N‐Sulfonyl Azalevoglucosan: A Versatile Platform for the Synthesis of Polysubstituted Piperidines
Gain by strain: The synthesis of a levoglucosan analog, in which the pyranose oxygen has been replaced by a nitrogen, allows navigation on the piperidine ring to iteratively install functional groups at C1, C2, C3, C4, and C6 positions using simple experimental protocols with minimal protecting group manipulation.

A Stable Isopterin Mimic of a Potent Bacterial Stimulant of T Cells
A microbial metabolite covalently binds immunological protein MR1 to potently activate specific lymphocytes called MAIT cells, but it is too unstable for biological applications. Here, using synthesis, assays, protein crystallography, and computer modelling, we report a water‐stable analogue that activates reporter cells expressing the MAIT T cell ...

Self‐Immolative Poly(Benzyl Ether)s: Design Principles and Controlled Depolymerization
Unzipping to Sustainability: This Concept article explores the thermodynamic design of quinone‐methide (QM)‐based poly(benzyl ether)s (PBEs). It explains how a low ceiling temperature (Tc), QM stability, and an entropic gain drive rapid depolymerization (“unzipping”) of PBEs into monomers.

The Radical Chemistry of 2,3‐Diguanidinopyridines: Coordination and Visible‐Light Photochemistry
Substitution at the pyridine core of 2,3‐diguanidinopyridines was used to develop novel redox‐active molecules with three interconvertible redox states. They are applied as redox‐active ligands in coordination chemistry. Visible‐light irradiation of the pyridine N‐benzylated molecules leads to photoconversion to a higher‐energetic isomer.
