Thioglycosides or S-linked-glycosides are important glycomimetics. These thioglycosides are often prepared by glycosylating deoxythio sugar acceptors, which are synthesized elaborate protecting group manipulations. We discovered that a carbonyl group, formed by site-selective oxidation of unprotected saccharides, can be converted into a thiol moiety. The transformation involves S1-substitution of a chloro-azo intermediate, formed by oxidation of the corresponding trityl hydrazone, with a thiol. The prepared deoxythio sugars provide, in combination with the recently developed protecting group-free glycosylation of glycosyl fluorides, a protecting group-free synthesis of thioglycosides.

Directed Evolution and Unusual Protonation Mechanism of Pyridoxal Radical C-C Coupling Enzymes for the Enantiodivergent Photobiocatalytic Synthesis of Noncanonical Amino Acids.

Visible light-driven pyridoxal radical biocatalysis has emerged as a new strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of valuable noncanonical amino acids in a protecting-group-free fashion. In our previously developed dehydroxylative C-C coupling using engineered PLP-dependent tryptophan synthases, an enzyme-controlled unusual α-stereochemistry reversal and pH-controlled enantiopreference were observed. Herein, through high-throughput photobiocatalysis, we evolved a set of stereochemically complementary PLP radical enzymes, allowing the synthesis of both l- and d-amino acids with enhanced enantiocontrol across a broad pH window.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the challenges faced by traditional anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in alkaline environments, specifically their durability issues due to degradation of fixed cationic groups, which limits their effectiveness in alkaline water electrolysis (AWE).
- A new type of membrane, called the cationic group-free ion solvating membrane (ISM-PBI-FG), was developed using a sol-to-gel transformation process; it features a highly porous microstructure that allows for high alkali uptake and excellent ionic conductivity.
- The ISM-PBI-FG membrane shows superior performance in AWE, with notable current densities using both platinum-group and platinum-group-free catalysts, as well as significant operational flexibility and durability in concentrated alkaline conditions,
Protecting-Group Free Total Synthesis of β-Levantenolide through Late Stage Bromo-Spirocyclization.

We describe a concise asymmetric total synthesis of naturally occurring [5,5]-oxaspirolactone β-levantenolide through an adventitious bromo-spirocyclization reaction of a -decalin appended γ-alkylidenebutenolide. The γ-alkylidenebutenolide core was constructed through "Pd-Cu" bimetallic cascade lactonization reaction of properly functionalized enantiopure alkyne. (+)-Sclareolide was used as a chiral pool starting material to access the desired alkyne.

Article Synopsis
- - A new method for synthesizing resibufogenin and bufalin was developed using only seven steps without the need for protecting groups, starting from androstenedione (AD).
- - The synthesis involved introducing a hydroxyl group at C14 using hydroxylase P-450, which helped control the configuration at C17 during subsequent reactions.
- - The final steps included dehydrating the intermediate and using epoxidation to produce resibufogenin, while bufalin was synthesized through a more complex anaerobic Mukaiyama hydration process.
