It is of fundamental importance to transform carbon monoxide (CO) to petrochemical feedstocks and fine chemicals. Many strategies built on the activation of C≡O bond by π-back bonding from the transition metal center were developed during the past decades. Herein, a new CO activation method, in which the CO was converted to the active acyl-like metalloradical, [(por)Rh(CO)]? (por = porphyrin), was reported. The reactivity of [(por)Rh(CO)]? and other rhodium porphyrin compounds, such as (por)RhCHO and (por)RhC(O)NHnPr, and corresponding mechanism studies were conducted experimentally and computationally and inspired the design of a new conversion system featuring 100% atom economy that promotes carbonylation of amines to formamides using porphyrin rhodium(II) metalloradical. Following this radical based pathway, the carbonylations of a series of primary and secondary aliphatic amines were examined, and turnover numbers up to 224 were obtained.
Copper-catalyzed hydroboration of carbon dioxide
Shintani, Ryo,Nozaki, Kyoko
, p. 2459 - 2462 (2013)
A copper/N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed hydroboration of carbon dioxide has been developed to give a formic acid derivative selectively under mild conditions. Investigations directed toward understanding the catalytic cycle of this process have been carried out, and the hydroboration product can be directly used as a formylation reagent for various amines.

Potent and selective ferroptosis regulators promote an intensive understanding of the regulation and mechanisms underlying ferroptosis, which is highly associated with various diseases. In this study, through a stepwise structure optimization, a potent and selective ferroptosis inducer was developed targeting to inhibit glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these compounds was uncovered. Compound26aexhibited outstanding GPX4 inhibitory activity with a percent inhibition up to 71.7% at 1.0 μM compared to 45.9% of RSL-3. At the cellular level,26acould significantly induce lipid peroxide (LPO) increase and effectively induce ferroptosis with satisfactory selectivity (the value of 31.5). The morphological analysis confirmed the ferroptosis induced by26a. Furthermore,26asignificantly restrained tumor growth in a mouse 4T1 xenograft model without obvious toxicity.
Borane-Trimethylamine Complex as a Reducing Agent for Selective Methylation and Formylation of Amines with CO2

supporting information, p. 8282 - 8286 (2021/10/25)
We report herein that a borane-trimethylamine complex worked as an efficient reducing agent for the selective methylation and formylation of amines with 1 atm CO2 under metal-free conditions. 6-Amino-2-picoline serves as a highly efficient catalyst for the methylation of various secondary amines, whereas in its absence, the formylation of primary and secondary amines was achieved in high yield with high chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the 6-amino-2-picoline-borane catalytic system operates like an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair to activate CO2.
Metabolic Fate of the Isocyanide Moiety: Are Isocyanides Pharmacophore Groups Neglected by Medicinal Chemists?

Despite the isolation of hundreds of bioactive isocyanides from terrestrial fungi and bacteria as well as marine organisms, the isocyanide functionality has so far received little attention from a medicinal chemistry standpoint. The widespread tenet that isocyanides are chemically and metabolically unstable has restricted bioactivity studies to their antifouling properties and technical applications. In order to confirm or refute this idea, the hepatic metabolism of six model isocyanides was investigated. Aromatic and primary isocyanides turned out to be unstable and metabolically labile, but secondary and tertiary isocyanides resisted metabolization, showing, in some cases, cytochrome P450 inhibitory properties. The potential therefore exists for the secondary and tertiary isocyanides to qualify them as pharmacophore groups, in particular as war-heads for metalloenzyme inhibition because of their potent metal-coordinating properties.
