The insertion of cyclic building blocks in oligoureas to stabilize or modulate the properties of the 12/14-helix was often fruitless. We herein propose a fully compatible highly constrained building block that could be incorporated into oligoureas to develop highly stable and functional oligoureas helices.

Transforming an azaarene into the spine of fusedbicyclics via cycloaddition-induced scaffold hopping of 5-Hydroxypyrazoles.

Skeleton editing for heteroarenes, especially pyrazoles, is challenging and remains scarce because these non-strained aromatics exhibit inert reactivities, making them relatively inactive for performing a dearomatization/cleavage sequence. Here, we disclose a cycloaddition-induced scaffold hopping of 5-hydroxypyrazoles to access the pyrazolopyridopyridazin-6-one skeleton through a single-operation protocol. By converting a five-membered aza-arene into a five-unit spine of a 6/6 fused-bicyclic, this work unlocks a ring-opening reactivity of the pyrazole core that involves a formal C = N bond cleavage while retaining the highly reactive N-N bond in the resulting product.

Context: -Pinene, a bicyclic monoterpene found extensively in the essential oils of conifers, has shown potential in pharmacological applications. This study theoretically investigates the structural and electronic properties of the (1S)- - -pinene crystal, focusing on its potential for nanoelectronic applications due to the observed wide band gap. Structural analysis revealed that the crystal's unit cell contains 104 atoms with orthorhombic symmetry, and its lattice parameters show excellent agreement with experimental data.

For the first time, the photochemical behavior of aryl-substituted 2,3-dihydropyrazine 1,4-dioxides was investigated. A common feature of all observed photoprocesses is the conversion of nitrone moieties into an oxaziridine ring to give substituted bi- or polycyclic systems. It was shown that the direction of the reaction depends on the irradiation wavelength and the employed solvent.

Exploring the reactivity of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates to access new imidazoline I receptor ligands.

Recent studies pointed out the modulation of imidazoline I receptors (I-IR) by selective ligands as a putative strategy to face neurodegenerative diseases. Foregoing the classical 2-imidazoline/imidazole-containing I-IR ligands, we report a family of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates endowed with high affinity and selectivity upon I-IR and we advanced a representative compound B06 in preclinical phases. In this paper, we describe the synthetic possibilities of bicyclic α-iminophosphonates by exploring its ambivalent reactivity, leading to unprecedented molecules that showed promising activities as I-IR ligands in human brain tissues and good BBB permeation capabilities.
