We report a telescopic two‐step synthetic strategy for efficiently constructing [1 H ]‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl modified phenylalanine conjugates. The method combines Sonogashira coupling and a one‐pot domino reaction involving desilylation, azidation, and click chemistry. This protocol enhances the potential for peptide modification and facilitates the synthesis of polyazide derivatives that can be suitable for dendrimeric cores. This reaction yields good results and provides a scalable route, successfully accommodating a wide range of aromatic and heteroaromatic methyl bromides, while achieving excellent chiral integrity and 100% 1,4‐regioselectivity. We also explored the application of a 1,4‐disubstituted [1 H ]‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl phenylalanine conjugate as a directing group for C(sp 2 )‐H di‐halogenation.

Michael acceptors derived from biomass resources, such as carbohydrates, have been synthesized and their H 2 S scavenging properties studied. The most promising candidates were compared with the commercial H 2 S scavenger MEA‐triazine by studying the aqueous phase scavenging reactions using in situ Raman spectroscopy and the gas–liquid reactions were evaluated in a flow setup. Based on cost and scavenging efficiency considerations, the industrially most promising candidates were submitted to ecotoxicity studies. We have found three families of Michael acceptors, which are readily available and can be tailor‐made to serve as sulfide scavengers under different conditions.

The trifluoromethyl (CF3) group is a ubiquitous motif in drug discovery campaigns due to its ability to markedly improve the ADME properties of small molecules while maintaining potency. The isotopologue labeling of CF3‐bearing drugs with fluorine‐18 has gained attention for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. However, their radiolabeling via conventional 18F‐trifluoromethylation methods relies almost completely on nucleophilic and radical [18F]CF3‐reagents, whereas there remains no general means to incorporate a formal [18F]CF3+ into PET tracer candidates. Herein, we disclose the realization of a novel electrophilic 18F‐labeled trifluoromethylating reagent based on the family of 10‐λ‐3 hypervalent iodines: [18F]Togni reagent I. The method uses nucleophilic ligand substitution at iodine by the [18F]Ruppert–Prakash reagent, providing [18F]Togni reagent I in a radiochemical yield of 4.3 ± 0.8% and a molar activity of 15 ± 9.6 GBq/μmol. Initial studies on the utility of this reagent demonstrate the direct, late‐stage formation of C(sp3)−[18F]CF3 bonds via metallaphotoredox‐mediated conversion of naturally abundant carboxylic acids. Hence, this work illustrates the potential of the novel electrophilic [18F]CF3‐reagent as a complementary approach leading to valuable 18F‐trifluoromethylated architectures in PET tracer development.

We describe a hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)‐promoted epoxide ring‐opening cyclization of readily accessible 2‐[(2‐substituted‐1‐naphthyloxy)methyl]‐3‐aryloxiranes, proceeding via a regioselective 7‐endo cyclization at the peri (C8) position of the naphthalene ring. This transformation provides a new class of naphtho[1,8‐bc]oxepine derivatives with complete regio‐ and diastereoselectivity. The C2 substituent on the naphthalene framework, along with the π‐activating aryl group on the epoxide, plays a pivotal role in enabling the reaction. The method operates under mild conditions, tolerates a broad substrate scope, and is readily amenable to gram‐scale synthesis. Moreover, the versatility of this strategy is underscored by its successful extension to the diastereoselective synthesis of oxepino[4,3,2‐cd]indoles.

