Protein footprinting is a useful method for studying protein higher order structure and conformational changes induced by interactions with various ligands via addition of covalent modifications onto the protein. Compared to other methods that provide single amino acid-level structural resolution, such as cryo-EM, X-ray diffraction, and NMR, mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods can be advantageous as they require lower protein amounts and purity. As with other MS-based proteomic methods, such as post-translational modification analysis, enrichment techniques have proven necessary for both optimal sensitivity and sequence coverage when analyzing highly complex proteomes.

In the Au(PPh)Cl/AgOTf/TsOH/MeCN/N/25 °C system, diastereoselective synthesis of -3a,8a-dihydrofuro[2,3-]benzofuran derivatives with a substituent at the 8a-position has been achieved by using 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-arylprop-2-yn-1-ols and β-oxoketones (amides, acid) as starting materials. The studies revealed that the acidity of methylene in substrates plays a key role in the differential reactions. A stronger acidity of the methylene is favorable in the desired conversion.

Evaluating the halogen bonding strength of a iodoloisoxazolium(III) salt.

Diaryliodonium(III) salts have been established as powerful halogen-bond donors in recent years. Herein, a new structural motif for this compound class was developed: iodoloisoxazolium salts, bearing a cyclic five-membered iodolium core fused with an isoxazole ring. A derivative of this class was synthesized and investigated in the solid state by X-ray crystallography.

We present a methodology yielding 3,4-dihydro-2-1,4-oxazine by cyclization of -propargyl -sulfonyl amino alcohols using silver triflate as a catalyst at ambient temperature. Additionally, we showcase the applicability of this methodology in solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to introduce the oxazine heterocyclic ring into short peptides containing serine and threonine. Notably, Rink amide resin supported the on-resin formation of 3,4-dihydro-2-1,4-oxazine, while 2-CTC resin facilitated the oxazine formation in a one-pot process involving peptide cleavage, deprotection, and subsequent C-O ring formation, thus offering a versatile method for the late-stage modification of peptides.

In this paper, we developed a highly enantioselective alkylation of 4-substituted pyrazolones catalyzed by phase-transfer catalysis. Cheap halohydrocarbons were employed as electrophilic alkylationg agents, and propargyl, allyl, and benzyl products with all-carbon quaternary stereocenters were afforded with excellent enantioselectivities and good yields. We found that the unique structures of the catalyst (hydrogen bond donors of the C-9 hydroxyl group and amide group, the triphenyl at the -position) were important for good enantioselectivity.
