Dynamic bonds continually form and dissociate at equilibrium. Carbonyl compounds with proximal boronic acids, including 2-formylphenylboronic acid (2-FPBA), have been reported to form highly dynamic covalent hydrazone and oxime bonds in physiological conditions, but strategies to tune the dynamics have not yet been reported. Here, we characterize the dynamics of 2-FPBA-derived hydrazones and oximes and account for both the rapid rate of formation (~102-103M?1s?1) and the relatively fast rate of hydrolysis (~10?4s?1) at physiological pH. We further show that these substrates undergo exchange with α-nucleophiles, which can be reversibly paused and restarted with pH control. Finally, we show that oxidation of the arylboronic acid effectively abolishes the rapid dynamics, which slows the forward reaction by more than 30?000 times and increases the hydrolytic half-life from 50 minutes to 6 months at physiological pH. These results set the stage to explore these linkages in dynamic combinatorial libraries, reversible bioconjugation, and self-healing materials.

A sustainable catalyst- and solvent-free Passerini-tetrazole three component reaction (PT-3CR) has been developed for the selective synthesis of benzoxaborol-tetrazoles for the first time. The synthetic potential of oxaboroles was demonstrated towards various functionalized tetrazoles, which are otherwise difficult to achieve through conventional PT-3CR from aromatic aldehydes/ketones. The reaction features high practicality, broad substrate scope and excellent yields (80-98%). Preliminary results of the asymmetric PT-3CR are also shown for the synthesis of chiral benzoxaboroles.

The production of β-lactamases represents the main cause of resistance to clinically important β-lactam antibiotics. Boron containing compounds have been demonstrated as promising broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitors to combat β-lactam resistance. Here we report a series of 3-aryl substituted benzoxaborole derivatives, which manifested broad-spectrum inhibition to representative serine-β-lactamases (SBLs) and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). The most potent inhibitor 9f displayed an IC50 value of 86 nM to KPC-2 SBL and micromolar inhibitory activity towards other tested enzymes. Cell-based assays further revealed that 9f was able to significantly reduce the MICs of meropenem in clinically isolated KPC-2-producing bacterial strains and it showed no apparent toxicity in HEK293T cells.