Facile synthetic routes for the conversion of a series of N‐aryl propargylamines to thiazolidin‐2‐imines and formamides are described. A cross‐linked chitosan‐supported copper(II) biocomposite (CS‐PDB@Cu(NO3)2) was employed as a heterogeneous catalyst in a one‐pot multicomponent reaction involving primary amines, formaldehyde, terminal alkynes, and isothiocyanates in toluene, yielding thiazolidin‐2‐imines in moderate to good yields (25%–70%) via N‐aryl propargylamine intermediates. Additionally, N‐formylation of N‐aryl propargylamines using the Vilsmeier reagent afforded formamides in high yields (70%–88%). A total of 20 thiazolidin‐2‐imine derivatives and 22 formamide derivatives were successfully isolated. All isolated products were characterized by 1H and 13C {1H} NMR and HRMS spectroscopy. The CS‐PDB@Cu(NO3)2 biocomposite catalyst was recyclable for up to three catalytic cycles through simple filtration. Reaction intermediates for both transformations were identified by LC‐MS analysis. Furthermore, the structures of two thiazolidin‐2‐imine compounds, 4h and 4t, were unambiguously confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography.

Rhodium(III)‐catalyzed C–H activation/annulation reactions of glycal derivatives with alkynes have been developed, providing an efficient approach to structurally diverse pyridone‐ and pyranone‐fused sugar frameworks. The catalytic system of [Cp*RhCl2]2/Ag2CO3 in 1,2‐dichloroethane effectively promoted the annulation to give the pyridone‐fused product. The methodology was applicable to a wide range of glycal‐derived primary and secondary amides as well as carboxylic acids, affording the corresponding annulated sugars in moderate to excellent yields. Remarkably, the carboxylic acid‐based annulation proceeded under mild conditions (40°C–80°C) to give pyranone‐fused derivatives in high yields. The annulated products underwent smooth acidic deprotection to furnish the corresponding triols without decomposition, demonstrating the robustness of the fused heterocyclic frameworks.

The synthesis of disaccharide mimics of Campylobacter jejuni HS:4c capsular polysaccharide, a major pathogen associated with campylobacteriosis, is challenged by the presence of a 1,2‐cis‐β‐linked 6‐deoxy‐d‐ido‐heptopyranoside. Herein, the development of a synthetic route to orthogonally protected d‐ido‐hexo‐ and 6‐deoxy‐d‐ido‐heptopyranosyl donors is reported bearing diverse anomeric leaving groups, which represents, to the best of knowledge, the second direct access to 6‐deoxy‐d‐ido‐heptopyranosides from ido‐configured precursors. These donors were evaluated in intramolecular aglycon delivery (IAD) and intermolecular glycosylation protocols. While IAD enabled complete β‐stereoselectivity with hexosyl donors, it failed with the heptosyl analog. Intermolecular glycosylation provided mixtures of anomers, but the use of a 7‐O‐acetyl‐protected heptosyl donor allowed access to the disaccharide in good yield, with chromatographic separation of the α‐ and β‐anomers. Structural analysis revealed unexpected conformational behavior, with the α‐disaccharide adopting the 1C4 chair conformation. This work establishes a foundation for the synthesis of C. jejuni HS:4c disaccharides and represents a step toward well‐defined sugar‐based vaccines candidates against campylobacteriosis.

In this review, we explore recent advancements in synthesizingextended aromatic quinoliziniumderivatives via intramolecular aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) or oxidative 6π‐electrocyclization mechanisms. We first explore their historical synthesis through standard thermal activation and then focus on their synthesis using more efficient and greener activation methods, such as electrosynthesis or photochemical processes. We compare the efficiency of these methods and rationalize through a mechanistic point of view how the choice of leaving groups and substituents on the aromatic backbone affects synthesis outcomes and reaction scope. Finally, we give an overview of the readily accessible quinolizinium skeletons prepared through this intramolecular reaction and explore the current challenges that remain to be addressed to expand their synthetic toolbox.

Herein, we described an efficient gold(I)‐catalyzed redox cycloisomerization/[3+2] dipolar cycloaddition domino reaction of o‐(alkynyl)nitrobenzenes. The domino process involves the in situ generation of α‐oxo gold carbenes via intramolecular redox reactions of alkynes and nitro functional groups, followed by the formation of nitrones and subsequent intramolecular [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction to furnish a diverse array of complex isoxazolidine‐containing polycyclic scaffolds in moderate to good yields, with up to excellent diastereoselectivities.
