The regio- and site-selectivity of organic reactions is one of the most important aspects when it comes to synthesis planning. Due to that, massive research efforts were invested into computational models for regio- and site-selectivity prediction, and the introduction of machine learning to the chemical sciences within the past decade has added a whole new dimension to these endeavors. This review article walks through the currently available predictive tools for regio- and site-selectivity with a particular focus on machine learning models while being organized along the individual reaction classes of organic chemistry. Respective featurization techniques and model architectures are described and compared to each other; applications of the tools to critical real-world examples are highlighted. This paper aims to serve as an overview of the field's for both the intended users of the tools, that is synthetic chemists, as well as for developers to find potential new research avenues.

Catalytic methods by switching the least parameters for regioselective and site-divergent transformations to construct different architectures from identical and readily available starting materials are among the most ideal catalytic protocols. However, the associated challenge to precisely control both regioselectivity and site diversity renders this strategy appealing yet challenging. Herein, Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile regioselective and site-divergent 1,2- and 1,3-arylalkylations of -acyl allylic amines have been developed.

An efficient and practical glycosylation platform for synthesizing -glycosides by leveraging palladium catalysis is disclosed. This approach enables facile access to diverse heterocyclic -glycosides with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities and high site selectivity of multiple N atoms. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope (65 examples), high functional group tolerance, and easy scalability.

- Protein modification has gained importance in chemical biology, especially for creating more uniform bioconjugates, with a focus on modifying antibodies through cysteine targeting.
- Current methods typically react all accessible cysteines in the same way after reducing disulfide bonds, limiting site-selective modifications.
- The research introduces innovative dehydroalanine forming reagents capable of selectively modifying different cysteines in antibodies and small peptides, allowing for more precise antibody modifications and the potential to expand chemical biology tools.
