The synthesis of alkylated diazine derivatives is important for their practical utilization as pharmaceuticals and for other purposes. Herein, we describe the metal-free site-selective C-H alkylation of diazine -oxides using phosphonium ylides that affords a variety of alkylated diazine derivatives with broad functional group tolerance. The utility of this method is showcased by the late-stage functionalization of a commercially available drug such as varenicline. Notably, the sequential C-H alkylation of pyrazine -oxides for the total synthesis of a pyrazine-containing natural product, paenibacillin A, highlights the importance of this method.

ConspectusMolecular photoelectrocatalysis, which combines the merits of photocatalysis and organic electrosynthesis, including their green attributes and capacity to offer novel reactivity and selectivity, represents an emerging field in organic chemistry that addresses the growing demands for environmental sustainability and synthetic efficiency. This synergistic approach permits access to a wider range of redox potentials, facilitates redox transformations under gentler electrode potentials, and decreases the use of external harsh redox reagents. Despite these potential advantages, this area did not receive significant attention until 2019, when we and others reported the first examples of modern molecular photoelectrocatalysis.

Here we present a regio- and stereoselective alkylation approach for unprotected saccharides using synergistic boronic acid and photoredox catalysis. Targeting the equatorial C-H bond of the -1,2-diol motif, this method employs MeB(OH) as a catalyst. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the formation of a tetracoordinate boron species, resulting from the interaction between the cyclic boronic diol ester and a free hydroxyl group in the saccharide, is critical to this transformation.

The synthetic approach based on a sequence of Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling and annulation through intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation has been used for the construction of novel 4-alkyl-4-thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,3-]quinoxaline derivatives. For the first time, these polycyclic compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity, including extensively drug-resistant strains. A reasonable bacteriostatic effect against HRv was demonstrated.

The mechanistic link between the complex mutational landscape of de novo methyltransferase DNMT3A and the pathology of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not been clearly elucidated so far. Motivated by a recent discovery of the significance of DNMT3A-destabilizing mutations (DNMT3A) in AML, we here investigate the common characteristics of DNMT3A AML methylomes through computational analyses. We present that methylomes of DNMT3A AMLs are considerably different from those of DNMT3A AMLs in that they exhibit increased intratumor DNA methylation heterogeneity in bivalent chromatin domains.
