In this investigation, an unprecedented transition-metal-free and redox-neutral synthesis of sulfilimines was realized through the S-arylation of readily obtainable sulfenamides employing diaryliodonium salts. The pivotal step encompassed the resonance between bivalent nitrogen-centered anions, engendered postdeprotonation of sulfenamides under alkaline conditions, and sulfinimidoyl anions. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that sulfinimidoyl anionic species function as efficacious nucleophilic reagents, affording sulfilimines with notable to exceptional yields and superlative chemoselectivity, all executed within a transition-metal-free protocol and under exceptionally mild conditions.

Dual photoredox and copper-catalyzed remote asymmetric C(sp)-H alkylation of hydroxamic acid derivatives with glycine derivatives via a 1,5-hydrogen transfer (1,5-HAT) process has been realized. The reaction was characterized by redox-neutral and mild conditions, good yields, excellent enantioselectivity, and broad substrate scope. This protocol provides a straightforward and efficient strategy to prepare highly valuable enantioenriched noncanonical α-amino acids.

All-carbon quaternary and tertiary stereocenters connected at the C2-position of functionalizable C3-alkylated indole nucleus are commonly occurring frameworks found in many indole alkaloids of medicinal importance. Their direct access is scarcely reported, a long-standing problem, and developing a unique yet simple method can pave the pathway to an entirely different retrosynthetic route for the total synthesis of these alkaloids. Herein, this problem is addressed by developing an unprecedented branch-selective allylation strategy employing a broad range of structurally and electronically different 3-alkenyl-indoles and allylboronic acids.

The avermectins make up a biologically relevant class of complex natural products that continue to inspire the development of new strategies in chemical synthesis. Herein, we disclose a concise synthesis of the southern core of avermectin aglycon. The key hydrobenzofuran was forged by either reductive cyclization or cycloisomerization, both using a cationic palladium precatalyst.

Herein, we describe a practical Borono-Catellani strategy for the efficient synthesis of -aryl glycosides, with readily available arylboronic esters and glycosyl chlorides as the building blocks. It features mild reaction conditions, excellent diastereoselectivities, and good functional group tolerance. A diverse array of highly decorated -(hetero)aryl glycosides are obtained in a convergent and redox-neutral manner.
