A copper-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of azide-ynamides via selenium ylides is disclosed, which leads to the practical and divergent synthesis of a variety of tricyclic heterocycles bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in generally moderate to excellent yields. Significantly, this method represents the first [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the selenium ylide based on alkynes and an unprecedented [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement via α-imino copper carbenes.

Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) emerges as a promising target for the treatment of therapy-resistant cancer through ferroptosis. Thus, there is a broad interest in the development of GPX4 inhibitors. However, a majority of reported GPX4 inhibitors utilize chloroacetamide as a reactive electrophilic warhead, and the selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties still need to be improved.

Chemical cross-linking of proteins coupled with mass spectrometry analysis (CXMS) is a powerful method for the study of protein structure and protein-protein interactions (PPIs). However, the chemical probes used in the CXMS are limited to bidentate reactive warheads, and the available zero-length cross-linkers are restricted to 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride/-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMTMM). To alleviate this issue, an efficient coupling reagent, sulfonyl ynamide, was developed as a new zero-length cross-linker that can connect high-abundance carboxyl residues (D/E) with lysine (K) to form amide bonds in the absence of any catalyst.

Herein we describe a self-acid-enabled chemo-, regio-, and stereospecific -hydrophenoxylation of ynamides under reagent-free conditions. The presence of a non-polar solvent such as toluene was found to be beneficial to facilitate the rate-limiting proton transfer between phenols and ynamides to form an intimate ion pair, which is followed by a swift nucleophilic attack of the phenolate oxygen on keteniminium, fulfilling the overall hydrofunctionalization event. This protocol is operationally simple and easily scalable, tolerates a wide variety of functional groups, and shows good compatibility with the requirements of modern green chemistry.

The chemistry of the carbonyl group is essential to modern organic synthesis. The preparation of substituted, enantioenriched 1,3- or 1,5-dicarbonyls is well developed, as their disconnection naturally follows from the intrinsic polarity of the carbonyl group. By contrast, a general enantioselective access to quaternary stereocenters in acyclic 1,4-dicarbonyl systems remains an unresolved problem, despite the tremendous importance of 2,3-substituted 1,4-dicarbonyl motifs in natural products and drug scaffolds.
