Crystallographic investigation into the self-assembly, guest binding, and flexibility of urea functionalised metal-organic frameworks [PDF]
Introduction of hydrogen bond functionality into metal-organic frameworks can enhance guest binding and activation, but a combination of linker flexibility and interligand hydrogen bonding often results in the generation of unwanted structures where the ...

Halogen, Chalcogen, Pnictogen, and Tetrel Bonding in Non-Covalent Organocatalysis: An Update.
The use of noncovalent interactions based on electrophilic halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, or tetrel centers in organocatalysis has gained noticeable attention.

Total Synthesis of Feglymycin Using Umpolung Amide Synthesis
A total synthesis of the antiviral feglymycin is described, leveraging enantioselective umpolung amide synthesis (UmAS). The strategic use of UmAS to prepare the aryl glycine‐rich tridecapeptide reduced hazardous amide coupling agents by 50%, and replaced asymmetric synthesis reliant on toxic transition metals by organocatalysis.

N-heterocyclic germylenes: structural characterisation of some heavy analogues of the ubiquitous N-heterocyclic carbenes [PDF]
The X-ray crystal structures of three N-heterocyclic germylenes (NHGes) have been elucidated including the previously unknown 1,3-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)diazagermol-2-ylidene (1).

A binary organic–inorganic acid cooperative catalytic system has been developed to achieve highly enantioselective electrochemical oxidative rearrangement of indoles. The use of electricity as an oxidant in this case showed several advantages including environmental benignity and improved enantiocontrol.

Stereodivergent propargylic alkylation of enals via cooperative NHC and copper catalysis
The ability to construct multiple stereocenters in a modular fashion is an important goal of synthetic organic chemistry. Here the authors present a method to construct oxindoles in four stereoisomers with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity

The aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of electronically and sterically deactivated substrates. [PDF]
The aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman (azaMBH) reaction has been studied for electronically and sterically deactivated Michael acceptors. It is found that electronically deactivated systems can be converted with electron-rich phosphanes and pyridines as ...

Nitrogen‐Centered Organic Persistent Radicals Catalyze Redox‐Neutral C─C Bond Forming Reactions
Kuhn verdazyls, discovered over 60 years ago, are shown as effective catalysts for the first time. Their tunable redox properties enable organocatalytic redox‐neutral C─H arylation and C─H trifluoromethylation reactions without light activation.

Asymmetric Organocatalysis: A Survival Guide to Medicinal Chemists
Majority of drugs act by interacting with chiral counterparts, e.g., proteins, and we are, unfortunately, well-aware of how chirality can negatively impact the outcome of a therapeutic regime.

Stereodivergent, Diels-Alder-initiated organocascades employing α,β-unsaturated acylammonium salts: scope, mechanism, and application. [PDF]
Chiral α,β-unsaturated acylammonium salts are novel dienophiles enabling enantioselective Diels-Alder-lactonization (DAL) organocascades leading to cis- and trans-fused, bicyclic γ- and δ-lactones from readily prepared dienes, commodity acid chlorides ...
