A simple and convenient method for synthesis of artemisinin dimer through aliphatic nitro compounds

A simple way of synthesis of artemisinin dimer using nitro aliphatic compounds is reported. Herein, few artemisinin monomers and dimers have been synthesized with the help of linker nitroalkanes using iron catalyst supported on polymer (Fe/SBA-15). The synthesized artemisinin shows good anticancer and antimalarial activities.

Bioinspired Nitroalkylation for Selective Protein Modification and Peptide Stapling

Nitroalkanes react specifically with aldehydes, providing rapid, stable, and chemoselective protein bioconjugation. These nitroalkylated proteins mimic key post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins and can be used to understand the role of these
