Modification of the ethano bridge of the core structure of the antitumor agent, SARASAR (SCH66336) with concomitant introduction of a sulfonamide moiety off the distal piperidine afforded inhibitor 9-(S-), a compound with greatly improved PK profile. Other compounds with enhanced FPTase inhibitory activity were obtained as exemplified by amide 10-(S-) and urea 11-(S-): these compounds demonstrated activity in picomolar range.

Visible-Light-Fueled Polymerizations for 3D Printing.

ConspectusLight-driven polymerizations and their application in 3D printing have revolutionized manufacturing across diverse sectors, from healthcare to fine arts. Despite the popularized notion that with 3D printing "imagination is the only limit", we and others in the scientific community have identified fundamental hurdles that restrict our capabilities in this space. Herein, we describe the group's efforts in developing photochemical systems that respond to nontraditional colors of light to elicit the rapid, spatiotemporally controlled formation of plastics.

A mechanistic investigation into the novel combination of the -halogen effect with enantioselective aminocatalysis unravels the mechanistic intricacies of [6 + 4] and [10 + 6] higher-order cycloadditions and the succeeding new Favorskii-like rearrangements. By introducing the OTf-group into the tropone framework, it can serve both as an activator for the cycloaddition and as a proficient leaving group within the corresponding cycloadduct, thus enabling unprecedented ring-contracting Favorskii-like rearrangements. Integrating the -OTf group creates an electron-deficient 6π-component leveraging the -halogen effect by enhancing the polarization and introducing new strategic interaction points.

ConspectusThe encapsulation of ions into macro(bi)cyclic hosts lies at the core of supramolecular chemistry. While chemically inert hosts such as crown ethers (synthesis) and cyclodextrins (Febreze) have enabled real-world applications, there is a wider and accelerating trend toward functional molecules and materials that are stimuli-responsive, degradable, or recyclable. To endow supramolecular hosts with these properties, a deviation from ether C-O bonds is required, and functional groups that engage in equilibrium reactions under relatively mild conditions are needed.

Catalytic borylations of sp C-H bonds occur with high selectivities for primary C-H bonds or secondary C-H bonds that are activated by nearby electron-withdrawing substituents. Catalytic borylation at tertiary C-H bonds has not been observed. Here we describe a broadly applicable method for the synthesis of boron-substituted bicyclo[1.

We have investigated novel bicyclic diene molecular solar thermal energy storage systems that presently are the ones with the highest predicted energy density. Using a variety of different ab initio quantum chemical methods, we report storage energies, absorption spectra, and reaction barriers for the release of stored energy for a series of bicyclic dienes. The bicyclic dienes are all constructed by modifying the bridgehead of the well-known norbornadiene/quadricyclane (NBD/QC) system.
