Thousands of human diseases could be treated by selectively controlling the expression of specific proteins in vivo. A new series of alkenyl amino alcohol (AAA) ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) capable of delivering human mRNA with unprecedented levels of in vivo efficacy is demonstrated. This study highlights the importance of utilizing synthesis tools in tandem with biological inspiration to understand and improve nucleic acid delivery in vivo.

Amino alcohols are vital in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and as key building blocks for various applications. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on polar bond retrosynthetic analysis, requiring extensive protecting group manipulations that complicate direct access. Here we show a streamlined approach using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid in stereoselective electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformations, enabling efficient access to enantiopure amino alcohols.

A regioselective cobalt-catalyzed three-component silylamidation that rapidly and reliably incorporates dioxazolones and silylzinc pivalates into unconjugated alkenyl amides is disclosed. Notably, the unique power of this protocol is demonstrated by the possibility of achieving peptide ligation using peptide-containing dioxazolones or alkenyl amides as the coupling partners. Moreover, this approach is distinguished by its mild condition, synthetic simplicity, and ample scope, thus providing a new platform for modular access to silicon-containing amino acid derivatives and peptides.

A convenient electrochemical oxidative cascade cyclization of alkenes equipped with pendant alcohols with general nucleophiles was developed. Using readily available diarylmethanimine and carboxylic acids as nucleophilic sources, a broad range of internal alkene and terminal alkene substrates could produce RCO- and ArCN-functionalized -heterocycles in moderate to high yields without the requirement for external oxidants and metals. These resulting products can subsequently be hydrolyzed to yield valuable NH- and OH-functionalized tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyranes under mild conditions.

Recently, metallaphotoredox-catalyzed alkene dicarbofunctionalization reactions have been extensively investigated. Most cases are related to alkyl-arylation processes by conjugate coupling of alkyl radical precursors and aryl electrophiles across alkenes. By contrast, reported examples of alkylvinylation by coupling of vinyl electrophiles are largely limited.

This study leverages accelerated reactions at the solution/air interface of microdroplets generated by desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) to explore the chemical space. DESI is utilized to synthesize drug analogs at an overall rate of 1 reaction mixture per second, working on the low-nanogram scale. Transformations of multiple drug molecules at specific functionalities (phenol, hydroxyl, amino, carbonyl, phenyl, thiophenyl, and alkenyl) are achieved using electrophilic/nucleophilic, redox, C-H functionalization, and coupling reactions.
