C–N cross-coupling is one of the most valuable and widespread transformations in organic synthesis. Largely dominated by Pd- Cu-based catalytic systems, it has proven to be a staple transformation for those both academia industry. The current study presents development mechanistic understanding an electrochemically driven, Ni-catalyzed method achieving this reaction high strategic importance. Through series electrochemical, computational, kinetic, empirical experiments, key features have...

Phosphorothioate nucleotides have emerged as powerful pharmacological substitutes of their native phosphodiester analogs with important translational applications in antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutics and cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) synthesis. Stereocontrolled installation this chiral motif has long been hampered by the systemic use phosphorus(III) [P(III)]-based reagent systems sole practical means assembly. A fundamentally different approach is described herein: invention a...

A thermodynamic approach to peptide macrocyclization inspired by the cyclization of non-ribosomal aldehydes is presented. The method provides access structurally diverse macrocycles exploiting reactivity transient macrocyclic imines toward inter- and intramolecular nucleophiles. Reactions are performed in aqueous media, absence side chain protecting groups, tolerant all proteinogenic functional groups. Macrocyclic products bearing non-native rigidifying structural motifs, isotopic labels, a...

This Communication reports the first general method for rapid, chemoselective, and modular functionalization of serine residues in native polypeptides, which uses a reagent platform based on P(V) oxidation state. redox-economical approach can be used to append nearly any kind cargo onto serine, generating stable, benign, hydrophilic phosphorothioate linkage. The tolerates all other known nucleophilic functional groups naturally occurring proteinogenic amino acids. A variety applications...

A two-step degradation–reconstruction approach to the carbon-14 radiolabeling of alkyl carboxylic acids is presented. Simple activation via redox-active ester formation was followed by nickel-mediated decarboxylative carboxylation afford a range complex compounds with ample isotopic incorporations for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies. The practicality operational simplicity protocol were demonstrated its use in an industrial setting.

Tetrachloro-N-hydroxyphthalimide tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (CITU) is disclosed as a convenient and economical reagent for both acylation decarboxylative cross-coupling chemistries. Within the former set of reactions, CITU displays reactivity similar to that common coupling reagents, but with increased safety reduced cost. latter, yields, more rapid conversion, simplified procedure are possible across range reported transformations.
