The often facile C-/O-tautomerization of transition metal enolates is severely hindered in the cyclic Ni complexes 1 and 2, allowing the study of their individual reactivities. At room temperature only the O-bound tautomer, 2, reacts with aldehydes, giving rise to the corresponding addition products.

The utilization of the homogeneous ()-2-pyrrolidine-tetrazole organocatalyst (Ley catalyst) in the self-condensation of ethyl pyruvate and cross-aldol reactions of ethyl pyruvate donor with non-enolizable pyruvate acceptors, namely the sterically hindered ethyl 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate or the highly electrophilic methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate, is described as the key enantioselective step toward the synthesis of the corresponding biologically relevant isotetronic acids featuring a quaternary carbon functionalized with ester and alkyl groups. The transition from homogeneous to heterogeneous flow conditions is also investigated, detailing the fabrication and operation of packed-bed reactors filled with a silica-supported version of the pyrrolidine-tetrazole catalyst (SBA-15 as the matrix).

Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic agents. This study investigated the synthesis and biological evaluation of -alkyl ()-chalcone derivatives (-) as potential anticancer agents. The compounds were synthesized via aldol condensation of substituted aldehydes and acetophenones, with structures confirmed by IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry.

An efficient phospha-aldol/Meyer-Schuster rearrangement cascade reaction between propargylic aldehydes and phosphine oxides has been developed in which various phosphoryl enones were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. A comprehensive series of mechanistic experiments, including the identification of key intermediates and the application of O isotope labeling, has confirmed that this cascade reaction proceeds through a phospha-aldol followed by Meyer-Schuster rearrangement cascade reaction.

Aldolases, especially 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) enzymes, have been widely employed to access key chiral precursors for various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This has been enabled by expanding their substrate scope toward non-natural acceptors and donors via protein engineering. In this study, we endeavored to broaden the acceptor substrate scope of DERA from sp.

In recent years, mechanosynthesis of peptides through either chemical or enzymatic routes has been accomplished. In part, this advancement has been driven due to the organocatalytic properties of peptide-based biomaterials. In this work, we report the merging of chemical and enzymatic protocols under mechanochemical conditions to synthesize peptide materials based on L-proline and L-phenylalanine.
