Summary: The combination of molecular iodine and TBHP plays a significant role in organic synthesis and catalysis by enhancing the selectivity and sustainability of organic transformations. It can be utilized as a catalytic duo or as a reagent system with an additive, leading to metal-free and environmentally friendly protocols. This indispensable tool enables the formation of complex organic architectures through various reactions such as C-H functionalization, cyclization, cycloaddition, rearrangement, sulfonylation/sulfenylation, and oxidation reactions.

Summary: A one-pot synthesis of disubstituted oxazoles was achieved from vinyl azide and benzylamine via efficient oxidative cascade cyclization. This metal-free strategy involves C(sp(3))-functionalization and the elimination of the azide group, leading to the formation of various disubstituted oxazole derivatives. The one-pot method offers readily available reagents, shorter reaction times, mild conditions, and good yields.

Summary: A convenient one-pot synthesis of quinoxaline-2,3-dione has been achieved by C-H hydroxylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-one using TBN as a promoter of the reaction in DMSO. First, radical-mediated nitration using TBN at C-3 of quinoxalin-2(1H)-one was carried out, followed by hydroxylation with water via ipso-substitution to obtain quinoxaline-2,3-dione.

Summary: A metal-free coupling reaction of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with tert-butyl nitrite has been developed, resulting in selective nitration at the C7 or C5 position of the phenyl ring and yielding a series of 7-nitro and 5-nitro quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of a radical process in the reaction.

Summary: This study presents a novel and eco-friendly technique for the synthesis of C-3 nitro derivatives of 4-quinolones. The regioselective C(sp(2))-H bond functionalization is achieved using tert-butyl nitrite as a nitrating agent and TEMPO as an oxidant. The method is scalable, high yielding, and has a wide substrate scope and broad functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the reaction proceeds through a free radical pathway. The nitro derivatives of 4-quinlones can be selectively reduced to corresponding aminated 4-quinolones. The photophysical properties of the synthesized amine derivatives are also studied, with some exhibiting good fluorescence properties.

Summary: A novel, selective and high-yielding palladium-catalyzed carbonylative arylation of weakly acidic benzylic and heterobenzylic C(sp(3))-H bonds with aryl bromides has been achieved. The system allows access to diverse alpha-aryl or alpha,alpha-diaryl ketones, which are commonly found in biologically active compounds. The use of Josiphos SL-J001-1-based palladium catalyst enables the carbonylative arylation without the formation of direct coupling byproducts.

Summary: We report the mechanochemically-induced deuteration of aromatic C(sp(2))-H bonds activated by Pd at ambient temperature without the need for solvents. Deuterium was sourced from cysteine-d(4) to obtain mono- or dideuterated products from different aromatic palladacycles. Besides the high deuteration yields, we provide a detailed view of the reaction course in the solid state through time-resolved in situ Raman monitoring and DFT calculations. The obtained knowledge could lead to the broader application of this methodology for the deuteration of organic compounds.

Summary: Phosphoroselenoates are widely used in organic synthesis and drug discovery. This study developed a new method for the synthesis of phosphoroselenoates through the oxidative coupling reaction of diselenides with phosphites using t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. The advantages of this method include mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, excellent yields, and the absence of transition metals and bases.

Summary: Novel approaches for C5-selective methoxylation and cyanomethoxylation of 8-aminoquinolines under the Fe-III/TBHP system were developed. Various substituted quinolines were tolerated to yield the corresponding ether products. A plausible mechanism involving the addition of alkoxyl radicals to an iron-chelated intermediate was proposed.

Summary: We present a mild OtBu deprotection catalytic protocol using two commercial reagents: magic blue (MB center dot+), also known as tris-4-bromophenylamminium radical cation, and triethylsilane. Magic blue catalytically facilitates the cleavage of the C-O bond in tert-butyl carbamates, carbonates, esters, and ethers, achieving a high isolated yield of up to 95%, while sacrificial triethylsilane accelerates the reaction. This method is suitable for an array of structurally diverse compounds without the need for high temperatures, transition metals, or strong acidic or basic catalysts.

Summary: The CXXC domain acts as a DNA methylation reader that specifically binds to unmethylated CpG DNA motifs. Chromosomal translocations of the MLL1 gene result in fusion proteins where the N-terminal portion of MLL1, containing the CXXC domain, is fused to the C-terminal portion of multiple partners. Disrupting the CXXC domain-DNA binding ability impairs the ability of the MLL-AF9 fusion protein to cause leukemia in mice. This study focuses on developing small-molecule inhibitors of the MLL1 CXXC domain as a therapeutic approach.
