Concise Synthesis of (+)-allo-Kainic Acid via MgI2-Mediated Tandem Aziridine Ring Opening-Formal [3+2] Cycloaddition [PDF]
3-Methyl vinyl aziridine undergoes a mild MgI2-promoted S(N)2' ring opening and concomitant cyclization with fumarate Michael acceptors to give trisubstituted pyrrolidines. The process is efficient and highly diastereoselective. This methodology has been

The electrophilicities (Mayr E) of the α, β‐unsaturated ketones A and B were determined by kinetic studies of their reactions with carbanions (reference nucleophiles) in DMSO at 20°C. The different reactivities of A and B were rationalized by DFT calculations.

Inactivation of the Burkholderia Toxin Malleicyprol by Enzymatic Cyclopropanol Ring Opening
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are dangerous pathogens that cause severe diseases with high mortality rates. Their virulence relies in part on malleicyprols, potent toxins containing a highly reactive cyclopropanol group. In this study, we identify BurK, a heme‐dependent oxidoreductase that neutralizes malleicyprols by enzymatically ...

Oxetanes: Recent Advances in Synthesis, Reactivity and Medicinal Chemistry [PDF]
The 4-membered oxetane ring has been increasingly exploited for its behaviors, i.e. influence on physicochemical properties as a stable motif in medicinal chemistry, and propensity to undergo ring opening reactions as a synthetic intermediate.

Thiophenderivate als vielseitige Vorstufen für die Synthese von (Hetero)aromaten und Naturstoffen
Verborgen, aber leistungsstark: Thiophene und ihre gesättigten Analoga haben sich als vielseitige C4‐Bausteine erwiesen, die sich effektiv in der Naturstoffsynthese sowie beim Aufbau funktionalisierter (Hetero)aromaten einsetzen lassen. Dieser Minireview soll einen Überblick über Strategien zur Anwendung dieser schwefelhaltigen heterozyklischen ...

Bifunctional Aziridines from Photochemically Generated FSO2NH2 for SuFEx Diversification of Alkenes
Photochemically generated FSO2NH2 serves as a safe, practical nitrene precursor for Rh‐catalyzed aziridination of alkenes, granting access to previously inaccessible fluorosulfonyl aziridines. These bifunctional electrophiles merge aziridine ring strain with SuFEx reactivity to provide a modular platform toward aliphatic sulfamoyl fluoride derivatives ...
