Summary: This article reports the first total synthesis of a tetracyclic marine pyridinium alkaloid, which was achieved using recent advances in chemoselectivity management. The synthesis involved the formation of critical C-C bond using nickel/iridium photoredox dual catalysis, successful ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) despite the presence of a Lewis acidic alkylidyne catalyst, and a unique iridium catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction. The synthesis also demonstrated site- and chemoselective intramolecular N-alkylation for closing the second strained macrocycle.

Summary: A series of helically shaped benzo[b]chryseno[4,3-d]thiophenes, naphtho[1,2-b]phenanthro[4,3-d]thiophenes, and chryseno[3,4-b]naphtho[1,2-d]thiophenes are synthesized via an enantioselective Au-catalyzed intramolecular alkyne hydroarylation reaction. The inversion barriers and chiroptical properties of the obtained structures are determined. Preliminary studies on the post-synthetic functionalization and transformation into azahelicenes are also presented. Furthermore, a one-step protocol is developed to convert the initially obtained chryseno[3,4-b]naphtho[1,2-d]thiophenes into pleiadene derivatives without erosion of the enantiopurity, enabling the establishment of correlations between structure and conformational stability or (chir)optical properties.

Summary: This article reports an efficient synthesis of alkynyl thioamides using copper as a catalyst and tetraalkyl thiuram compounds (TMTM and TIBTM) and alkynes as starting materials. The reaction between tetraalkyl thiurams and alkynes proceeded smoothly, giving various alkynyl thioamides promoted by a CuI/Cs2CO3 system. This protocol demonstrates easy operation, inexpensive starting materials, and good yields, highlighting its potential synthetic value for the synthesis of thioamides and their derivatives.

Summary: Palladium complexes exhibit remarkable catalytic activity in alkyne chemistry, allowing for the assembly of structurally diverse organic functional molecules from readily available feedstocks. The N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium catalytic system is considered one of the most efficient and precise synthetic methodologies due to its strong sigma-donating and weaker pi-accepting abilities.

Summary: This article describes a comprehensive and enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-gelsenicine. Two different strategies based on catalytic cycloisomerization as the central step are proposed. One strategy involves chirality transfer from enantioenriched substrates, while the other employs asymmetric catalysis. The chirality transfer strategy is less effective, whereas the latter strategy utilizes phosphoramidite- and bisphosphine-gold complexes to provide a high enantiopurity key intermediate in the Gelsemium alkaloid syntheses.

Summary: Heteroleptic and homoleptic iron(III) complexes supported by a tris(N-heterocyclic carbene) borate ligand have been prepared and characterized. The strong electron-donating character of the tris (carbene) donor was revealed through various measurements and calculations. The catalytic activity of each complex in cyclohexane oxidation was evaluated and both complexes showed high catalytic activity and selectivity, with the homoleptic complex exhibiting more metal-based reactions.

Summary: In this study, an alternative method for the asymmetric hydroaminocarbonylation of olefins using dual copper hydride and palladium catalysis was described. This method enables the synthesis of enantioenriched amides using readily available carbamoyl chlorides as the carbamoylating reagent, and is applicable to various types of olefins with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

Summary: Cations such as Lewis acids enhance the catalytic activity of high-valent Fe-oxygen intermediates. In this study, a pyridine diamine ethylene glycol macrocycle was used to form Zn(II)- or Fe(III)-complex with the NNN site, enabling redox-inactive cations to bind to the ethylene glycol moiety. The addition of alkali, alkali earth, and lanthanum ions increased the Fe(III/II) redox potential. Ba2+ ion showed the tightest binding. Density functional theory calculations revealed the effects of redox inactive cations on the electronic structures of Fe complexes. The presence of dications, Ba2+ and Mg2+, resulted in the highest overall activity and OAT/HAT product ratios in the C-H oxidation reaction.

Summary: A novel bis-BODIPY-based sensor, BODIPY-NN, has been reported for selective and sensitive recognition of F- and CN- ions. The sensor undergoes a marked color change and fluorescence quenching exclusively in the presence of F- and CN- ions. The mechanism of anion binding to BODIPY-NN has been elucidated through NMR, mass spectra, and theoretical calculations. The sensor can be regenerated by adding water in the F- system, while CN- ions irreversibly disrupt the sensor.

Summary: New chemosensors, L1-L3, based on the coumarin Schiff base scaffold with substituent modifications, have been designed and synthesized. These chemosensors demonstrated the ability to discriminate Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ ions through absorbance and fluorescence spectral changes. Furthermore, the slight modification of substituents on L2 and L3 enabled them to selectively bind to specific ions, suggesting their potential applications in water quality detection.

Summary: New hybrid catalysts based on molecularly dispersed nickel complexes on N-doped graphene were developed for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR). The nickel complexes with N-H groups showed current enhancement in the presence of CO2, while the absence of N-H groups resulted in no change. All three nickel complexes were successfully immobilized on nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) and exhibited satisfactory CO2-to-CO reduction. The N-H moiety from the ligand was found to be less important in the heterogeneous aqueous system.

Summary: An efficient trifluoromethylation of 2-isocyanobiaryls was developed using constant current electrolysis with sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate (CF3SO2Na) as the trifluoromethyl source. This method allows for the synthesis of a series of 6-(trifluoromethyl)phenanthridine derivatives in moderate to high yields under metal- and oxidant-free conditions. A gram-scale synthesis demonstrates the synthetic versatility of this protocol.
