We describe a rapid and quantitative method to generate DNA cages of deliberately designed geometry from readily available starting strands. Balancing the incorporation of sequence uniqueness and symmetry in a face-centered approach to 3D construction can result in triangular (TP), rectangular (RP), and pentagonal prisms (PP) without compromising the potential for nanostructure addressability.

Nickel-Catalyzed Three-Component Carboamination/Cyclization of Alkynes To Access 2,3-Disubstituted Quinolines.

Presented herein is a nickel-catalyzed chemo- and regioselective three-component tandem carboamination and cyclization of terminal alkynes with organoboronic acids and anthranils for facile and modular access to 2,3-substituted quinolines. In this process, anthranil has dual roles: serving as an electrophilic aminating reagent and a redox buffer to suppress the generation of an off-cycle Ni(0) complex. Moreover, the anionic acetylacetonate (acac) ligand was found to be vital to ensure a productive Ni(I)-Ni(III)-Ni(I) catalytic cycle.

Direct cross-coupling reactions between two similar unactivated partners are challenging but constitute a powerful strategy for the creation of new carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. [4]Dendralenes are a class of acyclic branched conjugated oligoenes with great synthetic potential for the rapid generation of structural complexity, yet the chemistry of [4]dendralenes remains an unexplored field due to their limited accessibility. Herein, we report a highly selective palladium-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of two allenes with the presence of a directing olefin in one of the allenes, enabling the facile synthesis of a broad range of functionalized [4]dendralenes in a convergent modular manner.

Antibodies have gained clinical success in the last two decades for the targeted delivery of highly toxic small molecule chemotherapeutics. Yet antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) often fail in the clinic due to the development of resistance. The delivery of two mechanistically distinct small molecule drugs on one antibody is of increasing interest to overcome these challenges with single-drug ADCs.

Bioinspired hydroxypyridinone (HOPO)functionalized materials are shown to display a remarkable capacity for stability and for chelating a wide array of metal ions. This allows for the synthesis of multifunctional networks with diverse physical properties when compared to traditional catechol systems. In the present study, we report a facile, one-pot synthesis of an amino HOPO ligand and simple, scalable incorporation into PEG-acrylate based networks via active ester chemistry.
