Protected 2'-deoxy-2'-fluorouridine and 2'-deoxy-2'-fluorocytidine suitable for incorporation into oligonucleotides via the phosphoramidite approach have been prepared. Five modified and two unmodified oligonucleotides have been synthesized to investigate the regiospecific cleavage of a 5S RNA from Escherichia coli by RNase H. In order to show whether the modified oligonucleotides are able to hybridize with the RNA the physico-chemical properties (melting curves, CD spectra) of analogous DNA/oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes have been examined. The modified oligonucleotides are shown to form stable duplexes with a DNA-matrix which exist in an A-like form. Two of the modified probes containing four 2'-deoxy-2'-fluorocytidines or two 2'-deoxy-2'-fluorouridines direct the splitting by RNase H of only one phosphodiester bond of the RNA.

Chiral Aldehyde/Palladium Catalysis Enables Asymmetric Branched-Selective Ring-Opening Functionalization of Methylenecyclopropanes with Amino Acid Esters.

Achieving catalytic asymmetric functionalization of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) by selective C-C bond cleavage is a notable challenge due to the intricate reaction partners involved. In this work, we report that chiral aldehyde/palladium combined catalysis enables the asymmetric functionalization of MCPs with NH-unprotected amino acid esters. This reaction proceeds through a regiospecific branched ring-opening mechanism, resulting in optically active α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid esters bearing nonconjugated terminal alkene units.

The activation of C-C bond of benzocyclobutenones under mild reaction conditions remains a challenge. We herein report a photoinduced catalyst-free regio-specific C1-C8 bond cleavage of benzocyclobutenones, enabling the generation of versatile ortho-quinoid ketene methides for aza-[4 + 2]-cycloaddition with imines, which offers a facile route to isoquinolinone derivatives, including seven family members of protoberberine alkaloids, gusanlung A, B, D, 8-oxotetrahydroplamatine, tetrahydrothalifendine, tetrahydropalmatine, and xylopinine. Furthermore, the catalytic enantioselective version of this strategy is also realized by merging synergistic photocatalysis and chiral Lewis acid catalysis.

Enzymatic cleavage of C─F bonds in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is largely unknown but avidly sought to promote systems biology for PFAS bioremediation. Here, we report the reductive defluorination of α, β-unsaturated per- and polyfluorocarboxylic acids by spp. The microbial defluorination products were structurally confirmed and showed regiospecificity and stereospecificity, consistent with their formation by enzymatic reactions.

The Gfo/Idh/MocA family enzyme DgpA was known to catalyze the regiospecific oxidation of puerarin to 3"-oxo-puerarin in the presence of 3-oxo-glucose. Here, we discovered that D3dgpA, cloned from the human gut bacterium sp. MRG-IFC3, catalyzed the regiospecific oxidation of various -/-glycosides, including puerarin, in the presence of methyl β-D-3-oxo-glucopyranoside.

Article Synopsis
- Cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions are highlighted as efficient methods for creating C-C bonds, with a recent focus on the selective reaction between naphthalene and fluorobenzene at the β-position.
- The unique selectivity is driven by the reductive elimination process, influenced by the steric effects of the naphthyl group and the electron-withdrawing nature of fluorobenzene.
- The findings indicate that regioselectivity in C-H functionalization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) relies on the reductive elimination rather than the initial C-H cleavage, with variations in selectivity depending on the specific PAH structure.
