The dipolar cycloadditions of ortho-nitrophenyl alkynes with aryl nitrile oxides has been demonstrated. A range of substituents are tolerated on the alkyne. These reactions proceed with excellent levels of regioselectivity. Subsequent functionalization of the isoxazole scaffold has been demonstrated.

Numerous emerging chemotherapeutic agents incorporate -heterocyclic fragments in their structures, with the quinoline skeleton being particularly significant. Our recent works have focused on glycoconjugates of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ), which demonstrated enhanced bioavailability and solubility compared to their parent compounds, although they fell short in selectivity. In this study, our objective was to improve the selectivity of glycoconjugates by replacing the oxygen atom with nitrogen by substituting the 8-HQ moiety with 8-aminoquinoline (8-AQ).

The potentiator VX-770 (ivacaftor) has been approved as a monotherapy for over 95 cystic fibrosis (CF)-causing variants associated with gating/conductance defects of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. However, despite its therapeutic success, VX-770 only partially restores CFTR activity for many of these variants, indicating they may benefit from the combination of potentiators exhibiting distinct mechanisms of action (i.e.

In this research, we investigated the essential role of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions in regulating tropospheric ozone levels, atmospheric chemistry, and climate dynamics. We explored linalool ozonolysis and secondary organic aerosol formation mechanisms, providing key insights into atmospheric processes. Computational techniques, such as density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, were employed for the analysis.

A 6-step gram-scale synthesis of the fungal polyketide (±)-gregatin A is described. The synthetic route features an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, a Mo-mediated disconnection of the isoxazole skeleton, and an acid-mediated deprotection/enamine hydrolysis and hemiketalization cascade.

Eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactone isoalantolactone 1 is of great interest due to its availability, biological activity and synthetic application. Respective series of original spirocyclic (11S,5') (1,2,3-triazoline-eudesma-4,15-enolides) and (11S)-aziridine-eudesma-4,15-enolides were efficiently synthesized via a chemoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of organic azides to the exocyclic double bond of the lactone ring of isoalantolactone or 13E-(aryl)isoalantolactones by heating in DMF or toluene. The thermal reactions of isoalantolactone with benzyl azide, 2-azidoethanol, or n-butyl azide in 2-methoxyethanol afforded 13-(alkyamino)isoalantolactones formed as a mixture of (Z) and (E)-isomers.
