A number of cyclic derivatives of 3-amino-2,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid are known in the literature but they are often prepared from other cyclic precursors. This study showed that the title compound too may serve as a convenient substrate for cyclization reactions. Using orthogonally-protected linear derivatives, regioselective cyclizations were performed, leading to original and highly-functionalized γ-lactones, oxazolidinones, oxazolines and aziridines. In these reactions a key role was played by the C3 nitrogen group function, while the C2 alcohol function showed no propensity for participation in cyclization reactions.

Visible-Light Induced and Iron Peroxo-Promoted Radical Difunctionalization of Alkene for the Synthesis of β-Ketosulfone and α-Chloroketone.

In this work, a switchable synthesis of β-ketosulfone and α-chloroketone through a radical difunctionalization of alkenes is reported. The transformation works well under iron peroxo species/photoredox dual catalysis and an open-flask atmosphere, and the reaction is highlighted with good yields and a broad reaction scope. Mechanism studies show that the reaction is initiated by a formal [4 + 2] cyclization of the sulfonyl radical in a regioselective manner.

Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) characterized by the presence of thioether cross-links called lanthionine and methyllanthionine, formed by dehydration of Ser/Thr residues and Michael-type addition of Cys side chains onto the resulting dehydroamino acids. Class II lanthipeptide synthetases are bifunctional enzymes responsible for both steps, thus generating macrocyclic natural products. ProcM is part of a group of class II lanthipeptide synthetases that are known for their remarkable substrate tolerance, having large numbers of natural substrates with highly diverse peptide sequences.

This work explores the use of a cross-shaped organic framework that is used as a template for the investigation of multi-functionalized chromophores. We report the design and synthesis of a universal cross-shaped building block bearing two bromines and two iodines on its peripheral positions. The template can be synthesized on a gram scale in a five-step reaction comprising an oxidative homo-coupling macro-cyclization.

We here report an efficient DNA-compatible furan-thiol-amine reaction for macrocyclization and late-stage amine transformation. This reaction, conducted under mild conditions, enables the facile cyclization of DNA-conjugated linear peptides into thiopyrrole-grafted macrocycles regardless of ring size or side-chain modification with good to excellent conversion yields. Additionally, this strategy was employed for the late-stage transformation of terminal amines, serving as critical intermediates in the construction of DNA-encoded peptide libraries.

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric chlorocyclization of 1,6-enynes has been described. Controlling the chloride ion concentration in the system by substrate design is the key to achieving asymmetric chlorinated cyclization. In the presence of Pd(PhCN)Cl and chiral phosphoramidite ligands, the reaction accesses diverse chiral ()-α-chloromethylene-γ-butyrolactams with excellent selectivity and enantioselectivity.
