Article Abstract

A facile and efficient route for the synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted imidazoles from benzimidamides and vinyl azides through [3 + 2] cyclization under catalyst-free conditions has been described. The method is compatible for a broad range of functional groups with good to excellent yields.

Small-molecule metabolic chemical probes are tailored chemical biology tools that are designed to detect and visualize biological processes within a cell or an organism. Nucleoside analogues are a subset of metabolic probes that enable the study of DNA synthesis, proliferation kinetics, and cell cycle progression. However, most available nucleoside analogue probes have been designed for use in mammalian cells, limiting their use in other species, where there are metabolic pathway differences.

Solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) are widely used in clinical diagnostics devices and are expanding into other fields including environmental and wearable sensors. Despite significant materials research efforts, the most widely used polymer for membrane preparation remains plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Owing to its nonreactive nature, it is normally applied onto the electrode substrate by evaporative solvent casting.

Terminal alkyne-containing natural products can undergo the bio-orthogonal 'click' reaction of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Recently, an enzymatic mechanism for terminal alkyne formation was discovered in the biosynthesis of L-β-ethynylserine where the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme BesB forms a rare terminal alkyne-containing amino acid, L-propargylglycine, from a vinyl halide precursor, 4-chloro-L-allylglycine. Here we present the 1.

Dihydroisoquinolinediones are ubiquitous nitrogen-containing fused heterocyclic units in natural products, drug molecules, and functional materials. However, straightforward synthesis of dihydroisoquinolinediones from simple and readily available precursors remains challenging and underdeveloped. Herein, we developed an unprecedented photocatalytic [4 + 2] skeleton-editing strategy enabled direct synthesis of dihydroisoquinoline-1,4-diones from vinyl azides and carboxylic NHPI esters.

Chiral hydrogen-bonding catalysis has been successfully applied in a wide range of asymmetric photocatalytic radical-based reactions. However, it faces intrinsic challenges in the reactions that rely on oxidative quenching to initiate transformations. A critical issue arises from the formation of anionic side intermediates, which preferentially interact with protons from chiral catalysts, undermining the essential enantiocontrol required for effective product formation.
