The catalyst cinchonidine-squaramide was immobilized within three different deep eutectic solvents (DES): (Betaine: D-Sorbitol: Water), (Betaine: D-Xylitol: Water) and (Betaine: D-Mannitol: Water) and evaluated in a well-known asymmetric Michael addition. These reactions provided excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 98%) using only 1 mol% of catalyst. It was also possible to achieve 9 cycles in reactions with DES (Betaine: D-Sorbitol: Water), proving the high recyclability of this system. In the reactions realized with only 0.5 mol% of catalyst, it was possible to achieve 5 cycles and the products were obtained with high yields (up to 95%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94%), using DES (Betaine: D-Sorbitol: Water).

This short review describes the assistance of click chemistry in the chemical modification of glycosaminoglycans. Through an alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, the chemically and physiologically stable triazole unit connects glycosaminoglycans with other labelled or attached functionalities. The synthesized glycosaminoglycan (GAG) conjugates act as drug carriers, forming hydrogels or nanohydrogels for localized drug delivery or injectable GAGs and so on. These are used in research on antithrombotic agents, protein binding, and hepatocyte growth factors, as well as in mechanistic studies of glycosaminoglycans biosynthesis and wound healing.1 Introduction2 Synthetic Modification of GAGS3 Click Chemistry4 Modification of GAGS Applying Click Chemistry5 Conclusions6 Abbreviations

This review reports the synthesis of various bioactive macrocycles, involving ring-closing metathesis as a key step, developed since ca. 2000. These macrocycles exhibited biological activities such as antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer activities, and more. Thus, their syntheses and utilization are essential for both synthetic organic and medicinal chemists.

A direct oxidative alkylarylation reaction of N-arylacrylamides with simple alkanes for the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles under metal-free conditions was demonstrated. By using PhI(OAc)2 [(diacetoxy)iodobenzene] as an oxidant, a series of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing different aryl or alkyl substituents were generated in moderate to excellent chemical yields via a radical-initiated alkylation/cyclization process. The reported method features good functional group tolerance and wide substrate range, and provides an effective method for the preparation of various alkyl substituted 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles.

A simple, eco-friendly and straightforward synthesis of hydrazones have been devised in the presence of Chitosan Hydrochloride as catalyst in aqueous-ethanol medium at room temperature. The current protocol offers metal-free synthesis, adaptability to large-scaleup, good yields, and quicker reaction time. All synthesized hydrazones (3a-3j) were also depicted good antimycobacterial activity with MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) ranging from 3.12-6.25 µg/mL. Compound 3b represented strong binding affinity against M. tuberculosis pantothenate synthetase (pdb id: 3IVX) with a Glide docking score of -8.803 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis of the complex 3b:3IVX retained good stability over the simulation period of 20 ns.

Photoredox catalysis has revolutionized synthetic chemistry in recent decades. However, the field has traditionally used high-energy blue/ultraviolet light to activate chromophores. High-energy irradiation is associated with several drawbacks (e.g., activation of sensitive functional groups, undesired metal-ligand homolysis, background activation of molecules, and poor penetration), which has led researchers to develop alternative systems with lower energy deep red (DR) or near-infrared (NIR) light. This graphical review provides a concise overview of photophysical principles relevant to photoredox catalysis. Several applications that benefit from low-energy irradiation, such as large-scale batch reactions, photodynamic therapy, biological labeling, and multi-photon excitation are reviewed.
