The tandem nucleophilic addition-cycloaddition reaction has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized imidazolidine derivatives. A variety of α-iminoesters and aryne precursors were well tolerated under the mild reaction conditions. This asymmetric cycloaddition afforded imidazolidine derivatives with high yields, complete regioselectivities, and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Aryne-induced ylides working as 1,3-dipoles for asymmetric cycloaddition are the notable feature of the present reaction. In the tandem reaction, the [3+2] cycloaddition of aryne-induced ylides with metallized α-iminoesters and metal-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylide with α-iminoesters are two concurrent pathways to imidazolidines.

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.

The functionalization of protein sidechains with highly water-soluble chlorotriazines (or derivatives thereof) using nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions has been commonly employed to install various functional groups, including poly(ethylene glycol) tags or fluorogenic labels. Here, a poorly soluble dichlorotriazine with an appended indole is shown to react with a construct containing the disordered domain of BRCA1. Subsequently, this construct can undergo proteolytic cleavage to remove the SUMO-tag: the -terminal poly(His) tag is still effective for purification.

Adduction on protein nucleophile sites by mustard agents can be monitored to assess detection of retrospective exposure to these agents. Cysteine 34 (Cys34) on human serum albumin was selected as the target of choice. This work targets di- and tripeptides adducted on Cys34 by sulfur mustard, sesquimustard, and nitrogen mustards separated in hydrophilic liquid chromatography (HILIC) and Reversed-Phase (RP) mode.

Due to its unique three-dimensional (3D) configuration and great application potential in medicinal chemistry and synthetic community, chemists have been pursuing concise and efficient methods to synthesize C3 spirocyclic indoline derivatives. In this work, a dearomatization-spirocyclization-nucleophilic addition tandem approach was developed to realize the synthesis of 2-phosphonylated C3 spirocyclic indolines with indolyl-ynones and phosphine oxides as reactants; mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and good yields are characteristics of this transformation.

Reported herein is a convenient and efficient method for one-pot, catalytic reductive amination, as well as the first multi-component tandem reductive amination-functionalization of bench-stable and readily available common carboxylic esters. This method is based on the cationic [Ir(COD)]BArF-catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation of esters, followed by one-pot acid-mediated amination and nucleophilic addition. The reaction was conducted under mild conditions at a very low catalyst loading (0.
