Herein, we report a convenient and broadly applicable strategy for the difluoromethylation of aryl bromides by metallaphotoredox catalysis. Bromodifluoromethane, simple commercially available alkyl halide, is harnessed as an effective source difluoromethyl radical silyl-radical-mediated halogen abstraction. The merger this fluoroalkyl electrophile activation pathway with dual nickel/photoredox catalytic platform enables diverse array heteroaryl under mild conditions. utility procedure...

The asymmetric borylation of N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines with bis(pinacolato)diboron is achieved using a Cu(II) catalyst and provides access to synthetically useful pharmaceutically relevant α-amino boronic acid derivatives. Cu(II)-catalyzed reaction performed on the benchtop in air at room temperature commercially available, inexpensive reagents low loadings. A variety imines, including ketimines, react readily provide α-sulfinamido boronate esters good yields high stereoselectivity. In...

New biocompatible methods for post-translational protein modification are challenging to develop but crucial create improved chemical probes and optimize next-generation biologic therapies such as antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). Herein, we describe the bottom-up construction of an aqueous nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling chemospecific arylation cysteine residues on peptides proteins its use preparation ADCs. A variety arene linkages exemplified, enabling incorporation small molecules,...

Multisubstituted tropanes and indolizidines have been prepared with high regio- stereoselectivity by the [3+2] cycloaddition of unstabilized azomethine ylides generated from readily trimethylsilyl-substituted 1,2-dihydropyridines via protonation or alkylation followed desilylation. Starting bearing a ring trimethylsilyl substituent at 6-position, an intermolecular alkylation/desilylation provides endocyclic that successfully undergo range symmetrical unsymmetrical alkyne alkene...

A cascade benzyne Fries rearrangement is reported that offers facile access to 2,3-disubstituted phenols, allowing for two points of diversity on the adduct. The methodology utilizes an <i>o</i>-(trimethylsilyl)triflate phenol as a common intermediate, from which substitution phenolic oxygen readily yields precursors undergo requisite in presence amine nucleophile, base, and fluoride source.
