-Boc--(2-(tritylthio)ethoxy)glycine has been developed as a building block for peptide ubiquitination, which is fully compatible with solid-phase Fmoc chemistry and common peptide modifications including phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, biotinylation, and fluorescence labeling. The optimal conditions for peptide cleavage and auxiliary removal were obtained. The utility of this building block in peptide ubiquitination was demonstrated by the synthesis of seven ubiquitinated histone and Tau peptides bearing various modifications. Cys residues were well tolerated and did not require orthogonal protection. The structural integrity and folding of the synthesized ubiquitinated peptides were confirmed by enzymatic deubiquitination of a fluorescently labeled ubiquitin conjugate. The synthetic strategy using this building block provides a practical approach for the preparation of ubiquitinated peptides with diverse modifications.

Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive cross-coupling reactions provide rapid and modular access to enantioenriched building blocks from simple electrophile precursors. Reductive coupling reactions that can diverge through a common organometallic intermediate to two distinct families of enantioenriched products are particularly versatile but underdeveloped. Here, we describe the development of a bis(oxazoline) ligand that enables the desymmetrization of -anhydrides.

Platform chemicals from renewable resources with broad applications are highly desirable, particularly for replacing fossil-based monomers. Bifunctional aliphatic ester-aldehydes, accessible via regioselective hydroformylation of unsaturated oleochemicals, can be converted into linear ω-amino/ω-hydroxy esters and dicarboxylic acids-key building blocks for biobased aliphatic polycondensates. However, their success hinges on efficient, economically viable production, with catalyst recycling being critical.

A highly electron-rich S,N heteroacene building block is developed and condensed with FIC and Cl-IC acceptors to furnish CT-F and CT-Cl, which exhibit near-infrared (NIR) absorption beyond 1000 nm. The C-shaped CT-F and CT-Cl self-assemble into a highly ordered 3D intermolecular packing network via multiple π-π interactions in the single crystal structures. The CT-F-based organic photovoltaic (OPV) achieved an impressive efficiency of 14.

Nucleotide sugars (NSs) are essential building blocks for the enzymatic assembly of glycans. In this study, we established a preparation and recycling avenue to the biocatalysts for the enzymatic synthesis of NSs. This approach involves fusing two enzymes into a bifunctional chimera and using elastin-like polypeptides (ET64) as a purification tag, which allows for easy recovery of these biocatalysts without the need for chromatography.

Developing low-cost unipolar n-type organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) is necessary for logic circuits. To achieve this objective, the usage of new electron-deficient building blocks with simple structure and easy synthetic route is desirable. Among all electron-deficient building units, N-oxide-functionalized bipyridines can be prepared through a simple oxidized transformation of bipyridines.
