Flavin Catalysts in Organic Synthesis
Flavins and their congeners are potent catalysts for organic synthesis inspired by enzymatic transformations. In addition to catalysis in the flavin ground state via covalent intermediates, the excited singlet and triplet states unlock applications including photooxidation, photoreduction, and energy transfer via sensitization.

An enantioselective Pd(0)‐catalysed arylation at the C4‐position of thiazole N‐oxides directly forges the atropochiral heterobiaryl axis. A tailored point‐ and axially chiral monodentate phosphine ensures high reactivities along with a tight stereocontrol.

Cobalt‐Catalyzed [2σ+2π] Cycloaddition via Site‐Selective Capture of Bicyclobutane Diradical
We report a Co(II)‐catalyzed strategy that combines thermal activation of bicyclo[1.1.0]butane (BCBs) with site‐selective radical capture to furnish head‐to‐head fused bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes via [2σ+2π] cycloaddition with indoles. Detailed mechanistic studies (31P NMR, EPR, CV, and DFT) support the catalytic pathway, while phosphine‐oxide trapping and X‐

Dehydroamino acids (DHAA) are atypical electrophilic sites that lead to crosslinked proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. No catalyst for their formation has been known in humans. We report that metal oxides catalyze β‐elimination of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine in model peptides at pH 7.5°C and 37°C, yielding DHAAs.
