Small peptides containing combinations of cysteine, tyrosine, histidine, and serine residues react with octafluorocyclopentene (OFCP) to afford atypically structured macrocycles through successive vinylic substitutions. The reactions proceed rapidly in air at 0 °C and are tolerant of spectating tryptophan, asparagine, glutamine, and threonine residues. Hexapeptides of consensus sequence YXCXXC displace four fluorine atoms from OFCP to generate fluorinated macrobicyclic compounds that display dual-turn surfaces. The method provides facile access to a wide range of previously unknown heterocyclic structures.

The construction of high-strength hydrogels is essential for engineering applications but is often limited by poor durability under stress. Current post-treatment methods are inefficient and time consuming. Inspired by muscle building, we propose a green, efficient, and synergistic enhancement method.

Synthetic organic chemists continually draw inspiration from biocatalytic processes to innovate synthetic methodologies beyond existing catalytic platforms. Within this context, although 1,2-amino migration represents a viable biochemical process, it remains underutilized within the synthetic organic chemistry community. Here we present a biomimetic 1,2-amino migration accomplished through the synergistic combination of biocatalytic mechanism and photoredox catalysis.

For many industrial application, there arise a demand for multistate with multicolor emissive materials due to its substantial applications than fluorophore shows emission in single state. Therefore, in this work donor-acceptor-donor' (D-A-D') based three organic emitters (DSE1-DSE3) were synthesized. A substituted phenyl ring and cyano vinyl unit are used to manage molecular geometry and steric hindrance to reduce the gap between AIE and ACQ, resulting in an improved dual-state emission.

An efficient and transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of unprecedented vinyl chloride-substituted BODIPYs has been developed through tandem Friedel-Crafts, enolization and chlorination reactions. This transformation offers high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, enabling the synthesis of a variety of β-vinyl chloride-β'-acyl- and β,β'-divinyl chloride-substituted BODIPYs in a one-pot reaction at room temperature. Further functionalization gave a β,β'-divinyl chloride-substituted BODIPY with triphenyl phosphonium moieties, which showed favorable two-photon mitochondrion-targeting imaging capacity in living cells with intense deep-red fluorescence.

A highly enantioselective electrophilic selenylation/semipinacol rearrangement of allenols has been developed, which is enabled by the cooperative catalysis of a chiral sulfide and an achiral sulfonic acid. The designed and synthesized chiral sulfide catalyst and selenylating reagent play a crucial role in enhancing both enantioselectivity and reactivity. This approach exhibits excellent regio-, chemo-, and enantioselectivity, providing access to diverse enantioenriched cyclopentanones featuring an arylselenovinyl-substituted quaternary carbon stereocenter.
