A selective bis-silylation of 1D-O-TBDPS-myo-inositol leads to a 1,3,5-trisubstituted inositol, which can be advanced to the headgroup of phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P(2)]. A mild, regioselective method for construction of the diacylglycerol moiety containing differing fatty acid chains, including the naturally occurring lipids, was developed. Their union in the synthesis of the cell-signaling molecule PI(3,5)P(2) containing the sn-1-stearoyl and sn-2-arachidonoyl groups is described. The methodology was also used to generate dioctanoyl-PI(3,5)P(2) and a previously unreported biotin-PI(3,5)P(2) conjugate, which was coupled to neutravidin beads and used to pull down PI(3,5)P(2)-binding proteins from the cytosolic extract of adrenal neurosecretory cells. We report the specific pull-down of the PI(3,5)P(2)-binding protein svp1p, a known PI(3,5)P(2) effector involved in membrane trafficking.

Herein, we present a highly efficient allylic substitution of carbonates with Grignard reagents using a reusable cellulose-supported nanocopper catalyst. This approach highlights the first instance of heterogeneous catalysis for the cross-coupling of allylic alcohol substrates with Grignard reagents. The method features high yields, excellent regioselectivity, and complete chirality transfer.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

The direct construction of polycyclic arenes through ring formation using simple building blocks is highly appealing but remains challenging in organic chemistry. In this study, we introduce an efficient cascade reaction that combines dearomatizing photocyclization with oxidative aromatization, driven by organophotocatalysis. Conducted under mild, transition-metal-free conditions, this reaction seamlessly converts styrene derivatives into a diverse array of functionalized polycyclic aromatic compounds with good yields and regioselectivity.

ConspectusIn recent years, our research group has dedicated significant effort to the field of asymmetric organometallic electrochemical synthesis (AOES), which integrates electrochemistry with asymmetric transition metal catalysis. On one hand, we have rationalized that organometallic compounds can serve as molecular electrocatalysts (mediators) to reduce overpotentials and enhance both the reactivity and selectivity of reactions. On the other hand, the conditions for asymmetric transition metal catalysis can be substantially improved through electrochemistry, enabling precise modulation of the transition metal's oxidation state by controlling electrochemical potentials and regulating the electron transfer rate via current adjustments.

Natural product biosynthesis is nature's tinkering ground for developing new enzymes that can achieve chemical transformations that are outside the purview of traditional chemical catalysis. Herein we describe a genome mining approach that leads to the discovery of a halogenase that regioselectively brominates a tryptophan side chain indole for a macrocyclic peptide substrate, enabling downstream chemical arylation by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. The halogenase was found to prefer a macrocyclic peptide substrate over a linear peptide.
