Summary: An unprecedented Co(iii)-catalyzed stereoselective C-H homoallylation reaction has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-homoallylic alcohols from indole derivatives and 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxan-2-ones. This protocol offers mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, good yields, excellent stereoselectivity, and broad tolerance towards functional groups. It provides a powerful approach for the late-stage C-H homoallylation of bioactive and pharmaceutically relevant indole-based substrates.

Summary: An expedient method for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from homoallylic carbonic acid esters using photo-aerobic selenium-pi-acid multicatalysis is reported. This method directly activates the C-C double bond of homoallylic carbonic acid esters using a pyrylium dye and a diselane, with ambient air as the sole oxidant and visible light as an energy source, without relying on stoichiometric addition of electrophiles or pre-installed leaving groups.

Summary: In this study, a selective E-type ring-closing metathesis reaction was discovered in α-helical stapled peptides. By using chiral carbocyclic α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids, a high E-selectivity was achieved, while standard acyclic amino acids resulted in lower selectivity. The stapled octapeptide exhibited a right-handed α-helical crystal structure.

Summary: Despite the increasing importance of C-glycosides in biochemistry, the strategies for achieving stereoselective C-glycosidic bond formation have received less attention compared to those for O- and N-glycosides. In this study, a beta-C-glycosylation of oxazol-5(4H)-ones, which serve as direct precursors of amino acids, was described. Regardless of the glycal donors and glycosyl acceptors used, the reaction displayed excellent efficiency and chemoselectivity in most cases without the need for exogenous bases. The outstanding stereocontrol at the anomeric center was attributed to the steric hindrance imposed by a bulky phosphine ligand.

Summary: The gamma-carbonyl cations generated from propargyl ether-Co-2(CO)(6) complexes undergo intramolecular Nicholas reactions to give dehydrobenzoxacin-3-one-Co-2(CO)(6) complexes in good yields. Subsequent reductive decomplexation and manipulation enables the synthesis of various heliannuol compounds.

Summary: Here, we report a strategically novel method for the efficient construction of indole skeletons using 2-phenylisoxazol-5-ones as starting material. This method involves Bronsted acid-promoted alpha-iminyl cation generation, N-O bond cleavage, and intramolecular cyclization to yield 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid, which further undergoes decarboxylation. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope and moderate to good yields, making it potentially useful in the pharmaceutical and flavor industries.

Summary: The cyclisation reactions between tert-butyl propargyl carbonates and 2-aminotosyl benzamides or sulphonamides catalysed by Pd(0) deliver key components of biologically active compounds, 1,4-benzodiazepin-5-ones or sultam derivatives. However, propargyl carbonates substituted at acetylenic carbon are required for the stereoselective formation of the products with 2-amino benzamides/sulphonamides.

Summary: The study presents an unambiguous and precise method for the synthesis of 3,1-benzoxathiin-4-ones/1,3-benzodioxin-4-ones using propargylic alcohols and salicylic/thiosalicylic acids under catalyst-free and open-air conditions. This strategy is shown to be quite general, yielding benzoxathiinones/benzodioxinones in good amounts with various 2-mercapto and 2-hydroxybenzoic acids.

Summary: An unprecedented one-step synthesis of 5-(methylthio)pyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives has been achieved through iodine triggered deaminative coupling of glycine esters, methyl ketones, and hydrazine hydrate in DMSO. The absence of hydrazine allowed the generation of various 3-methylthio-4-oxo-enoates in good yields. DMSO played multiple roles as an oxidant, methylthiolating reagent, and solvent.

Summary: The divergent domino condensation/biannulation reaction of beta-(2-aminophenyl) alpha,beta-ynones with 1,3-dicarbonyls to construct a polycyclic 4H-pyrano[3,4-c]quinoline core was developed, catalyzed by p-TsOH center dot H2O. The reaction proceeds in ethanol with good to excellent yields, providing a simple and effective method for the synthesis of functionalized 4H-pyrano[3,4-c]quinolinones. Further elaboration with an excess of 20% NH4OH in EtOH at 50 degrees C helps achieve the synthesis of the perlodinine analogues benzo[c][2,7]naphthyridin-4(3H)-one derivatives in high yields.

Summary: Selective C3-alkylation of benzothiophenes was achieved through a gold-catalyzed reaction, with the minor product being the C7-alkylated isomer. The reaction was successful with various alkyl and aryl alkynes and substituted or unsubstituted benzothiophenes, but the inhibitory effect of sulfoxide on the catalyst requires further investigation.

Summary: The research focuses on the metabolism of L-tryptophan by IDO1 and the design of tryptophan analogues to potentially intercept intermediates. The tryptophan analogues show binding to IDO1 and enzymatic inhibition, with compound 17 possibly binding at a newly-discovered site. These findings provide a starting point for further mechanistic probes and more potent IDO1 inhibitors.
