Herein, we describe the enantioselective construction of the 12-membered macrocyclic pyrrole core of marineosin A in 5.1% overall yield from ()-propylene oxide. The route features a key Stetter reaction to install a 1,4-diketone, which is then subjected to Paal-Knorr pyrrole synthesis and ring closing metathesis (RCM) to afford macrocycle A divergence point in the synthetic scheme also enabled access to a highly functionalized spiroaminal model system via an acid-mediated hydroxyketoamide cyclization strategy.

Pheophytin-a derivatives possessing plastoquinone and phylloquinone analogs in the peripheral 3-substituent were prepared by Friedel-Crafts reactions of a 3-hydroxymethyl-chlorin as one of the chlorophyll-a derivatives with benzo- and naphthohydroquinones, respectively, and successive oxidation of the 1,4-dihydroxy-aryl groups in the resulting dehydration products. The 3-quinonylmethyl-chlorins exhibited ultraviolet-visible absorption and circular dichroism spectra in acetonitrile, which were composed of those of the starting 3-hydroxymethyl-chlorin and the corresponding methylated benzo- and naphthoquinones. No intramolecular interaction between the chlorin and quinone π-systems was observed in the solution owing to the methylene spacer.

The use of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostics in oncology allows for the detection of the disease at an early stage. Among diagnostic radionuclides, Tc is a promising isotope that has been used to create several drugs for clinical use. One of the most effective Tc chelators is 6-hydrazinylnicotinic acid (HYNIC), which, when combined with various vector molecules, can be used for targeted delivery of radionuclides to tumor tissues.

In this study, anion-responsive π-conjugated macrocycles were synthesized to demonstrate anion-binding and ion-pairing properties along with the ordered structures. Ion-pairing charge-by-charge assembly of a [1+2]-type complex of a macrocycle as a pseudo π-electronic anion and a countercation was revealed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Further, two-dimensional (2D) arrays of the macrocycles bearing alkoxy chains, exhibiting anion-driven disordered structures, were constructed on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate as observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).

We here report an efficient DNA-compatible furan-thiol-amine reaction for macrocyclization and late-stage amine transformation. This reaction, conducted under mild conditions, enables the facile cyclization of DNA-conjugated linear peptides into thiopyrrole-grafted macrocycles regardless of ring size or side-chain modification with good to excellent conversion yields. Additionally, this strategy was employed for the late-stage transformation of terminal amines, serving as critical intermediates in the construction of DNA-encoded peptide libraries.

Thallium-201 is an Auger electron-emitting radionuclide with significant potential for targeted molecular radiotherapy of cancer. It stands out among other Auger electron emitters by releasing approximately 37 Auger and Coster-Kronig electrons per decay, which is one of the highest numbers in its category. It has also a convenient half-life of 73 h, a stable daughter product, established production methods, and demonstrated high radiotoxicity.
