Nitrile Oxide−Dehydroalanine Cycloaddition is a bioconjugation strategy between dehydroalanine-containing proteins and nitrile oxides, remarkably, in fully aqueous-buffered systems without an additional catalyst. This novel method of chemical protein modification forms isoxazoline ring enhancing the diversity function structure. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction adds fluorescent label to f...

An efficient and flexible synthetic approach to the core structures of pinnaic acid and halichlorine is described using spirocyclic nitrone 4 as a key intermediate. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of 4 with dipolarophile 8 provides access to the azaspirocyclic core of pinnaic acid 5 while the spiroquinolizidine core of halichlorine 6 has been synthesised via cycloaddition of 4 with dipolarophile 29. ...

Increasing interests have been invested in the development of synthetic strategies toward the construction of spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3'-oxindole], which is the core structural skeleton in some compounds with diverse biological activities. In this work, an efficient diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides generated in situ from 3-amino oxindoles and aldehydes with...
