Herein, we present an efficient photoinduced copper-catalyzed N-arylation reaction occurring through the cross-coupling of N–H heteroarene with aryl thianthrenium salt (Ar-TTs). This photoactivation strategy exhibits a broad substrate scope, and offers a method for preserving the activated functional groups (such as Br, CHO, and CN) for subsequent derivatizations.

Tagitinin C, a germacranolide, isolated from Tithonia diversifolia was shown to have an interesting level of activity on the proteasome pathway. It is however a particularly unstable molecule, sensitive to acids, bases, nucleophiles, and light. This article describes a series of modifications aimed at improving the chemical and biological properties of the molecule and securing a solid industrial property. This study particularly focuses on the isobutyrate chain replacement by other esters or ethers. The key steps were the cross-conjugated dienone reactivity neutralization by reduction and the methylene lactone protection with morpholine or imidazole. Selective saponification of the isobutyrate was also achieved with crude pig liver esterase leading to tagitinol C with a moderate yield. Heliangine from the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) and hydroxylated derivatives of tagitinin C from the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), two abundant field crops, constituted alternative sources of germacranolide derivatives not accessible from tagitinin C. Some esters were more potent than the lead compound, whereas the di-ethers displayed higher activity levels, probably due to a better in vivo stability.

The Front Cover shows two dwarves digging for rare minerals and gemstones in a mine. They are excited when they find crystals of bi- and tricyclic diketones and lactones. The cover image suggests that these very rare structures have crystallized over millions of years in incredible geochemical processes. In contrast to this myth, the products have now been synthesized by manganese-catalyzed oxidative radical cyclizations in an aerobic atmosphere.

Herein, we report a one-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyridin-2(H)-one containing thiazole derivatives by Bronsted acid-mediated ring-rearrangement and formal (3+2) cycloaddition reaction of enaminone-based thioalkyne with alkyl/aryl nitrile. The developed protocol demonstrates a wide substrate scope for both the reacting partners with high atom-economy furnishing very high to excellent yields of pharmaceutically relevant bis-heterocyclic derivatives. Based on outcome of the product and control experiments, a plausible reaction mechanism has also been proposed. The gram-scale synthesis and further synthetic transformation demonstrate the synthetic efficacy and utility of the developed protocol.

In the last 20 years the exploitation of antioxidant activity of selenobased compounds has improved, just due to the use of Ebselen, a selenocompound, as a Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimic. However, their clinical use seems to be compromised by the low solubility in water. To deal with this problem is possible to take advantage of the new approach including selenosugars in which selenium replaces heterocyclic oxygen. In this frame, to optimize the antioxidant properties of selenosugars, the glycoconjugation with a polyphenolic unit, which is a molecule capable of inhibiting or disabling the action of free radicals, has been considered in this work. The Mitsunobu reaction mechanism links covalently the primary alcoholic function of selenobased glycosyl donors, coming from the commercially available d-mannose, and phenolic moiety acceptors, to obtain the corresponding glycoconjugates, has been exploited affording the products in efficient yields. A DFT theoretical study was carried out to help understand the possible influence of the seleno donor on the reactivity. Crucially, a new pathway based on Pummerer-like rearrangement followed by a glycosylation, gave a selenosugar with selenium in the ring and bearing an acetal-like functional group at C-1. All compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy confirming their structures and purity.

An efficient catalyst‐free, solvent‐free amination reaction has been developed for the synthesis of various bio‐inspired 6‐substituted amino purine nucleoside analogues in good yields. In this sustainable approach, unprotected 6‐substituted aminopurine nucleoside analogues were synthesized via amination reactions of unprotected 6‐Cl purine nucleosides with various amine derivatives. Notably, this method offers a simple, eco‐friendly, unifying protocol for the synthesis of various bioinspired molecules with highly functional group tolerance. Additionally, to demonstrate its synthetic applicability, a one‐pot, three‐component reaction protocol has been shown for the synthesis of novel 1,2,3‐triazole‐attached hybrid nucleoside containing various drug core moieties via click chemistry.

Conventional synthetic routes to benzofused oxygenated heterocycles, such as Dihydrobenzofuran, chromane and isochromane derivatives, often involve complex synthetic conditions, high costs, and environmental concerns. The key to addressing this challenge lies in achieving transition‐metal‐free C(sp²)–I bond cleavage to enable intramolecular radical cyclization. Inspired by electroreductive strategies, we developed a convenient, transition‐metal‐free electroreductive tandem reaction for synthesizing dihydrobenzofuran, chromane, and isochromane derivatives. Comprehensive evaluation demonstrates that our approach not only simplifies synthetic conditions but also suppresses competing hydrogenation and halogenation pathways at the exocyclic carbon radical center.

A ruthenium-catalyzed C(sp3)H carbene insertion leads to the enantioselective formation of chiral β-lactams in up to 82% isolated yield and excellent enantioselectivities up to 98% enantiomeric excess without any indication of a competing Buchner reaction. The reaction is catalyzed by a new ruthenium complex containing a chiral pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) ligand in combination with a cyclometalated phenylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligand.

Amides derived from common hydroxycinnamic acids — including 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid, 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid, and 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid — along with various free aminobenzoic acids, such as 5-hydroxy-2-aminobenzoic acid, a key component of the avenanthramide family, have been rapidly synthesized using an innovative, environmentally friendly synthetic methodology. This approach, grounded in traditional chemistry, utilizes mixed anhydrides to simultaneously protect and activate hydroxycinnamic acids through the actions of triethylamine and isobutyl chloroformate while employing acetone as a green solvent. The resulting amides, formed from the coupling with free aromatic amino acids, are constructed as O-carbonate-protected derivatives with high yields and purity, isolated directly via crystallization, thus eliminating chromatographic or HPLC purifications. Furthermore, free phenols can be conveniently released on demand using morpholine in methanol. Under these conditions, C-protected aromatic amino acids remain unacylated. This synthetic strategy represents a significant advancement over conventional acyl chloride methodologies, which often rely on toxic reagents and solvents and entail time-consuming and complex procedures. It enhances the production of important phytochemicals such as Avenanthramides and opens doors to various analogs, paving the way for potential pharmacological applications.

Phosphorylated molecules, particularly phosphorylated carbohydrates, have garnered significant interest due to their distinct biological activities, driving an urgent demand for efficient phosphorylation strategies. In this study, we demonstrate the successful development of a SnCl2-catalyzed protocol for the phosphorylation of alcohols and carbohydrates. Notably, the reaction efficiency was found to be critically dependent on the addition order of SnCl2 and N,N-diisopropylethylamine, a phenomenon systematically investigated through mechanistic studies. A one-pot sequential ketalization/phosphorylation strategy was established for polyol substrates, enabling streamlined access to phosphorylated derivatives. The versatility of this approach was further exemplified by achieving selective phosphorylation/phosphinoylation of carbohydrates.
