Summary: The synthesis of alpha-aryl-alpha-diazoamides was achieved through a two-step process involving Pd-catalyzed C-H arylation and aminolysis, enabling the esterification of carboxyl groups in aqueous solution to become substrates for an esterase. This broad synthetic route paves the way for further development of diazo compounds in chemical biology.

Summary: This work describes a convenient route for the synthesis of para-dithienopyrazines from readily available starting materials. A cascade of nucleophilic aromatic substitution and subsequent bidirectional hydrothiolation of alkynes was used as a key step. In total, seven new target compounds were synthesized and investigated regarding their photophysical properties. In solution, these molecules act as blue emitters, which turn to green upon addition of an acid, demonstrating their potential use as proton sensors.

Summary: 3-tert-Butyl- or phenyl-substituted-1-(trimethylsilylmethyl)cyclobutyl trifluoroacetates react in methanol via beta-trimethylsilyl carbocationic intermediates formed from loss of trifluoroacetate ion. These cationic intermediates react to give a significant amount of methyl ether substitution products along with the expected alkene elimination products. Different methyl ether substitution products are formed from isomeric trifluoroacetates, and complete retention of configuration of the ether group relative to the starting trifluoroacetates is observed. The proposed origin of this retention is the involvement of two different beta-trimethylsilyl carbocation intermediates that form while utilizing backside participation of the trimethylsilyl group. Computational studies have located three classical 1-(trimethylsilylmethyl)cyclobutyl carbocation energy minima. Two of these cations have a significant barrier (13-16 kcal/mol) to interconversion. It is proposed that methanol can capture each of these cations from different sides, leading to isomeric methyl ether products. A third energy minimum, formed by cyclobutane ring inversion, is thought to be unimportant in determining the stereochemistry of the methyl ether substitution products.

Summary: The study successfully synthesized chiral hierarchical porous monoliths in a flexible and highly efficient one-step method, without the need for complex doping or procedures. The monoliths exhibited hierarchical pore structure with throughpore and high surface area, and their porous structures and pore size could be adjusted by changing the conditions of phase separation. Additionally, the prepared monoliths showed good optical activity, thermal stability and mechanical properties, and were applied in enantioselective crystallization with promising performance.

Summary: It was found that 4-hydroxy-2-butenoic ester could not react with 3,4-dihydro-isoquinoline. Reactions of gamma-mercapto-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters and -unsaturated amide with 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines provided thiazolo[2,3-alpha]isoquinoline derivatives with good yields and significant diastereomeric selectivity, with the mechanism of the crucial reaction being discussed.

Summary: This study describes a photocatalytic self-(3+2) cycloaddition of vinyldiazo compounds for the synthesis of cyclopentene derivatives with conservation of one diazo functional group. Experimental and density functional theory investigations reveal that the reaction is initiated by an unusual single electron oxidation of the vinyldiazo compounds, without involvement of photolysis for the generation of free carbene species. The synthetic applications of the resulting cyclopentenyl a-diazo compounds are demonstrated based on the versatile chemistry of the diazo functional group.

Summary: The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopropanes from alpha-substituted allyl sulfones and silanes is reported. The reaction, catalyzed by a chiral rhodium complex (Rh-2((S)-BTPCP)(4)) using alpha-aryl diazoacetates or diacceptor diazo reagents, provides moderate to high yields (27-97 %), high diastereoselectivities (68 : 32 to 20 : 1 d.r.) and moderate to excellent ee (40-99 %). This methodology offers an efficient route to enantioenriched cyclopropanes with a high level of functionality, which can be further modified and incorporated into more complex structures.

Summary: The Grignard reagent and lithium chloride-enhanced derivative have been used for single iodine/magnesium exchange reactions to produce trisubstituted arenes, allowing for the preparation of poly-functional arenes and a new route for meta-substituted arenes using water as the electrophile. This reaction can be viewed as an InDirect meta-Metalation process and shows potential for further functionalization of the initial unreacted iodine functionality.

Summary: In the presence of TMSOTf and triethylamine, 3-(trimethylsilyl)propargyl carboxylates undergo a one-pot alkylation-cyclization-desilylation reaction with ketones to produce 2-methylfurans in good yields. The cyclization and desilylation steps appear to be promoted by triflic acid generated in situ from exposure of the reaction mixture to water.

Summary: A novel and cost-effective method was developed for the synthesis of free 3-aminoindoles which are typically difficult to access. This method involved the reaction between indoles and nitrostyrene in the presence of phosphorous acid, leading to the formation of 4'-phenyl-4'H-spiro[indole-3,5'-isoxazoles]. These isoxazoles could be efficiently transformed into the desired aminated indoles through a reaction with hydrazine hydrate under microwave-assisted heating.

Summary: Alcohol dehydrogenases are enzymes that use cofactors for oxidation or reduction reactions of alcohols or carbonyl compounds. They are utilized in green chemistry and have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals. Recombinant enzymes have solved the challenge of producing purified enzymes in large quantities. Engineered alcohol dehydrogenases have been used in asymmetric synthesis in industry. Various methods have been established for regenerating expensive cofactors to make the enzymatic process more efficient and economically viable.
