Rh -catalyzed C-H functionalization reaction yielding isoindolinones from aryl hydroxamates and ortho-substituted styrenes is reported. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions at room temperature, and tolerates a range of functional groups. Experimental and computational investigations support that the high regioselectivity observed for these substrates results from the presence of an ortho-substituent embedded in the styrene. The resulting isoindolinones are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. They provide easy access to the natural-product-like compounds, isoindolobenzazepines, in a one-pot two-step reaction. Selected isoindolinones inhibited Hedgehog (Hh)-dependent differentiation of multipotent murine mesenchymal progenitor stem cells into osteoblasts.

Optically pure monosubstituted [n]paracyclophanes are promising candidates for material synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, and drug discovery. Thus far, only a few catalytic asymmetric synthesis processes have been reported for assessing these stained atropisomers. In this study, we describe a highly enantioselective synthesis of monosubstituted [n]paracyclophanes by combining desymmetrization and kinetic resolution.

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are Cu-dependent metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydroxylation of strong C-H bonds in polysaccharides using O or HO as oxidants (monooxygenase/peroxygenase). In the absence of C-H substrate, LPMOs reduce O to HO (oxidase) and HO to HO (peroxidase) using proton/electron donors. This rich oxidative reactivity is promoted by a mononuclear Cu center in which some of the amino acid residues surrounding the metal might can accept and donate protons and/or electrons during O and HO reduction.

Photochemistry-based silica formation offers a pathway toward energy-efficient and controlled fabrication processes. While the transformation of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) to silica (often referred to as SiO due to incomplete conversion) under deep ultraviolet (DUV) irradiation in the presence of oxygen/ozone has experimentally been validated, the detailed mechanism remains elusive. This study demonstrates the underlying molecular-level mechanism of PDMS-to-silica conversion using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

An efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation of azobenzenes and subsequent [4+1] cascade annulation with CF-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides was developed, yielding diverse CF-indazoles. This protocol featured easily available starting materials, excellent functional group tolerance and high efficiency. Moreover, the antitumor activities of selected CF-indazoles against human cancer cell lines were also studied, and the results indicated that several compounds displayed considerable antiproliferative activities.

Efficient access to pyranoisoquinoline derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed double C-H functionalization of phenyl oxadiazoles and diazo compounds has been developed. Two C-C bonds and one C-O and C-N bond formation was realized by this tandem reaction, along with the formation of two heterocycles, affording diversified pyran-fused isoquinolines in moderate to good yields with broad functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions.
