A radical cascade process involving the activation of two aliphatic C–H bonds in a series of five elementary steps converts readily available terminal alkynes into functionalized cyclopentylmethyl arylsulfones. The methodology delivers flexible synthetic intermediates and was applied to the preparation of diquinanes and triquinanes possessing a rare ...

Organotin(IV) Dithiocarbamate Complexes: Chemistry and Biological Activity
Significant attention has been given to organotin(IV) dithiocabamate compounds in recent times. This is due to their ability to stabilize specific stereochemistry in their complexes, and their diverse application in agriculture, biology, catalysis and as

Copper‐Catalyzed Three‐Component Selective 1,4‐Amino Oxygenation of 1,3‐Dienes
Enclosed is a copper‐catalyzed selective 1,4‐amino oxgenation of 1,3‐dienes with the presence of a strong Brønsted acid. This three‐component transformation offers a novel and powerful approach to construct (E)‐1,4‐allylic amino oxygenated motifs by the simultaneous installation of structurally diverse alkylamines and alcohols directly onto 1,3‐dienes.

Photochemical Approaches to Complex Chemotypes: Applications in Natural Product Synthesis. [PDF]
The use of photochemical transformations is a powerful strategy that allows for the formation of a high degree of molecular complexity from relatively simple building blocks in a single step. A central feature of all light-promoted transformations is the

Nonheme Fe enzyme isopenicillin N synthase was reprogrammed and evolved as an efficient nitrogen migratase IPNSNim, converting diverse azanyl esters to valuable l‐arylglycines with up to 16 000 TTN and 97:3 e.r. IPNSNim and ACCONim allowed enantiodivergent preparation of both l‐ and d‐arylglycines.

Genomics-inspired discovery of massiliachelin, an agrochelin epimer from Massilia sp. NR 4-1
A putative siderophore locus was detected in the genome of the violacein-producing bacterium Massilia sp. NR 4-1 and predicted to direct the biosynthesis of a molecule that is structurally related to the thiazoline-containing siderophore micacocidin.

Enantioselective synthesis of non-proteinogenic 2-arylallyl-α-amino acids via Pd/In catalytic cascades [PDF]
An efficient synthesis of both R- and S-enantiomers of 2-arylallyl-α-amino acids via a diastereoselective Pd/In mediated catalytic allylation of chiral N-sulfinyl-α-imino esters is described.
