As a Group IVB transition metal Lewis acid, hafnium triflate [Hf(OTf) 4 ] exhibited exceptionally high potency in desilylations. Since the amounts of Hf(OTf) 4 required for the deprotection of 1°, 2°, 3° alkyl and aryl tert -butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ethers are significantly different, ranging from 0.05 mol% to 3 mol%, regioselective deprotection of TBS could be easily implemented. Moreover, chemoselective cleavage of different silyl ethers or removal of TBS in the presence of most hydroxyl protecting groups was also accomplished. NMR analyses of silyl products from TBS deprotection indicated that Hf(OTf) 4 -catalyzed desilylation may proceed via different mechanisms, depending on the solvent used.

Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) is a rapidly growing species of multidrug-resistant nontuberculous mycobacteria that has emerged as a growing threat to individuals with cystic fibrosis and other pre-existing chronic lung diseases. Mab pulmonary infections are difficult, or sometimes impossible, to treat and result in accelerated lung function decline and premature death. There is therefore an urgent need to develop novel antibiotics with improved efficacy. tRNA (m1G37) methyltransferase (TrmD) is a promising target for novel antibiotics. It is essential in Mab and other mycobacteria, improving reading frame maintenance on the ribosome to prevent frameshift errors. In this work, a fragment-based approach was employed with the merging of two fragments bound to the active site, followed by structure-guided elaboration to design potent nanomolar inhibitors against Mab TrmD. Several of these compounds exhibit promising activity against mycobacterial species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae in addition to Mab, supporting the use of TrmD as a target for the development of antimycobacterial compounds.

The manganese-containing catalytic system [MnIV,IV 2O3(tmtacn)2]2+ (1)/carboxylic acid (where tmtacn=N,N′,N′′-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane), initially identified for the cis-dihydroxylation and epoxidation of alkenes, is applied for a wide range of oxidative transformations, including oxidation of alkanes, alcohols and aldehydes employing H2O2 as oxidant. The substrate classes examined include primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic alcohols, aldehydes, and alkenes. The emphasis is not primarily on identifying optimum conditions for each individual substrate, but understanding the various factors that affect the reactivity of the Mn-tmtacn catalytic system and to explore which functional groups are oxidised preferentially. This catalytic system, of which the reactivity can be tuned by variation of the carboxylato ligands of the in situ formed [MnIII,III 2(O)(RCO2)2(tmtacn)2]2+ dimers, employs H2O2 in a highly atom efficient manner. In addition, several substrates containing more than one oxidation sensitive group could be oxidised selectively, in certain cases even in the absence of protecting groups. Copyright
