Post-translational modifications (PTMs) enhance the repertoire of protein function and mediate or influence the activity of many cellular processes. The preparation of site-specifically and homogeneously modified proteins, to apply as tools to understand the biological role of PTMs, is a challenging task. Herein, we describe a visible-light-mediated desulfurative C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond forming reaction that enables the site-selective installation of N?-modified sidechains into peptides and proteins of interest. Rapid, operationally simple, and tolerant to ambient atmosphere, we demonstrate the installation of a range of lysine (Lys) PTMs into model peptide systems and showcase the potential of this technology by site-selectively installing an N?Ac sidechain into recombinantly expressed ubiquitin (Ub).
Micellar Catalysis for Sustainable Hydroformylation
Calamante, Massimo,Dei, Filippo,Maramai, Samuele,Migliorini, Francesca,Petricci, Elena

It is here reported a fully sustainable and generally applicable protocol for the regioselective hydroformylation of terminal alkenes, using cheap commercially available catalysts and ligands, in mild reaction conditions (70 °C, 9 bar, 40 min). The process can take advantages from both micellar catalysis and microwave irradiation to obtain the linear aldehydes as the major or sole regioisomers in good to high yields. The substrate scope is largely explored as well as the application of hydroformylation in tandem with intramolecular hemiacetalization thus demonstrating the compatibility with a broad variety of functional groups. The reaction is efficient even in large scale and the catalyst and micellar water phase can be reused at least 5 times without any impact in reaction yields. The efficiency and sustainability of this protocol is strictly related to the in situ transformation of the aldehyde into the corresponding Bertagnini's salt that precipitates in the reaction mixture avoiding organic solvent mediated purification steps to obtain the final aldehydes as pure compounds.
A Next-Generation Air-Stable Palladium(I) Dimer Enables Olefin Migration and Selective C?C Coupling in Air

We report a new air-stable PdI dimer, [Pd(μ-I)(PCy2tBu)]2, which triggers E-selective olefin migration to enamides and styrene derivatives in the presence of multiple functional groups and with complete tolerance of air. The same dimer also triggers extremely rapid C?C coupling (alkylation and arylation) at room temperature in a modular and triply selective fashion of aromatic C?Br, C?OTf/OFs, and C?Cl bonds in poly(pseudo)halogenated arenes, displaying superior activity over previous PdI dimer generations for substrates that bear substituents ortho to C?OTf.

We have discovered that 2,2-diazido acylacetates, a class of compounds with essentially unknown reactivity, can be coupled to amines through a new strategy that does not involve any reagents. 2,2-Diazido acetate is the unconventional leaving group under carbon–carbon bond cleavage. This reaction leads to the construction of amide bonds, tolerates various functionalities and is performed equally well in numerous solvents under experimentally simple conditions. We also demonstrate that the isolation of the 2,2-diazido acylacetate compounds can be circumvented: Acylacetates were easily fragmented when treated with (Bu4N)N3 and iodine in the presence of an amine at room temperature. By using this method, a broad range of acylacetates with various structural motifs were directly transformed into amides.
Transition metal-free intermolecular a-C-H amination of ethers at room temperature
Buslov, Ivan,Hu, Xile
supporting information, p. 3325 - 3330 (2015/02/02)
We describe a new method for the intermolecular amination of the α-C-H bonds of ethers. A hypervalent iodine reagent was used as oxidant to enable the amination of cyclic and acyclic alkyl ethers with a wide range of amides, imides, and amines. The amination occurred at room temperature and without a transition metal catalyst. The method could be used to synthesize the anti-cancer prodrug Tegafur and its analogues.
Iodine(III)-promoted synthesis of oxazolines from N-allylamides
Moon, Nicholas G.,Harned, Andrew M.
supporting information, p. 2960 - 2963 (2013/06/27)
PhI(OAc)2 (activated by BF3·OEt2) has been used to promote the oxidative cyclization of N-allylamides to give oxazolines. The reaction products are formed in high yield and, when a branched allylic amine is used, high diastereoselectivity. Initial mechanistic experiments suggest that the final C-O bond is formed from a reactive tight ion pair, rather than a neutral external nucleophile.
SYNTHESIS OF HYDROXYALKYL AMIDES FROM ESTERS
-
Page/Page column 3, (2012/11/08)
Hydroxyamides are synthesized from esters. A process of making hydroxyalkyl amides comprises: reacting an ester with a hydroxyalkyl amine having the formula H2N—R3—OH wherein R3 is a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C5 alkyl, in the presence of a catalyst in an anhydrous solution to form the hydroxyalkyl amides. Monomers suitable for formation of polymeric articles can utilize these hydroxyamides.
Substrate-directable heck reactions with arenediazonium salts. The regio- and stereoselective arylation of allylamine derivatives and applications in the synthesis of naftifine and abamines
Prediger, Patricia,Barbosa, Lais Ferreira,Genisson, Yves,Correia, Carlos Roque Duarte
experimental part, p. 7737 - 7749 (2011/12/01)
The palladium-catalyzed, substrate-directable Heck-Matsuda reaction of allylamine derivatives with arenediazonium salts is reported. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, with excellent regio- and stereochemical control as a function of coordinating groups present in the allylamine substrate. The distance between the olefin moiety and the car-bonylic system seems to play a key role regarding the regiocontrol. The method presents itself as robust, as simple to carry out, and with wide synthetic scope concerning the allylic substrates and the type of arenediazonium employed. The synthetic potential of the method is illustrated by the short total syntheses of the bioactive compounds naftifine, abamine, and abamine SG.

Olefin metathesis has recently emerged as a viable reaction for chemical protein modification. The scope and limitations of olefin metathesis in bioconjugation, however, remain unclear. Herein we report an assessment of various factors that contribute to productive cross-metathesis on protein substrates. Sterics, substrate scope, and linker selection are all considered. It was discovered during this investigation that allyl chalcogenides generally enhance the rate of alkene metathesis reactions. Allyl selenides were found to be exceptionally reactive olefin metathesis substrates, enabling a broad range of protein modifications not previously possible. The principles considered in this report are important not only for expanding the repertoire of bioconjugation but also for the application of olefin metathesis in general synthetic endeavors.
