Tubulin and histone deacetylase have been clinically proven as promising targets for cancer therapy. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of chiral 1,4-diarylazetidin-2-one-based hydroxamic acids as novel tubulin/HDAC dual inhibitors. Among them, compound 12a was validated to effectively disrupt tubulin polymerization, and exhibited potent HDAC1/8 inhibitory activities. Meanwhile, 12a showed good antiproliferative activities against four tumor cell lines. Further studies showed 12a works through blocking cellular cycle, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting colony formation. In addition, 12a has suitable physicochemical properties and high liver microsomal metabolic stability. Importantly, compound 12a was found to exhibit significant antitumor efficacy in vivo, thus warranting it as a promising tubulin/HDAC dual inhibitor for further development.

Herein, we propose to synthesize stereoblock polythioethers through the chain shuttling enantioselective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of thiiranes. The use of diastereoisomeric dinuclear Cr complexes with optimized steric hindrance allowed the production of polythioethers with both a head-to-tail content and isotacticity of >99%. In particular, the introduction of dithiols enabled the synthesis of stereoblock polythioethers via a chain shuttling process, thus producing sulfhydryl-telechelic polythioethers with tunable thermal properties.

The diverse utility of acyclic vinylsilanes has driven the interest in the synthesis of enantioenriched vinylsilanes bearing a Si-stereogenic center. However, the predominant approaches for catalytic asymmetric generation of Si-stereogenic vinylsilanes have mainly relied on transition metal-catalyzed reactions of alkynes with different silicon sources. Here we successfully realize the enantioselective synthesis of linear silicon-stereogenic vinylsilanes with good yields and enantiomeric ratios from simple alkenes under rhodium catalysis.

Z-classified topological phases lead to a larger-than-unity number of topological states. However, these multiple topological states are only localized at the corners in nonlocal systems. Here, first, we rigorously prove that the multiple topological states of nonlocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains can be inherited and realized by local aperiodic chains with only the nearest couplings.

The endoperoxide scaffold is found in numerous natural products and synthetic substances of pharmaceutical interest. The main challenge to their synthetic access remains the preparation of chiral compounds due to the weakness of the peroxide bond, which limits the scope of available or applicable methods. Here, we demonstrate how peroxycarbenium species can be trapped by silylated nucleophiles with high enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities when applicable, using a chiral imidophosphorimidate (IDPi) as a catalyst.
