

Abstract
The development of methods for amide bond formation without recourse to typical condensation reagents has become an emerging research area and has been actively explored in the past quarter century. Inspired by the structure of vitamin B12, we have developed a metal-templated macrolactamisation that generates a new wave towards classical macrolactam synthesis. Further, distinct from the extensively used methods with condensation reagents or catalysts based on catalyst/reagent control our metal-catalysed methods based on substrate control can effectively address long-standing challenges such as racemisation in the field of peptide chemistry. In addition, the substrate-controlled strategy demonstrates the feasibility of "remote" peptide bond-forming reaction catalysed by a metal-ligand complex. Moreover, an originally designed hydrosilane/aminosilane system can avoid not only racemisation but also unnecessary waste production. This feature article documents our discovery and application of our original approaches in amide bond formation.

Abstract
Coronatine and related bacterial phytotoxins are mimics of the hormone jasmonyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile), which mediates physiologically important plant signalling pathways1-4. Coronatine-like phytotoxins disrupt these essential pathways and have potential in the development of safer, more selective herbicides. Although the biosynthesis of coronatine has been investigated previously, the nature of the enzyme that catalyses the crucial coupling of coronafacic acid to amino acids remains unknown1,2. Here we characterize a family of enzymes, coronafacic acid ligases (CfaLs), and resolve their structures. We found that CfaL can also produce JA-Ile, despite low similarity with the Jar1 enzyme that is responsible for ligation of JA and L-Ile in plants5. This suggests that Jar1 and CfaL evolved independently to catalyse similar reactions-Jar1 producing a compound essential for plant development4,5, and the bacterial ligases producing analogues toxic to plants. We further demonstrate how CfaL enzymes can be used to synthesize a diverse array of amides, obviating the need for protecting groups. Highly selective kinetic resolutions of racemic donor or acceptor substrates were achieved, affording homochiral products. We also used structure-guided mutagenesis to engineer improved CfaL variants. Together, these results show that CfaLs can deliver a wide range of amides for agrochemical, pharmaceutical and other applications.

Abstract
A one-pot peptide bond-forming reaction has been developed using unprotected amino acids and peptides. Two different silylating reagents, HSi[OCH(CF3)2]3 and MTBSTFA, are instrumental for the successful implementation of this approach, being used for the activation and transient masking of unprotected amino acids and peptides at C-termini and N-termini, respectively. Furthermore, CsF and imidazole are used as catalysts, activating HSi[OCH(CF3)2]3 and also accelerating chemoselective silylation. This method is versatile as it tolerates side chains that bear a range of functional groups, while providing up to >99% yields of corresponding peptides without any racemization or polymerization.

Abstract
Amide linkage of glycine-amino acid was synthesized by coupling of substituted 2-(aminomethyl)malononitrile as a C-terminal glycine unit and N-terminal amine using CsOAc and O2 in an aqueous solution. This is a coupling reagent-free and catalyst-free peptide synthesis via oxidative amide bond formation. Various tripeptides and tetrapeptides were synthesized efficiently and the sulfide moiety is inert even under an oxygen atmosphere.

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
Experimental and theoretical investigations have revealed that the chemical and physical properties of graphene are crucially determined by their topological structures. Therefore, the atomically precise synthesis of graphene nanostructures is essential. A particular example is graphene nanostructures with zigzag-edged structures, which exhibit unique (opto)electronic and magnetic properties owing to their spin-polarized edge state. Recent progress in the development of synthetic methods and strategies as well as characterization methods has given access to this class of unprecedented graphene nanostructures, which used to be purely molecular objectives in theoretical chemistry. Thus, clear insight into the structure-property relationships has become possible as well as new applications in organic carbon-based electronic and spintronic devices. In this Minireview, we discuss the recent progress in the controlled synthesis of zigzag-edged graphene nanostructures with different topologies through a bottom-up synthetic strategy.
