Under mild conditions (Lewis acid/solvent/room temperature), the reaction of unprotected glucose, deoxyribose or xylose with hydroxylalkylthymine gives selectively nucleoside analogs with a spacer arm between sugar and base moiety. Experimental conditions (Lewis acid, solvent) for this new strategy leading to nucleoside analogs synthesis are discussed.

The rapidly growing glycoscience has boosted the research on the synthesis of glycans and their conjugates, which are centered on the stereoselective formation of glycosidic bonds. Compared to the mainstream acid-promoted glycosylation method that undergoes the S1 type mechanism, the basic/neutral conditions give better stereo control via the S2 mechanism. Anomeric hydroxyl group transformation, whether to form glycosidic bonds directly or to install a leaving group for later glycosylation, is key to carbohydrate synthesis, and the strategies in the stereo control of these reactions under basic/neutral conditions are summarized in this review.

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.

Toxic organic solvents and electrolytes, traditionally indispensable for electro-organic synthesis, are now being reconsidered. In developing more sustainable electro-organic synthesis, we've harnessed the aqueous micelles as solvents and electrolyte-like structures when deformed under an electric field. The technology is showcased in synthetically highly valued hydrodefluorination reactions of difluorinated indoles.

Synthetic C-glycosides play a crucial role in molecular biology and medicine. With the surge of interest in C-glycosides and the demand to provide efforts with sufficient feedstock, it is highly significant to pursue novel methodologies to access C-glycosides in a concise and efficient manner. Here, we disclose an attractive strategy that diverges itself from conventional multistep reaction sequences involving the manipulations of protecting groups.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the development of a new type of rigid, three-dimensional polymers known as stepladder polymers, utilizing spirodihydroquinoline structures.
- These polymers are created through a reaction facilitated by a scandium catalyst that activates specific chemical bonds, allowing for the formation of complex structures from quinoline and alkyne compounds.
- The resulting polymers have increased thermal stability and porosity after undergoing a treatment that adds a methyl group to their nitrogen-containing functional groups.
