Scaffold-based drug design has become increasingly prominent in the pharmaceutical field due to the systematic and effective approach through which it facilitates the development of novel drugs. The identification of key scaffolds provides medicinal chemists with a fundamental framework for subsequent research. With mounting evidence suggesting that increased aromaticity could impede the chances of developmental success for oral drug candidates, there is an imperative need for a more thorough exploration of alternative ring systems to mitigate attrition risks.

Article Synopsis
- Thioesters are effective bifunctional reagents that can provide acyl and sulfide groups, but their use in valuable synthesis is currently limited.
- A new nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction has been developed to efficiently combine aziridines with thioesters under mild, redox-neutral conditions.
- This method allows for the easy synthesis of various β-sulfanyl amide derivatives, showcasing great substrate variety and tolerance for different functional groups.
Solution Blow Spinning Ultrafine Fiber Sponge-Loaded MOF-808 for Effective Adsorption and Degradation of Mustard Gas.

Research Institute of Textile and Clothing Industries, Zhongyuan University of Technology, Zhengzhou 450007, China.
Functional materials that can quickly absorb and degrade mustard gas are essential for chemical warfare emergency response kits. In this study, a fiber membrane with excellent adsorption and catalytic degradation activity was developed by solution blow spinning polystyrene (PS)/polyurethane (PU) and hydrothermal in situ growth of a zirconium-based MOF (MOF-808). The mechanical properties of the PS/PU fibers were improved by adding a trimethylolpropane tris (2-methyl-1-aziridine propionate) (TTMA) cross-linking agent.

Electrophilic halogenation of alkenes is a powerful transformation offering a convenient route for the construction of valuable functionalized molecules. However, as a highly important reaction in this field, catalytic asymmetric intermolecular iodinative difunctionalization remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report that an efficient Lewis basic chiral sulfide-catalyzed approach enables this reaction.

Department of Organic and Applied Chemistry, University of Łódź, 91-403 Łódź, Poland.
A short synthetic route to stereoselective access to -glycosyl-aminoethyl sulfide derivatives has been developed through the reaction of tributhyltin derivatives of glycals with aziridinecarboaldehyde and the regioselective ring opening of a chiral aziridine with thiophenol. The absolute configurations of the resulting diastereoisomers were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
