Amyloidogenic peptides are considered central pathological contributors towards neurodegeneration as observed in neurodegenerative disorders [e.g., amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in Alzheimer's disease (AD)]; however, their roles in the pathologies of such diseases have not been fully elucidated since they are challenging targets to be studied due to their heterogeneous nature and intrinsically disordered structure. Chemical approaches to modify amyloidogenic peptides would be valuable in advancing our molecular-level understanding of their involvement in neurodegeneration. Herein, we report effective chemical strategies for modification of Aβ peptides (i.e., coordination and coordination-/photo-mediated oxidation) implemented by a single Ir(iii) complex in a photo-dependent manner. Such peptide variations can be achieved by our rationally designed Ir(iii) complexes (Ir-Me, Ir-H, Ir-F, and Ir-F2) leading to significantly modulating the aggregation pathways of two main Aβ isoforms, Aβ40 and Aβ42, as well as the production of toxic Aβ species. Overall, we demonstrate chemical tactics for modification of amyloidogenic peptides in an effective and manageable manner utilizing the coordination capacities and photophysical properties of transition metal complexes.

Asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions with β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters are valuable because the resulting chiral ketoester compounds can be converted into various useful species that are often used as chiral building blocks in drug and natural product synthesis. However, β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters have two reactive points in terms of nucleophilic additions, which will lead to the 1,4-adduct, the 1,2-adduct and to the combined 1,4- and 1,2-adduct. Therefore, controlling this chemoselectivity is an important factor for the development of these transformations. Here, we developed an asymmetric 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters by using heterogeneous chiral rhodium nanoparticle systems with a chiral diene ligand bearing a secondary amide moiety. The newly developed polydimethylsilane-immobilized rhodium nanoparticle catalysts showed high activity, high chemoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity, and this is the first heterogeneous catalytic system for this asymmetric reaction. Metal nanoparticle catalysts were recovered and reused without loss of activity or leaching of metal. (Figure presented.).

In this study, we developed a simple transition-metal-free borylation reaction of aryl bromides. Bis-boronic acid (BBA), was used, and the borylation reaction was performed using a simple procedure at a mild temperature. Under mild conditions, aryl bromides were converted to arylboronic acids directly without any deprotection steps and purified by conversion to trifluoroborate salts. The functional group tolerance was considerably high. The mechanism study suggested that this borylation reaction proceeds via a radical pathway.
