Diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes enabled by remote hydride transfer by Gandamana, Dhika Aditya, Gagosz, Fabien, Chiba, Shunsuke

“…The transformation is triggered by electrophilic alkylation of aryl alkenes with in-situ generated carbocations, that is followed by diastereoselective 1,5-hydride shift to the resulting benzylic carbocation through a rigid 6-membered ring chair-like transition state.…”

Thismia perlisensis (Thismiaceae), a new red-annulus Thismia species from Peninsular Malaysia by Besi, Edward Entalai, Mad Jabar, Qistina Anis, Abd Rahman, Syamil, Saad, Mohd Zulkifly, Ag Ahmadni, Ag Shaffie, Go, Rusea

“…The new species is easily distinguished from the similar species, T. arachnites, T. javanica, T. tentaculata, and T. kenyirensis by the prominent reddish dome-shaped annulus instead of ring-like with rim, deeply trilobed stigma with bifid and subulate lobes, and claviform apices of the inner tepals.…”

2H-azirines as potential bifunctional chemical linkers of cysteine residues in bioconjugate technology by Chen, Yang, Yang, Wenjie, Wu, Jiamin, Sun, Wangbin, Loh, Teck-Peng, Jiang, Yaojia

“…The cleavage of a C-N double bond of 2H-azirine furnishes an amino amide functional group in situ through a thiol addition and ring-opening process. It works with a broad scope of thiols and 2H-azirines in the absence of any catalysts at room temperature. …”

Synthesis of curvulone B and allahabadolactone, and the development of a diastereoselective Tsuji-Trost cyclisation by Wang, Kongchen

“…The first chapter describes the synthesis of curvulone B featuring a strategy of cross metathesis and oxa-Michael addition in the construction of the desired cis-THP ring. This strategy is one of the most effective tools in the synthesis of THP rings containing natural products. o-Chlorobenzyl ether was developed as a new protecting group for alcohols and proved to be a reliable protecting group under Lewis acidic condition. …”
