Monohalo and dihalo 1,3-thiazole derivatives can be efficiently and selectively prepared under mild conditions from 2-amino-1,3-thiazoles. Halogenations proceed easily in the presence of copper(I) or copper(II) chlorides, bromides, or iodides directly in solution or with supported copper halides.

Asymmetric Heck Silylation of Unactivated Alkenes.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
January 2025
Zhejiang Uiversity, Chemistry, 866 Yuhangtang Road, 310058, Hangzhou, CHINA.
Heck silylation of unactivated alkenes is an efficient strategy for the synthesis of useful organosilicon compounds. However, extensive efforts have been dedicated to only achieving achiral molecules. Herein, a highly regio- and enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed Heck silylation of unactivated alkenes with hydrosilanes is reported for the first time, providing access to axially chiral alkenes in good to excellent yields with 87-98% ee.

Amide bond formation is fundamental in nature and is widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other valuable products. Current methods for amide synthesis are often step and atom inefficient, requiring the use of protecting groups, deleterious reagents and organic solvents that create significant waste. The development of cleaner and more efficient catalytic methods for amide synthesis remains an urgent unmet need.

Nitrilase is extensively applied across diverse sectors owing to its unique catalytic properties. Nevertheless, in industrial production, nitrilases often face issues such as low catalytic efficiency, limited substrate range, suboptimal selectivity, and side reaction products, which have garnered heightened attention. With the widespread recognition that the structure of enzymes has a direct impact on their catalytic properties, an increasing number of researchers are beginning to optimize the functional characteristics of nitrilases by modifying their structures, in order to meet specific industrial or biotechnology application needs.

Article Synopsis
- The hydrofluorination of enynoates allows for the efficient synthesis of fluorinated dienoates using a pyridinium tetrafluoroborate salt.
- This method effectively converts various aryl-substituted enynoates into the desired fluorinated products with significant control over their stereochemistry and regioselectivity.
- Mechanistic studies were performed to understand the reaction process better and to optimize the outcomes based on different reaction conditions.
Copper-Catalyzed Intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] Annulation of Diynes with Alkynes: Construction of Carbazoles.
Org Lett

Transition-metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of alkynes is an efficient pathway for the synthesis of aromatic compounds. However, most of the established methods require noble metal catalysts. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of diynes with alkynes through vinyl cation intermediates, enabling the atom-economical preparation of biologically important carbazole skeletons.
