Abstract Trifluoromethyl ynones derived from the refrigerant gas HFO‐1234yf (2,3,3,3‐tetrafluoropropene) react with nucleophiles via a Michael‐type addition process and the allenolate intermediate formed reacts intramolecularly with a carbonyl group to form heterocyclic derivatives. Thus, reaction of 2‐amino and 2‐hydroxyl benzaldehyde or ketone substrates with trifluoromethyl ynone derivatives gives trifluoromethyl quinoline and chromene products by a one‐pot tandem ring closing sequence, forming pharmaceutically relevant structures from an inexpensive starting material without the need for transition metals or column chromatography. The 2‐trifluoromethylquinoline products also show unusual fluxional behaviour, which was explored through 2‐D NMR and X‐ray crystallographic studies.

HFO‐1234yf as a CF3 Building Block: Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl Quinoline and Chromene Derivatives from Trifluoromethyl‐ynones

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is a powerful tool to identify bioactive compounds. This efficient technique allows the target to select its own binders and circumvents the need for synthesis and biochemical evaluation of all individual derivatives. An ever‐increasing number of publications report the use of DCC on biologically relevant target proteins. This minireview complements previous reviews by focusing on the experimental protocol and giving detailed examples of essential steps and factors that need to be considered, such as protein stability, buffer composition and cosolvents.

Abstract Piperazines are widely used as central elements in the construction of bioactive molecules. Herein, the short synthesis of two chiral 2,6‐bridged piperazines possessing orthogonally stable protecting groups from readily available starting materials is described. It is suggested that these molecules may be used as conformationally restricted scaffolds for the combinatorial synthesis of drug‐like compounds. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.

Recently the aqueous medium has attracted the interest of organic chemists, and many, sometimes surprising, discoveries have been made. Among the organic reactions investigated in aqueous medium, the Diels−Alder cycloaddition has been the most widely studied because of its great importance in the synthetic and theoretical fields. The Diels−Alder reaction is greatly enhanced by Lewis acid catalysis, and this review illustrates recent significant results in this field when the reaction is performed in aqueous medium.

Abstract The three carbasugars, 5a‐carba‐α‐ D ‐gluco‐, ‐α‐ D ‐galacto and ‐β‐ L ‐gulopyranose pentaacetates 42 , 35 and 28 respectively, have been prepared in a stereodivergent manner from D ‐mannose. Alkynyl derivatives of 2,3:4,6‐di‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐ D ‐mannopyranose, which are homologated at C‐1 by reaction with trimethylsilylacetylide, undergo a 6‐ exo ‐ dig radical cyclization, from a radical located at C‐5, to yield a mixture of highly functionalized exo‐methylenecyclohexanes. Ozonolysis of the exocyclic double bond in the latter generated cyclohexanones which, upon stereoselective reduction of the carbonyl moiety followed by site‐selective deoxygenation either at position C‐4 or C‐5a (parent carbohydrate numbering), afforded the title carbasugars.

Plastics play a crucial role in the survival and advancement of human civilization. However, the increasing challenge of plastic pollution presents significant obstacles. Disposal methods such as incineration and landfilling result in substantial resource wastage and pose potential environmental hazards. The slow progress in recycling and reusing waste plastics hinders their industrial application and effective response to environmental crises. Photocatalysis offers promising solutions for the future of plastic recycling, particularly with the recent increase in photocatalytic degradation methods for polystyrene (PS). This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the photooxidation of PS into high‐value chemicals.

Chalcogen bond catalysis is a promising catalytic strategy, characterized by its environmental friendliness, relatively inexpensive cost, and similar reactivity to transition metal catalysis. Experimental results suggest that the S•••π and Se•••π bonds can efficiently drive the vinyl‐indole‐based Diels‐Alder reaction (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 9395‐9400). In this work, chalcogen bond catalysis in the Diels‐Alder reaction between 2‐vinylindoles has been investigated based on density functional theory. For this reaction, the Te•••π bond catalysis is as an alternative catalytic strategy. The Diels‐Alder reaction catalyzed by chalcogen bond is stepwise and involves two steps: the carbon–carbon bond formation process and the cyclization process. The cyclization process is the rate‐determining step. From the perspective of energy decomposition analysis, the electrostatic interaction is the main factor to cause Se•••π bond catalysis, the polarization interaction is the main factor to cause Te•••π bond catalysis. Additionally, this catalytic reaction involves the endo pathway and exo pathway. The Gibbs free energy barrier values of the endo pathway are lower than those of the exo pathway, which facilitates the formation of the endo product. This study will provide a valuable perspective on the application of chalcogen bond in the activation of alkenes.

The methylthio group plays a significant role in antitumor bioactive molecules, candidate drugs and natural products. Deuteration modification of drugs, which could prolong the half‐life, reduce toxicity, and enhance targeting, has become an important strategy in the development and discovery of innovative drugs. Combining the unique properties of the methylthio group with the deuteration effect, the rapid introduction of trideuteromethylthiol groups into small organic molecules is essential for advancing the research and development of deuterated drugs. With the rapid development of new trideuteromethylthiolation reagents, this review first outlines the indirect introduction of trideuteromethylthiol groups, and then discusses the direct nucleophilic, electrophilic and free radical trideuteromethylthiolation methods.

Furfural is produced on a large commercial scale from lignocellulose and can be used for the preparation of several industrial chemicals with four to five carbon atoms. Further functionalization of furfural by C−H activation, however, is less widely developed. In the present work, tetrabutylammonium decatungstate is investigated as an inexpensive photocatalyst for activating the aldehyde C−H bond and mediate a coupling between furfural and electron‐deficient olefins. The results show that furfural can be successfully added to benzylidene malononitriles, acrylates, itaconic anhydride, maleic anhydride, 2‐vinylpyridine and phenyl vinyl sulfone to generate the corresponding furanyl ketones in moderate‐to‐good yields. The electronic properties of the electron‐deficient olefins are instrumental for achieving a favorable reaction with furfural. The findings show how photocatalysis can be used to form new carbon‐carbon bonds from a platform molecule, which in this way can be converted into a number of more advanced structures.

Abstract Lignocellulosic biomass remains underutilized despite its annual production in gigaton quantities. Sulfur is another vastly underutilized waste product of fossil fuel refining. New mechanistic insight into the reactions of sulfur unveiled since 2020 suggest a rich and hitherto unexplored chemistry between biomass‐derived olefins and elemental sulfur. In this study, four biomass‐derived olefins (eugenol ( 1 ), 4‐allyl‐2,6‐dimethoxyphenol ( 2 ), o ‐eugenol ( 3 ), and 2‐allyl‐6‐methylphenol (4) ) were reacted with elemental sulfur to elucidate the S−C bond‐forming and other reactivity of these compounds. Each of the compounds was reacted with elemental sulfur in three sulfur : organic reactant ratios (2 : 1, 4 : 1 and 9 : 1) and at two temperatures (180 °C or 230 °C). Product mixtures were characterized using 1 H NMR spectrometry and GC‐MS analysis. Products resulting from a range of mechanisms were unveiled, including inverse vulcanization, S−C allylic/benzylic bond formation, S−C aryl bond formation, intramolecular cyclization, C−C σ‐bond scission, and C−O σ‐bond scission. It is anticipated that the insights from this study will support further synergy between the critical sustainability goals of biomass and sulfur utilization.
