Unlocking Chemical Space: Electrochemically Driven Synthesis of Glycosyl Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane Frameworks

Image source: J. Am. Chem. Soc.Introduction: In the past decade, [1.1.1]propellane derivatives (BCPs) have provided a unique three-dimensional spatial structure for drug chemistry as superior bioelectronic scaffolds. Meanwhile, glycosyl derivatives play a crucial role in chemical biology and drug discovery due to their widespread presence in bioactive molecules. However, the potential of [1.1.1]propellane as a … Read more

Photoinduced Decarboxylative Allylation: Dual Atom Substitution for sp3 Fragment Skeleton Editing

Image source: J. Am. Chem. Soc.Introduction:Professor Ruben Martin reported a photoinduced palladium-catalyzed interceptive decarboxylative allylation reaction. This strategy innovatively achieves atom pair exchange and a series of skeletal contraction and extension reactions, providing a non-traditional retrosynthetic approach for complex molecule construction, while offering a modular and versatile synthetic tool for rapidly and efficiently obtaining sp3 … Read more
