A highly efficient asymmetric ring-opening/cyclization/retro-Mannich reaction of cyclopropyl ketones with aryl 1,2-diamines has been realized using a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Sc(III) catalyst. Benzimidazoles containing chiral side chains were generated under mild reaction conditions in excellent outcomes (up to 99 % yield and 97 % ee). This method also provides efficient access to chiral benzimidazole-substituted amide and cycloheptene derivatives.

ConspectusThe Mannich reaction, involving the nucleophilic addition of an enol(ate) intermediate to an imine or iminium ion, is one of the most widely used synthetic methods for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the homo-Mannich reaction, which utilizes a homoenolate intermediate as the nucleophilic partner and provides straightforward access to the valuable γ-amino carbonyl compounds, remains underexplored. This can be largely attributed to the difficulties in generation and manipulation of the homoenolate species, despite various homoenolate equivalents that have been developed.

Despite these advantages, ciprofol's clinical research is still emerging. This study compares the median effective dose (ED) and adverse reactions of ciprofol and propofol, in conjunction with sufentanil, for suppressing cardiovascular responses during tracheal intubation.

The emergence of RNA viruses driven by global population growth and international trade highlights the urgent need for effective antiviral agents that can inhibit viral replication. Nucleoside analogs, which mimic natural nucleotides, have shown promise in targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps). Starting from protected 5-iodouridine, we report the synthesis of -substituted-(1,3-diyne)-uridines nucleosides and their phosphoramidate prodrugs.

A three-component reaction of alkenyl thianthrenium salts, cyclopropan-1-ols and DABCO·(SO) under catalyst- and additive-free conditions, is accomplished. This sulfonylation with the insertion of sulfur dioxide works efficiently under very mild conditions, leading to a wide range of 1-substituted vinyl sulfones in moderate to good yields. In this protocol, the scope generality of alkenyl thianthrenium salts and cyclopropyl alcohols is demonstrated.

Efficient methods for synthesizing allenes from readily available starting materials pose a persistent challenge in organic chemistry. In this work, we present a novel two-stage protocol for allene synthesis involving the single-atom insertion into alkenes, facilitated by synergistic photoredox and cobalt catalysis. Diverging from conventional methods such as the Doering-LaFlamme reaction, this photochemical rearrangement approach operates efficiently under mild conditions in a radical-based manner.
