Practical, scalable, and transition metal-free visible light-induced heteroarylation route to substituted oxindoles

Jadab Majhi et al.

Summary: The synthetic application of (hetero)aryl radicals has been limited due to ineffective generation protocols. This study presents a visible-light-induced transition metal-free method for generating (hetero)aryl radicals from readily available (hetero)aryl halides. The generated radicals are used for the synthesis of 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles, which can be easily converted to various intermediates applicable to target-directed synthesis.

Photoinduced Chemo-, Site- and Stereoselective α-C(sp3)-H Functionalization of Sulfides

Zhenda Tan et al.

Summary: This article reports a photoinduced chemo-, site- and stereoselective alpha-C(sp(3))-H functionalization of sulfides using isatins as the photoredox reagent and coupling partner catalyzed by a chiral gallium(III)-N,N '-dioxide complex. The reaction proceeds through a verified single-electron transfer (SET) mechanism with high efficiency, excellent functional group tolerance, as well as a broad substrate scope. Importantly, this cross-coupling protocol is highly selective for the direct late-stage functionalization of methionine-related peptides, regardless of the inherent structural similarity and complexity of diverse residues.

Electrochemical no-carrier-added radiofluorination of thioethers

Nathanael Allison et al.

Summary: We report a no-carrier-added radiofluorination method for thioethers, successfully producing over 100 MBq of F-18-fluorinated thioethers by electrochemical radiofluorination in the absence of non-radioactive fluorination agents. This unexpected achievement eliminates the need for high amounts of stable [F-19]fluoride, providing a new approach for radiolabeling thioethers.

A Vitamin B2-Photocatalysed Approach to Methionine Analogues

Oliver J. Knowles et al.

Summary: This study developed a new photochemical method for the synthesis of non-natural methionines from sulfides with alkenes in water, using inexpensive riboflavin as a photocatalyst. The method allows the two-step synthesis of novel methionine analogues and the selective modification of peptide side-chains to yield peptides with non-natural methionine residues.

Electrochemical Oxidation Enables Regioselective and Scalable α-C(sp3)-H Acyloxylation of Sulfides

Huamin Wang et al.

Summary: A highly selective, environmentally friendly, and scalable electrochemical protocol for constructing alpha-acyloxy sulfides has been developed, utilizing the synergistic effect of self-assembly-induced C(sp(3))-H/O-H cross-coupling. This protocol demonstrates broad substrate scope, high regioselectivity, gram-scale synthesis, construction of complex molecules, and applicability to various nucleophiles. The pivotal role of substrate self-assembly has been confirmed through soft X-ray absorption technique and control experiments, contributing to the excellent compatibility and precise regioselectivity control in the electrochemical protocol.
