An efficient, robust, and scalable synthesis of an azido precursor to the modified amino acid (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine was developed on the basis of the use of a highly stereoselective organocatalytic α-chlorination-reduction protocol. The final Fmoc-protected (2S,5R)-6-azido-5-hydroxylysine derivative can be used in solid-phase peptide synthesis, providing access to proteins that contain large quantities of post-translationally modified lysine (e.g., collagens).

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).

A first -type tricyclic 8-8-8 (three fused-8-membered ring) laddersiloxane functionalized with four azido groups was successfully synthesized through efficient and highly selective hydrosilylation and nucleophilic substitution, achieving an excellent overall yield. The starting material, a tetravinyl-substituted 8-8-8 laddersiloxane, was prepared via a straightforward and scalable method. The obtained azido-functionalized ladder compound, fully characterized, constitutes a versatile building block for hybrid materials.

Herein a novel and robust methodology to spiroimidazolidinones has been developed under a mild reaction. The reaction of (Z)-2-azido-3-phenylacrylic acids , aldehydes , amines , isocyanides , and isocyanides produced regioselectively spiroimidazolidinones in 71-88% yields via a sequential Ugi 4CR/Pd(0) catalyzed azide-isocyanide coupling/cyclization/rearrangement/hydroxylation reaction. Furthermore, the easily accessible starting materials, high bond-forming efficiency, and broad substituent tolerance make this strategy useful in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is the key second messenger regulating bacterial biofilm formation related genes. Several c-di-GMP analogues have demonstrated biofilm inhibition activity. In this study, ribose-phosphate macrocyclic skeleton containing 1'-azido groups was constructed, and CDN analogues were prepared via click chemistry.

The use of proteins as intracellular probes and therapeutic tools is often limited by poor intracellular delivery. One approach to enabling intracellular protein delivery is to transform proteins into spherical nucleic acid (proSNA) nanoconstructs, with surfaces chemically modified with a dense shell of radially oriented DNA that can engage with cell-surface receptors that facilitate endocytosis. However, proteins often have a limited number of available reactive surface residues for DNA conjugation such that the extent of DNA loading and cellular uptake is restricted.
