The Ti(II) -mediated formation of cyclopropylamines from alkenes and amides, the Kulinkovich-de Meijere reaction, involves two carbon-carbon bond-forming steps. Strategic use of a tricyclic intermediate can arrest the process if the second step requires formation of a bridgehead double bond. Use of this Bredt's rule constraint results in the production of carbocyclic amino ketones, key alkaloid building blocks.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Carbocycle-Selective Hydrogenation of Fused Heteroarenes.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the link between microbiome-derived metabolites and the risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) during early to mid-pregnancy in a diverse population, highlighting how these metabolites might play a role in diabetes risk.
- The study included a total of 91 GDM and 180 non-GDM participants in its discovery phase and validated the findings with additional groups, using advanced metabolomic techniques to analyze serum samples.
- Findings suggested that certain metabolites, particularly carbocyclic acids and branched-chain amino acids, were significantly associated with GDM risk, and a predictive model combining these metabolites with conventional risk factors proved to be more effective in identifying GDM risk than traditional methods alone.
Conformational Analysis and Organocatalytic Activity of Helical Stapled Peptides Containing α-Carbocyclic α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acids.

Conformational freedom-restricted peptides, such as stapled peptides, play a crucial role in the advancement of functional peptide development. We synthesized stapled octapeptides using α-carbocyclic α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids, particularly 3-allyloxy-1-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, as the crosslink motifs. The organocatalytic capabilities of the synthesized stapled peptides were assessed in an asymmetric nucleophilic epoxidation reaction because the catalytic activities are known to be proportional to α-helicity.

Chiral manganese(I) complexes that contain carbocyclic-fused 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolinyl groups that are appended with distinct -R substituents have proven to be effective catalysts in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of ketones (48 examples). Notably, proved to be the most productive catalyst, allowing an outstanding turnover number of 8300 with catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mol %.
