Intramolecular tandem seleno-Michael/aldol reaction followed by an oxidation-elimination process can be an efficient tool for the construction of hydroxy cyclo-1-ene-1-carboxylate esters from oxo-α,β-unsaturated esters. Generation of lithium selenolate from elemental selenium and n-BuLi provides a simple and efficient one-pot access to cyclic endo-Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts.

G-quadruplex (G4), an important secondary structure of nucleic acids, is polymorphic in structure. G4 monomers can associate with each other to form multimers, which show better application performance than monomers in some aspects. G4 dimers, the simplest and most widespread multimeric structures, are often used as a representative for studying multimers.

Cyclic peptides have higher stability and better properties as therapeutic agents than their linear peptide analogues. Consequently, intramolecular click chemistry is becoming an increasingly popular method for the synthesis of cyclic peptides from their isomeric linear peptides. However, assessing the purity of these cyclic peptides by mass spectrometry is a significant challenge, as the linear and cyclic peptides have identical masses.

This paper presents a copper(I)-catalyzed intramolecular tandem acylation/-arylation of methyl 2-[2-(2-bromophenyl)acetamido]benzoates for the synthesis of benzofuro[3,2-]quinolin-6(5)-ones under mild conditions. The combination of CuI, 1,10-phenanthroline, and KCO in DMSO was found to be the optimal reaction condition, producing the target products in high yields (84-99%) at 70 °C for 16 h. The tandem reaction was applicable to substrates bearing halo, electron-withdrawing, and electron-donating groups at their phenyl moieties with a broad substrate scope.

A total synthesis of javaberine A was achieved through a lithium amide-mediated intramolecular hydroamination of an N-allyl aminoalkene. The desired hydroamination was accomplished using an excess of i-PrNH with a substoichiometric amount of n-BuLi. Using an excess of both n-BuLi and i-PrNH led to tandem cyclization, however, resulting in the construction of a tricyclic structure through the formation of one C-N and two C-C bonds in a single operation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the genetic basis and pathogenic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by performing whole-genome sequencing on 57 Japanese ASD patients and their parents.
  • Researchers identified potentially pathogenic variants in about 31.6% of the patients, with a higher rate (43.5%) among those with comorbid intellectual developmental disorder (IDD), highlighting specific genes like PTEN and CHD7 linked to recognized ASD phenotypes.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of understanding the genetic underpinnings of ASD to aid in clinical diagnosis and treatment, though no significant results were found regarding short tandem repeats or polygenic risk scores.
