We report the first 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of 1,2-cyclohexadiene, a rarely exploited strained allene. 1,2-Cyclohexadiene is generated in situ under mild conditions and trapped with nitrones to give isoxazolidine products in synthetically useful yields. The reactions occur regioselectively and exhibit a notable endo preference, thus resulting in the controlled formation of two new bonds and two stereogenic centers. DFT calculations of stepwise and concerted reaction pathways are used to rationalize the observed selectivities. Moreover, the strategic manipulation of nitrone cycloadducts demonstrates the utility of this methodology for the assembly of compounds bearing multiple heterocyclic units. These studies showcase the exploitation of a traditionally avoided reactive intermediate in chemical synthesis.

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).

The potentiator VX-770 (ivacaftor) has been approved as a monotherapy for over 95 cystic fibrosis (CF)-causing variants associated with gating/conductance defects of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. However, despite its therapeutic success, VX-770 only partially restores CFTR activity for many of these variants, indicating they may benefit from the combination of potentiators exhibiting distinct mechanisms of action (i.e.

A cascade reaction of Pd(II)/dppben-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of -aryl nitrones with allenoates and sequential reduction has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized benzazepines bearing three contiguous carbon stereocenters in moderate to good yields ranging from 15 to 82% and high diastereoselectivity. The obtained benzazepines could be converted into various benzazepine scaffolds, and an estrone-derived benzazepine scaffold was prepared over four steps from estrone. More importantly, chiral benzazepine bearing three contiguous carbon stereocenters could be obtained in 88% ee value with chiral auxiliary.

Electron-induced effects, which are prevalent in adsorption and heterogeneous catalytic reactions, can significantly influence the state and uptake of adsorbates. Here, we demonstrate the in situ doping of electron-deficient boron into the backbone of chitosan-based porous carbon materials. Despite a reduction in specific surface area, the resulting boron-doped porous carbons (NBPCs) exhibit an enhanced CO adsorption performance, with sample NBPC-10 achieving CO adsorption capacities of 7.

Benzothiazole and benzoxazole heterocyclic ring-containing 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles are well known for their wide range of applications in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, but their high-yielding metal-free selective synthesis has always remained challenging as no comprehensive simple protocol has been outlined to date. Owing to their structural and medicinal importance, herein, we synthesized various benzothiazole and benzoxazole heterocyclic ring-containing 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles in high to excellent yields with chemo-/regioselectivity from the library of benzothiazole/benzoxazole-ketones and aryl/alkyl-azides through an enolate-mediated organocatalytic azide-ketone [3 + 2]-cycloaddition under ambient conditions in a few hours. The commercial availability or quick synthesis of the starting materials and catalysts, a diverse substrate scope, chemo-/regioselectivity, quick synthesis of pharmaceutically active known compounds and their analogues, and numerous medicinal applications of functionalized benzothiazole/benzoxazole-triazoles are the key attractions of this metal-free organo-click reaction.
