A novel one-pot iridium-catalyzed domino hydroxymethylation of olefins, which relies on using two different ligands at the same time, is reported. DFT computation reveals different activities for the individual hydroformylation and hydrogenation steps in the presence of mono- and bidentate ligands. Whereas bidentate ligands have higher hydrogenation activity, monodentate ligands show higher hydroformylation activity. Accordingly, a catalyst system is introduced that uses dual ligands in the whole domino process. Control experiments show that the overall selectivity is kinetically controlled. Both computation and experiment explain the function of the two optimized ligands during the domino process.

This work reports the development of highly potent and selective inhibitors of the β5c catalytic activity of human constitutive proteasomes. The work describes the design principles, large hydrophobic P3 residue and small hydrophobic P1 residue, that led to the synthesis of a panel of peptide epoxyketones; their evaluation and the selection of the most promising compounds for further analyses. Structure-activity relationships detail how in a logical order the β1c/i, β2c/i, and β5i activities became resistant to inhibition as compounds were diversified stepwise. The most effective compounds were obtained as a mixture of cis- and trans-biscyclohexyl isomers, and enantioselective synthesis resolved this issue. Studies on yeast proteasome structures complexed with some of the compounds provide a rationale for the potency and specificity. Substitution of the N-terminus in the most potent compound for a more soluble equivalent led to a cell-permeable molecule that selectively and efficiently blocks β5c in cells expressing both constitutive proteasomes and immunoproteasomes.

In light of the growing scarcity of petroleum-based raw materials, carbon dioxide (CO2) is becoming increasing attractive as organic carbon source. In this perspective, formic acid (HCOOH) might be an interesting bio-renewable solution to store, transport, and activate carbon dioxide for the synthesis of value-added chemicals. Herein, HCOOH has been successfully used as C1 building block for the synthesis of a library of alcohols via a catalysed oxo-synthesis, under green experimental conditions. Copyright
