Published: July 2024

The versatile reactivity of isothiocyanate intermediates enabled the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of N-heterocycles in a DNA-compatible manner. We first reported a mild conversion of DNA-conjugated amines to isothiocyanates. Subsequently, a set of diverse transformations was successfully developed to construct 2-thioxo-quinazolinones, 1,2,4-thiadiazoles, and 2-imino thiazolines. Finally, the feasibility of these approaches in constructing DELs was further demonstrated through enzymatic ligation and mock pool preparation. This study demonstrated the advantages of combining conversion strategies with DOS, which effectively broadened the chemical and structural diversity of DELs.

A pyridine containing a 2-alkynyl substituent armed with a carbene reporter group [R = C(Me)OAc] is shown to engage electrophilic allenes to generate intermediate free carbenes. Depending on the electron density at the carbene carbon atom, a feature that is modulated by the substituents on the allene substrate, the carbene will either rearrange or eject an acetate leaving group, leading to various types of indolizine-containing products. Iso(thio)cyanates react in an analogous fashion.

A new class of heterocyclic ,-aminal and hemiaminal scaffolds was successfully obtained by means of a three-component reaction (3-CR) of 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes (DDs), α-aminoacetals and iso(thio)cyanates. These stable imine surrogates are generated from key-substituted (thio)hydantoin intermediates through selective FeCl-catalyzed intramolecular -annulation.

Room-temperature photoactivation of the first- and second-generation PNP-pincer nickel azido complexes and in the presence of CO or CS afforded N-bound carbamates, dithiocarbamates, and isothiocyanates, providing insights into CO and CS activation and demonstrating how a seemingly small difference in the ligand structure significantly influences the reactivity. Theoretical calculations disclosed that the charge of the phosphorus atom plays a critical role in determining the nitrogen atom transfer to form a plausible nickel phosphiniminato intermediate.

A facile transition-metal-free synthesis of 3,5-bis(het)aryl/arylaminothiadiazoles has been reported. The overall protocol involves base-mediated tandem thioacylation of amidines with dithioesters or aryl isothiocyanates in DMF solvent and subsequent in situ intramolecular dehydrogenative N-S bond formation of thioacylamidine intermediates under an inert atmosphere. A probable mechanism involving a carbamoyl anion, generated by deprotonation of DMF, acting as a radical initiator has been suggested.
