Carbamate-bearing carbohydrates contribute to the pharmacological properties of various natural glycosides. The catalytic site-selective carbamoylation of minimally protected pyranosides was achieved for the first time to bypass protection/deprotection sequences. 1-Carbamoylimidazoles were used as the carbamoylation reagents to circumvent the harmful and unstable phosgene and isocyanates. This borinic acid catalyzed transformation granted an expedient access to the tumor cell-binding carbamoylmannoside moiety of bleomycins and analogs in yields of 56% to 89%.

Here, we present a three-component successive radical addition strategy for the preparation of complex noncanonical α-amino acids from easily available glycine derivatives, alkenes, and aryl sulfonium salts via a copper-catalyzed photoredox-neutral catalytic cycle. The utility of this method is further demonstrated by its application in late-stage site-selective modifications of glycine residues in short peptides. It is worth noting that only 1 mol % copper catalyst is required in this reaction, demonstrating high catalytic efficiency.

A site-selective coupling involving quinoxalin-2-ones with alkenes and alkynes has been developed through synergistic visible-light photoredox cobalt catalysis. This method enables C3-selective alkylation and alkenylation of both -substituted and -unsubstituted quinoxalin-2-ones, achieving high yields under mild conditions. Of note, the protocol facilitates the incorporation of two alkene units, leading to a formal three-component coupling, whereas a two-component coupling is preferred for alkynes.

4'-Selective alkylation of nucleosides has been recognized as one of the ideal and straightforward approaches to chemically modified nucleosides, but such a transformation has been scarce and less explored. In this Letter, we combine a visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) auxiliary to achieve β-C(sp)-H alkylation of alcohol on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol scaffolds and exploit it for 4'-selective alkylation of nucleosides. The reaction involves an intramolecular 1,5-HAT process and stereocontrolled Giese addition of the resultant radicals.

α-Halo borides are generally constructed Matteson homologation, and the synthesis of both fluorinated and functionalized ambiphilic boronates is challenging and has received inadequate attention. Herein, we describe the -methyliminodiacetyl boronate [B(MIDA)]-directed halogenation of alkenes a complementary sequence involving fluoroalkyl radical addition followed by guided radical-to-metal oxidative addition and C-X reductive elimination. The alkali cation and functional groups in B(MIDA) enable coulombic interaction and weak attraction with halogens, which could weaken the Pd-X bond and assist in C-X bond formation and is verified by DFT calculations.

Understanding the carbon formation on Ni surfaces is critical for the controlled Ni-based nanofabrication and heterogeneous catalysis. Due to the high solubility of carbon in nickel and the complicated migrations of carbon in the near-surface area, achieving a fundamental understanding of the initial carbonation of a Ni surface at an atomic level is experimentally challenging. Herein, the initial formation of surface carbon adsorbates on Ni(111) from the Boudouard reaction (2CO ↔ CO + C) is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
