Article Abstract
Manipulation of biomacromolecules is ideally achieved through unique and bioorthogonal chemical reactions of genetically encoded, naturally occurring functional groups. The toolkit of methods for site-specific conjugation is limited by selectivity concerns and a dearth of naturally occurring functional groups with orthogonal reactivity. We report that pyroglutamate amide N-H bonds exhibit bioorthogonal copper-catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling at pyroglutamate-histidine dipeptide sequences. The pyroglutamate residue is readily incorporated into proteins of interest by natural enzymatic pathways, allowing specific bioconjugation at a minimalist dipeptide tag.

A variety of 2-amino-2,3-disubstituted dihydrobenzofurans were prepared in good yields and high diastereoselectivity through copper-catalyzed -alkenylation and sequential [3,3]-rearrangement of aryloxyamines with alkenyl boronic acids under mild reaction conditions. Control experiments revealed that the monophosphine ligand played important roles in the C-N coupling reaction. More importantly, this -alkenylation and [3,3]-rearrangement could be easily applied into the modification of natural products and drugs.

Molecular hybridization often leads to derivatives with better pharmacokinetic properties and different biological effects than their parent compounds. Several -substituted benzoxazolone - estradiol chimeras sharing a common benzene ring were prepared by -alkylation or -arylation Chan-Lam cross-coupling of their pre-synthesized unsubstituted precursors. Both the 2,3- and 3,4-fused regioisomers were obtained in good yields and a comparison of the anticancer activity revealed useful structure-activity relationships.

The Chan-Lam coupling represents one of the most effective methods for constructing C-N bonds due to its mild reaction conditions and broad functional group compatibility. However, asymmetric versions of this transformation to forge C(sp)-N bonds have remained elusive due to the need for a general mechanistic framework to engage alkylboron reagents. Herein, we demonstrate the first enantioconvergent Chan-Lam C(sp)-N coupling using synthetically modular alkylboronic pinacol esters.

Herein, we report a Cu catalyst system for umpolung Chan-Lam amination, enabling the efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical diarylamines from arylboronic esters and aryl azides. This sustainable approach facilitates C-N bond formation even at 35 °C without any additional ligands using an easily accessible catalyst and substrates. Mechanistic and computational studies revealed the intermediacy of the Cu(II) species.
