A radical addition/nitrile insertion/homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS) cascade reaction to prepare 6-quaternary alkylated phenanthridines was developed. The addition of the active methylene radicals which were generated from 2-bromoacetonitrile, ethyl 2-bromoacetate, 2-bromo-N,N-dimethylacetamide, or 2-bromo-1-phenylethan-1-one to carbon-carbon double bonds of N-arylacrylamides followed by the cyano-participating sequential cyclization produced a series of phenanthridines in moderate to good yields under photoredox catalysis.

1,4-Dibenzodiazepines, an important component of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, are widely present in drugs. Herein, we developed a photochemical radical cascade cyclization reaction of isocyanides with α-carbonyl bromides under mild conditions. A sequence of 11-alkyl-substituted 1,4-dibenzodiazepines were produced in 53%-85% yields, demonstrating excellent tolerance towards various functional groups.

A POCT assay based on commercial HCG strip for miRNA21 detection by integrating with RCA-HCR cascade amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a.

A point-of-care testing (POCT) assay based on commercial HCG strip was proposed for miRNA21 detection by integrating RCA-HCR cascaded isothermal amplification with CRISPR/Cas12a. Three modules were integrated in the proposed platform: target amplification module composed of rolling circle amplification (RCA) cascaded with hybridization chain reaction (HCR), signal transduction module composed of CRISPR/Cas12a combined with HCG-agarose gel beads probes, and signal readout module composed of commercial HCG strips. The proposed RCA-HCR-CRISPR/Cas12a-HCG strip assay for miRNA21 detection had high sensitivity, and the limit of detection was as low as 37 fM.

Proximity labeling (PL) has emerged as a powerful technique for the in situ elucidation of biomolecular interaction networks. However, PL methods generally rely on single-biological-hierarchy control of spatial localization at the labeling site, which limits their application in multi-tiered biological systems. Here, we introduced another enzymatic reaction upstream of an enzyme-based PL reaction and targeted the two enzymes to markers indicating different biological hierarchies, establishing a two-level spatially localized proximity labeling (P2L) platform for in situ molecular measurement and manipulation.

Herein, we report a Cu-DTBP-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between 1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)--indole-3-aldehyde and arylalkene, using DMF as the solvent. Under relatively mild reaction conditions, a series of indole compounds were synthesized in moderate yields (up to 73%). This protocol features good functional group tolerance and high atom economy.

A novel silver-catalyzed cascade radical isonitrile insertion and defluorinative cyclization have been developed to synthesize CFH- and phosphinoyl-containing quinolines from -isocyanyl α-trifluoromethylstyrenes. The reaction proceeded under redox-neutral conditions and allowed the construction of a highly attractive quinoline ring system, with the simultaneous formation of the CFH group and introduction of various phosphinoyl groups in a single transformation, showing operational simplicity, a wide substrate scope, good tolerance for functional groups, and remarkable atom-/stepeconomy. Mechanistic studies indicated that the reaction is likely to involve the participation of P-centered radicals and key carbanion intermediates.
