Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraarylated thieno[3,2-b]thiophenes were synthesized by direct site-selective Pd-catalyzed C-H activation reactions with various aryl bromides in the presence of a phosphine-free Pd(OAc) /KOAc catalyst system in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The arylation of 2-arylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene took place at the C3 position if the 2-aryl substituents possessed electron-withdrawing groups and at the C5 position if they were bulky and possessed electron-donating groups.

Covalent modification of proteins at specific, predetermined sites is essential for advancing biological and biopharmaceutical applications. Site-selective labeling techniques for protein modification allow us to effectively track biological function, intracellular dynamics, and localization. Despite numerous reports on modifying target proteins with functional chemical probes, unique organic reactions that achieve site-selective integration without compromising native functional properties remain a significant challenge.

The proteasome is considered an excellent drug target for many infectious diseases as well as cancer. Challenges with robust and safe supply of proteasomes from infectious agents, lack of structural information and complex pharmacology due to multiple active sites have hampered progress in the infectious disease space. We recombinantly expressed the proteasome of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, and demonstrate pharmacological equivalence to the native T.

Building artificial neurons and synapses is key to achieving the promise of energy efficiency and acceleration envisioned for brain-inspired information processing. Emulating the spiking behavior of biological neurons in physical materials requires precise programming of conductance nonlinearities. Strong correlated solid-state compounds exhibit pronounced nonlinearities such as metal-insulator transitions arising from dynamic electron-electron and electron-lattice interactions.

Peripheral modification is often the main approach to optimize natural products for improved biological activity or desired physicochemical properties. This procedure inevitably increases molecular weight, often accompanied by undesired increased lipophilicity. Removing structural elements from natural products is not always tolerated.

Pharmaceutical-aligned research endeavors continue to diversify, including via the installation of new chemical functionality and non-classical bioisosteres within drug design. With this, an equally high demand emerges for the direct installation of isotopic substituents into these scaffolds within drug discovery programmes, as isotopologues are essential for the elucidation of the biological efficacy and metabolic fate of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The sulfoximine functional group has recently become established as a high-value unit in this context; however, general and effective methods for the synthesis of deuterium (H, D) and tritium (H, T) labelled analogues have remained elusive.
