An efficient organocatalytic asymmetric tandem conjugate addition-protonation of α-substituted isocyanoacetates to 2-chloroacrylonitrile catalyzed by dihydroquinine-derived thiourea has been investigated, affording the corresponding adducts with two non-adjacent tertiary-quaternary stereocenters in excellent yields (up to 99%) along with good to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 20 : 1 dr, up to 95% ee) under mild conditions. The adduct can also be transformed into chiral γ-lactam by synthetic transformations.

ConspectusChiral organosilicon compounds bearing a Si-stereogenic center have attracted increasing attention in various scientific communities and appear to be a topic of high current relevance in modern organic chemistry, given their versatile utility as chiral building blocks, chiral reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and chiral catalysts. Historically, access to these non-natural Si-stereogenic silanes mainly relies on resolution, whereas their asymmetric synthetic methods dramatically lagged compared to their carbon counterparts. Over the past two decades, transition-metal-catalyzed desymmetrization of prochiral organosilanes has emerged as an effective tool for the synthesis of enantioenriched Si-stereogenic silanes.

As a class of readily available and multifunctional building blocks, the chemistry of 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates remains to be explored. Presented herein is a palladium-catalysed cascade transformative reaction between 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates and -functionalised activated alkenes. Achiral 1,1-bisalkyl-4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates undergo highly regioselective propargylic substitution with -hydroxyphenyl-tethered activated alkenes, and an auto-tandem vinylogous addition, unusual central-carbon Tsuji-Trost alkylation, protonation and β-H elimination process is followed to furnish fused and spirocyclic frameworks with high structural complexity.

Organics electrooxidation coupled hydrogen production has attracted increasing attention due to the low operation voltage. Nevertheless, the spontaneous production of hydrogen coupled with organics valorization remains challenging. Herein, we develop ultrathin Au/Pt twin nanowire (NW) catalysts for both electrochemical glucose oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction towards a spontaneous hydrogen production system.

We introduce a protocol for spatial proteomics using thin cryotome sections of mouse skeletal muscle tissue. We describe steps for preparing muscle sections and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses to generate spatial protein profiles along the longitudinal skeletal muscle axis. We detail procedures for scanning longitudinal protein profiles and replacing missing data using a sliding window approach.

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.
