A one-pot strategy for α-keto amide bond formation have been developed by using ynamides as coupling reagents under extremely mild reaction conditions. Diversely structural α-ketoamides were afforded in up to 98% yield for 36 examples. This reaction features advantages such as practical coupling procedure, wide functional group tolerance, and extremely mild conditions and has potential applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Carbon-carbon bond forming reactions are powerful synthetic tools for constructing organic molecular frameworks. In this study, strongly Lewis acidic bis(pentafluorophenyl)boron enolates were generated from alkynes through oxygen transfer from 2,6-dibromopyridine N-oxide using tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(CF)]. Boron enolates were highly reactive owing to the strong Lewis acidity of the boron centers, and thus immediately coupled with alkynes.

Over past decades, chiral amides and peptides have emerged as powerful and versatile compounds due to their various biological activities and interesting molecular architectures. Although some chiral condensation reagents have been applied successfully for their synthesis, the introduction of racemization-free methods of amino acid activation have shown lots of advantages in terms of their low cost and low toxicity. In this review, advancements in amide and peptide synthesis using racemization-free coupling reagents over the last 10 years are summarized.

Although simple γ-lactones and γ-lactams have received considerable attention from the synthetic community, particularly due to their relevance in biological and medicinal contexts, stereoselective synthetic approaches to more densely substituted derivatives remain scarce. The in-depth study presented herein, showcasing a straightforward method for the stereocontrolled synthesis of γ-lactones and γ-lactams, builds on and considerably expands the stereodivergent synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds by a ynamide/vinyl sulfoxide coupling. A full mechanistic and computational study of the rearrangement was conducted, uncovering the role of all of the reaction components and providing a rationale for stereoselection.
