The nitration of tetraiodoethylene (7) yields 1,1-diiodo-2,2-dinitroethylene (8). The latter reacts with alkylamines 9 or alkyldiamines 11 to give the corresponding acyclic 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylenes 10 or their cyclic analogs 12, respectively. On the basis of liquid and solid-state (13)C and (15)N NMR data, x-ray analysis and ab initio calculations, we suggest that the title compounds are always zwitterionic and that the C(A)-C(N) bond is not a true double bond.

The one-pot transamination reactions on a zwitterionic benzoquinonemonoimine yield either a quinoxaline derivative or bis-zwitterionic macrocycles, depending on the number of carbon atoms bridging primary polyamines. These latter products, featuring two confined donor cavities, are the result of a [2 + 2] condensation without the need for template effect or high dilution conditions.

Isothiourea-catalyzed multicomponent cascade reactions are challenging due to the existence of competitive side reactions between multiple reaction partners and intermediates. Herein, we report a practical and efficient protocol for the stereoselective divergent synthesis of pyrazolone-derived β-amino acid esters and β-lactams by isothiourea catalysis. Two distinct reaction pathways are identified, which are controlled by esterification or lactamization of the zwitterionic intermediate.

Fouling-resistant coating materials have important applications in marine industry and biomedicine. Zwitterionic carboxybetaine polymers have demonstrated robust antibiofouling functionalities in experiments. In this work, we performed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study the molecular mechanism of hydration and antibiofouling of poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide) (polyCBAA) brush surfaces.

Catalytic asymmetric transformation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) has been proven to be a highly valuable and robust strategy to construct diverse types of enantioenriched molecules. However, the use of 1,1,2,2-tetrasubstituted DACs to form products bearing quaternary stereocenters remains a long-term unsolved challenge. Here, we report the copper-catalyzed asymmetric aminative ring opening of tetrasubstituted alkynyl DACs that delivers a myriad of α-tertiary amines with high levels of enantioselectivities.
