Article Abstract

An efficient procedure for the preparation of β-substituted furans/pyrroles is presented. The methodology is based on the use of 7-oxa/azanorbornadienes as dipolarophiles in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with benzyl azide. The triazoline cycloadduct thus formed spontaneously decomposes via a retro-Diels-Alder (rDA) reaction to afford a β-substituted furan/pyrrole derivative and a stable triazole. The scope of this tandem 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/rDA reaction was studied with thirteen 7-heteronorbornadienes. This study allowed a deep knowledge of the regioselectivity of the reaction, which can be tuned through the substituents of the heteronorbornadienic systems.

Sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) compounds are gaining increasing attention due to their various applications. We present the Diels-Alder reaction of ethenesulfonyl fluoride and analogues to rapidly access cyclic and bicyclic SuFEx derivatives in moderate to good yields. These derivatives have been shown to be useful intermediates in a variety of synthetic transformations to expand the toolkit for the preparation of cyclic aliphatic sulfonyl fluorides.

Presented herein is a protocol for the iron-catalyzed [4 + 1] cycloadditions of -Boc-imines with β-ketosulfoxonum ylides through a succession of nucleophilic additions and intramolecular annulation, giving access to functionalized oxazolidine-2-ones in generally good yields. In contrast to the renown Corey-Chaykovsky reaction via N attack to furnish aziridines, this method afforded oxazolidine-2-ones via an O-nucleophilic attack. Features of this strategy include readily accessible starting materials, sustainable catalyst, post-functionalizations of complex molecules, scalability, and exceptional control over diastereoselectivity.

The CO cycloaddition route is an effective way to achieve efficient conversion and utilization of CO. Zeolites with diverse topologies and tunable acidic sites can efficiently promote the cycloaddition reaction of CO with epoxides. The exchangeable cations in zeolites have a great influence on the performance of the CO cycloaddition, but there are few studies on it.

The advancement of bioorthogonal cleavage platforms has emerged as a critical frontier in chemical biology, offering precise molecular liberation through physiologically compatible activation mechanisms. Despite its significant potential, ensuring efficacy typically requires rapid reaction kinetics, high-efficiency payload release, and stable reactants; however, relevant reports remain sparse. Herein, we developed a strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC)-based click-release chemistry through installation of a carbamate-linked release moiety at the propargyl position of cyclooctyne, triggering a spontaneous elimination following click cycloaddition to achieve efficient payload liberation.
