Synthetic Strategies for Activity‐Based Probes to Decode Ubiquitin‐Like Modifiers

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubls) such as SUMO, NEDD8, ISG15, URM1, UFM1, FAT10, ATG8/ATG12, and FUBI are essential regulators of cellular homeostasis, controlling processes from protein stability and trafficking to immune signaling and autophagy.

A DFT Study on the Mechanism of Selective Formation of Substituted Azepines From 1‐Azabutadienes and Cyclopropanes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The origin of the unusual regioselectivity in the Mg‐catalyzed cyclization of azadiene‐type imines with cyclopropanes is elucidated by DFT calculations. Although five‐membered rings are typically favored, energy decomposition analysis reveals that severe steric congestion induces a highly distorted transition state, rendering the five‐membered pathway ...

When Light Challenges Heat: Mechanistic Insights Into a Reaction Competing With Cadogan Cyclisation in Nitro‐Perylenediimides

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Visible‐light irradiation of nitro‐perylenediimide in the presence of triphenylphosphine reveals an unexpected pathway competing with the classical Cadogan cyclization. Mechanistic investigations uncover the rapid and selective formation of bay‐functionalized 1‐iminophosphorane‐12‐hydroxy perylenediimide derivatives.

Monosubstituted N‐Arylhydroxylamine Chemistry: Integrating Contemporary Synthetic Approaches for the Efficient Construction of Diverse Heterocyclic Scaffolds

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Monosubstituted N‐arylhydroxylamines represent a unique subclass of hydroxylamines that act as pivotal intermediates in redox transformations and as versatile platforms for further synthetic transformations. They serve as key building blocks in the synthesis of architecturally complex heterocycles and other valuable organic compounds.

Regioselectivity of catechol O-methyltransferase confers enhancement of catalytic activity

, 2011
Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) metabolizes catechol moieties by methylating a single hydroxyl group at the meta- or para- hydroxyl position. Hydrophobic amino acids near the active site of COMT influence the regioselectivity of this reaction.

Enzymatic Prenylation of Proteins and Peptides: From Cysteine S‐Prenylation to Tryptophan‐Selective Biocatalysis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

Exploring and exploiting benzylic regioselectivity in rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation [PDF]

, 2011
This project involves a study into the hydroformylation of substituted alkenes and ways to exploit “benzylic regioselectivity”. It was our aim to develop a clean, selective hydroformylation reaction which takes advantage of the tendency for benzylic ...

Photolytic Hydrophosphination: Insights Into Catalyzed and Uncatalyzed Processes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Catalyst‐free photolytic hydrophosphination is demonstrated for vinyl arenes and activated alkenes in polar protic (alcohol) solvents. These reactions appear to be closed‐shell, affirming that even ambient light can impact a reaction—a potentially broad influence on even mundane reactions.

Alkali‐Metal Base Catalyzed Electrocyclization of Isoprene Derivatives

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Simple and abundant alkali‐metal base catalysis in combination with Lewis basic polyamines enables the electrocyclization of isoprene‐derived trienes to cycloheptadienes under neat conditions. Mechanistic insight supported by DFT guides a scalable route to seven‐membered carbocycles which, after reduction, give saturated cycloalkanes relevant as ...
