Article Abstract
A strategy is reported in which traceless directing groups (TDGs) are used to promote the redox-neutral Mn -catalyzed regioselective synthesis of N-heterocycles. Alkyne coupling partners bearing a traceless directing group, which serves as both the chelator and internal oxidant, were used to control the regioselectivity of the annulation reactions. This operationally simple approach is highly effective with previously challenging unsymmetrical alkyne systems, including unbiased dialkyl alkynes, with perfect regioselectivity. The simple conditions and the ability to carry out synthesis on a gram scale underscore the usefulness of this method. The application of this strategy in the concise synthesis of the bioactive compound PK11209 and the pharmaceutical moxaverine is also described.

Nickel electrocatalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy for sustainable C─H activation, offering an environmentally benign alternative to traditional methods based on stoichiometric oxidants. We, herein, report a nickela-electrocatalyzed approach for the expedient synthesis of β-arylated pyrroles via a unique multiple dehydrogenative C─H activation approach. Hence, direct C─C bond formation between pyrroles and arenes was enabled, obviating the need for prefunctionalized substrates.

The direct functionalization of unactivated C(sp)-H bonds is crucial for the synthesis of organic compounds, enabling the efficient generation of C(sp)-X bonds (X = carbon, heteroatom) in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Despite the natural inertness of these bonds and the challenges associated with regioselectivity in alkanes, various approaches, primarily coordination-assisted and radical methods, have been developed to address these issues and enable effective catalytic activation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of transition-metal-catalyzed direct functionalization of nonactivated C(sp)-H bonds.

A photoredox approach is described for converting dehydroalanine (Dha) residues in peptides to aspartic acid (Asp). Using ammonium formate as a CO radical source under mild conditions, Dha is functionalized in a traceless manner.The protocol is compatible with peptide substrates, including fully unprotected, the complex antimicrobial peptide nisin.

All cells require a continuous supply of the universal energy currency, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to drive countless cellular reactions. The universally conserved FF-ATP synthase regenerates ATP from ADP and P by harnessing a transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient (). Bacteria have evolved diverse -forming strategies using light, organic, and inorganic energy sources.

Herein, we report an efficient method for the synthesis of atropisomers with distal 1,3-C-N diaxes using the cobalt/Salox system via C-H and N-H annulation with benzamide and sterically hindered alkynes. This one-step, step-economical process operates at room temperature with oxygen from air as the sole oxidant, removing the need for metal oxidants, photocatalysts, or electricity. The reaction is compatible with a broad range of arylamides and alkynes, providing high yields and excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee).
