Article Abstract

A mild, chemoselective and sustainable biocatalysed synthesis of sulfoxides has been developed exploiting CALB and using AcOEt with a dual role of more environmentally friendly reaction solvent and enzyme substrate. A series of sulfoxides, including the drug omeprazole, have been synthesised in high yields and with excellent E-factors.

Phosphole-based fluorophores are attractive dyes for bioimaging due to their relatively compact molecular structures, strong fluorescence up to the near-infrared region with large Stokes shifts, and remarkable resistance to photobleaching. Therefore, the development of efficient and chemoselective coupling methods for functionalizing phospholes is of significant interest for biomolecular labeling. Herein, we describe the synthesis of novel P-aminophospholes and their use for direct conjugation to cysteinyl peptides under mild conditions.

Despite considerable scientific advancements, there is an urgent need for sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient methods for chemically transforming CO into valuable chemicals. A stable heterogeneous platform is presented that incorporates four key innovations: 1) the first Tröger's base (TB) chemistry in solids via selective four-electron reductive functionalization of CO, 2) an effective heterogeneous organocatalyst for the chemoselective formylation of both NH and SH functionalities with CO, 3) a methodology for metal-free heterogeneous S-formylation of bioactive thiols, and 4) a direct covalent immobilization of CO-protected N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on graphene oxide nanosheets (GONs). The CO-protected catalyst is developed by covalently attaching imidazole (Im) to GONs and functionalizing them with dimethyl carbonate.

A Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL)-catalyzed one-pot tandem reduction of quinoline to tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) followed by reductive alkylation by the aldehyde has been demonstrated under mild reaction conditions with a shorter reaction time. This step-economical synthetic approach is suitable for late-stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules. The reaction is highly chemoselective and tolerates a wide range of reducible-sensitive functional groups.
