Published: October 2019

We herein delineate an unexplored reactivity of 3-hydroxyoxindoles toward Grignard addition enabling a rapid access to a broad range of unnatural C2-quaternary 2-hydroxyindoxyls in high yields. The reaction proceeds via a mechanistically intriguing one-pot 1,2-hydride shift followed by autoxidation pathway. The utility of this method is demonstrated by the synthesis of a new class of bis-indoxyl spirofuran derivatives.

-functionalization of pillar[]arenes has been a formidable challenge, partially due to the fragility of their macrocyclic skeletons. In this concise report, we describe a facile synthetic method for monoarylation/alkylation at the position to the oxime functionality in pillar[4]arene[1]benzoquinone monoxime () via addition of Grignard reagents. The described method enables the creation of various mono--alkyl/aryl-substituted pillar[5]arene derivatives that were previously inaccessible.

Although numerous transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkenyl electrophiles with a sulfur(VI) leaving group, mainly alkenyl sulfones, have been developed, most rely heavily on highly nucleophilic Grignard reagents, and the use of organoboron reagents remains challenging. We report herein facile preparation and the following Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of alkenyl sulfoximine, a monoaza analog of sulfone. The condensation of alkyl sulfoximine with aldehydes, developed in this study, makes alkenyl sulfoximines more readily available.

Germanium (Ge) has long been recognized for its superior carrier mobility and narrower band gap compared to silicon, making it a promising candidate in microelectronics and optoelectronics. The recent demonstration of good biocompatibility, combined with the ability to selectively functionalize its surface, establishes the way for its use in biosensing and bioimaging. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the most recent advancements in the wet chemical functionalization of germanium surfaces.

Herein, we report a method for the regioselective alkylation and phosphonation of quinoline C4-H via a BH-mediated nucleophilic addition of Turbo Grignard reagents and phosphine oxide anions to quinolines bearing different substituents, affording the 4-alkyl and 4-phosphoryl quinolines and tetrahydroquinolines after one-pot oxidation or reduction. The results indicate that coordination of the BH group can activate substrates toward a potential 1,4-dearomative addition and subtly control the regioselectivity by preventing the 1,2-dearomative addition.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a public health problem that affects around 12% of the global population. The treatment is based on analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or arthrocentesis associated with hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplementation. However, the use of hyaluronic acid alone in viscosupplementation does not seem to be enough to regulate the intra-articular inflammatory process.
