Synthesis of a thiophene-fused isoindigo derivative: A potential building block for organic semiconductors
Zhao, Na,Qiu, Li,Wang, Xiao,An, Zengjian,Wan, Xiaobo
, p. 1040 - 1044 (2014)
Thiophene-fused isoindigo (TII) was synthesized from thieno[2,3-f]indol- 6(7H)-one in a one-pot reaction, in which the alkylation, oxidation and condensation were finished in one step. It exhibits better intramolecular charge transfer properties and higher reductive potential compared with isoindigo(II), as evidenced by its optical and electrochemical properties, which shows that it might be used as a building block for n-type or ambipolar OFET materials.

The preparations of 1-azatripycene (1) and its 9-chloro, 9-deutero, and 1-oxide derivatives are reported. The basicity of 1 is compared to model compounds.
Improving the stability and catalyst lifetime of the halogenase RebH by directed evolution
Poor, Catherine B.,Andorfer, Mary C.,Lewis, Jared C.

We previously reported that the halogenase RebH catalyzes selective halogenation of several heterocycles and carbocycles, but product yields were limited by enzyme instability. Here, we use directed evolution to engineer an RebH variant, 3-LR, with a Topt over 5-°C higher than that of wild-type, and 3-LSR, with a Tm 18-°C higher than that of wild-type. These enzymes provided significantly improved conversion (up to fourfold) for halogenation of tryptophan and several non-natural substrates. This initial evolution of RebH not only provides improved enzymes for immediate synthetic applications, but also establishes a robust protocol for further halogenase evolution. Evolving halos: We have used directed evolution to engineer an RebH halogenase variant with a Topt more than 5-°C higher than that of wild-type RebH, and a second variant with a Tm 18-°C higher. These enzymes provided significantly improved conversion for halogenation of tryptophan and several non-natural substrates.
Regioselective arene halogenation using the FAD-dependent halogenase RebH
Payne, James T.,Andorfer, Mary C.,Lewis, Jared C.
supporting information, p. 5271 - 5274 (2013/06/26)
Together we're strong: Co-expression of the halogenase RebH with GroEL/ES and fusion of the flavin reductase RebF to MBP enabled production of both enzymes on scales sufficient for preparative regioselective oxidative halogenation of arenes. The activity and selectivity of RebH contrasts with those reported for the structurally homologous halogenase PrnA, which only enabled halogenation of nonnatural substrates at their most electronically activated positions.
