Efficient and selective molecular syntheses are paramount to biomolecular chemistry and material sciences as well as for practitioners in chemical, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Organic electrosynthesis has undergone a considerable renaissance and has thus in recent years emerged as an increasingly viable platform for the sustainable molecular assembly. In stark contrast to early strategies by innate reactivity, electrochemistry was recently merged with modern concepts of organic synthesis, such as transition-metal-catalyzed transformations for C-H functionalization and asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we highlight the unique potential of organic electrosynthesis for sustainable synthesis and catalysis, showcasing key aspects of exceptional selectivities, the synergism with photocatalysis, or dual electrocatalysis, and novel mechanisms in metallaelectrocatalysis until February of 2021.

Deuterated compounds have broad applications across various fields, with dehalogenative deuteration serving as an efficient method to obtain these molecules. However, the diverse electronic structures of active sites in the heterogeneous system and the limited recyclability in the homogeneous system significantly hinder the advancement of dehalogenative deuteration. In this study, we present a catalyst composed of copper single-atom sites anchored within an ordered mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, synthesized via a mesopore confinement method.

Dysregulation of choline phospholipid metabolism and overexpression of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is implicated in various cancers. Current known enzyme inhibitors include compounds based on a 2-morpholino-5--benzylamino benzoic acid, or hydroxamic acid, scaffold. In this work, 81 compounds were made by modifying this core structure to explore the pharmacophore.

Some novel sulphonyl thiourea derivatives (7a-m) containing 4,6-diarylpyrimidine rings were designed and synthesized using a one-pot procedure. These compounds exhibited remarkable dual inhibitory activity against human carbonic anhydrase CA I, CA II, CA IX, and XII isoenzymes and some cancer cell lines. Among them, some thioureas had significantly more potent inhibitory activities in the order of 7l > 7c > 7f (against the CA I isoform), 7f > 7b > 7c (against the CA II isoform), 7c > 7g > 7a > 7b (against the CA IX isoform), and 7d > 7c > 7g > 7f (against the CA XII isoform).

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors contain a unique α-D-glucosamine-(1→6)--inositol [αGlcN(1,6)Ins] motif in their conserved core structure. To facilitate investigations of the functional roles of this structural motif, two GPI analogues containing unnatural βGlcN(1,6)Ins, instead of αGlcN(1,6)Ins, and an alkyne group at different positions of the GPI core were designed and synthesized. To this end, an orthogonally protected pseudopentasaccharide derivative of GPIs with the βGlcN(1,6)Ins motif was convergently constructed via [3+2] glycosylation and used as the common intermediate to prepare both GPI analogues by streamlined synthetic protocols.

Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a severe lung injury caused by chronic liver disease, with limited understanding of the disease pathology. Exosomes are important mediators of intercellular communication that modulates various cellular functions by transferring a variety of intracellular components to target cells. Our recent studies have indicated that a new long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), PICALM-AU1, is mainly expressed in cholangiocytes, and is dramatically induced in the liver during HPS.
