In the title compound, phenyl (S)-2-[(S)-(1-{2-[(S)-(1-{[(tert-but-oxy)carbon-yl]amino}-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octan-2-yl)formamido]-propanamido}-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octan-2-yl)formamido]-3-phenyl-propano-ate chloro-form monosolvate, C42H56N4O7·CHCl3, the α,β-hybrid peptide contains two non-proteinogenic amino acid residues of (S)-1-amino-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octane-2-carb-oxy-lic acid [(S)-ABOC], two amino acid ...

A bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN)-based cyclooctyne reagent bearing a photocrosslinking diazirine (DAz) group and a biotin affinity handle, BCN-DAz-Biotin, is reported. BCN-DAz-Biotin is capable of simultaneously delivering photocrosslinking and affinity tags to azide-labeled biomolecules, enabling photoactivated capture and enrichment/detection of interacting species in native contexts.

Compounds a containing bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) adjacent to chiral center can be prepared with high enantiomeric excess through asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones. In the reduction step, BCP occupies position distant from η6-arene catalyst. The was applied synthesis analogue antihistamine drug neobenodine.

A new and efficient method for the preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched α-aryl 2- or 3-indolyl-methanamines by rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of N-sulfonyl indolylimines with arylboronic acids using chiral bicyclo[3.3.0] diene was developed.

A DDQ-mediated domino reaction (up to six steps in a single process) has been developed to selectively provide substituted dihydrofurans from a common starting material containing a cyclic bis-thioenol ether. Study of the reaction mechanism highlighted a role played by the sulfur-containing moiety in influencing reaction rate and stereoselectivity.

The N,N'-dimesitylene substituted o-phenylenediamine 1 reacts with Sn[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) under formation of the monomeric N-heterocyclic stannylene 2, while the chiral N,N'-substituted o-phenylenediamine 3 reacts with E[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) (E = Ge, Sn) under formation of the chiral germylene 4 and the chiral stannylene 5, respectively. X-Ray diffraction studies with both stannylenes demonstrated t...

The bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)(diphenylacetylene)palladium complex [Pd(ITMe)2(PhC≡CPh)] (ITMe=1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) acts as a highly active pre-catalyst in the diboration and silaboration of azobenzenes to synthesize a series of novel functionalized hydrazines. The reactions proceed using commercially available diboranes and silaboranes under mild reaction conditions.

Genetically encoded tyrosine (Y-tag) can be utilized as a latent anchor for inducible and site-selective conjugation. Upon oxidation of tyrosine with mushroom tyrosinase, strain-promoted cycloaddition (SPOCQ) of the resulting 1,2-quinone with various bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN) derivatives led to efficient conjugation. The method was applied for fluorophore labeling of laminarinase A and for the...
