Chemical 1,1'-glycosylation for the synthesis of non-reducing disaccharides is complicated by the need to simultaneously control the stereochemistry at two anomeric centers. While considerable progress has been made in the synthesis of α,α-disaccharides, the assembly of 1,1'-β,β- and 1,1'-β,α-linked non-reducing sugars has received comparatively less attention. Many naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharides and their biologically active mimetics feature asymmetrically located functional groups at different positions on the two pyranose rings, highlighting the demand for reliable stereoselective methods to synthesize fully orthogonally protected 1,1'-conjugated sugars suitable for targeted functionalisation to create important biomolecules.

Precise Synthesis of Complex Si-Si Molecular Frameworks.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N. Charles St., Baltimore, Maryland 21218, United States.

In this Perspective, we highlight the emergence of target-oriented syntheses of complex molecules composed of Si-Si (oligosilanes) rather than C-C bonds. Saturated oligosilanes structurally resemble alkanes with respect to a tetrahedral geometry, a preference for a staggered conformation in linear chains, the ability to form stable small rings, and tetrahedral stereochemistry at asymmetrically functionalized Si centers. There are also critical differences, for example, differences in multiple bonding and the ability to form penta- and hexacoordinated structures, that mean that chemical reactivity and, in particular, rules for stereoselective synthesis do not cleanly translate from carbon to silicon.

Bioactive Sulfonamides Derived from Amino Acids: Their Synthesis and Pharmacological Activities.

Mini Rev Med Chem

January 2025

Department of Physiology and Pharmacology Vittorio Erspamer, Sapienza University of Rome, 00161, Rome, Italy.

Currently, the synthesis of bioactive sulfonamides using amino acid as a starting reagent has become an area of research interest in organic chemistry. Over the years, an amine-sulfonyl chloride reaction has been adopted as a common step in traditional sulfonamide synthetic methods. However, recent developments have shown amino acids to be better precursors than amines in the synthesis of sulfonamides.

Article Synopsis
  • The Serotonin 5-HT receptor (5-HTR) is a new focus for treating central nervous system disorders, but no selective agents have been approved yet despite promising preclinical results.
  • Researchers have developed highly potent and selective hydantoin-derived 5-HTR antagonists with proven antidepressant effects and good drug profiles, although initial tests used racemates.
  • This study achieved the synthesis of pure hydantoin-derived 5-HTR agents, confirmed their structure with X-ray analysis, and revealed important interactions affecting receptor affinity, suggesting that other factors beyond 5-HTR action influence their antidepressant and anxiolytic effects.

Cystobactamids have a unique oligoarylamide structure and exhibit broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, the central α-amino acid of the cystobactamid scaffold was modified to address the relevance of stereochemistry, hydrogen bonding and polarity by 33 derivatives. As demonstrated by three matched molecular pairs, l-amino acids were preferred over d-amino acids.
