Arenes substituted with perfluoroalkyl groups are attractive targets for drug and agrochemical development. Exploiting the carbenic character of donor/acceptor diazo compounds, a diversity-oriented synthesis of perfluoroalkylated arenes, for late stage fluorofunctionalization, is described. The reaction of 1-(diazo-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)arenes with HF, F/Br, F2, CF3H, and CF3SH sources give direct access to a variety of perfluoroalkyl-substituted arenes presenting with incremental fluorine content. The value of this approach is also demonstrated for radiochemistry and positron emission tomography with the [(18)F]-labeling of CF3CHF-, CF3CBrF-, and CF3CF2-arenes from [(18)F]fluoride.

Owning to the versatile nature in participation of Diels-Alder (D-A) reactions, the development of efficient approaches to generate active ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs) has gained much attention. However, a catalytic method involving coupling of two readily accessible components to construct o-QDMs is lacking. Herein, we describe a palladium carbene migratory insertion enabled dearomative C(sp)-H activation to form active o-QDM species through the cross-coupling of N-tosylhydrazones with aryl halides.

We present a Diversity Oriented Clicking approach to synthesize a library of novel clickable -substituted 2-aminothiazoles which serve as versatile hubs for SuFEx click chemistry diversification. Leveraging the spring-loaded reactivity of the 2-Substituted-Alkynyl-1-Sulfonyl Fluoride (SASF) connectors, the transformation is simple to perform, tolerant of a wide range of functionality, and regioselective for a single product. Finally, we propose a detailed stepwise reaction mechanism that is supported by experimental and computational analysis.

Chemical proteomics enables the global analysis of small molecule-protein interactions in native biological systems and has emerged as a versatile approach for ligand discovery. The range of small molecules explored by chemical proteomics has, however, remained limited. Here, we describe a diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS)-inspired library of stereochemically defined compounds bearing diazirine and alkyne units for UV light-induced covalent modification and click chemistry enrichment of interacting proteins, respectively.
