    A stereoselective hydroxyallylation reaction of cyclopropenes with cyclopropanols is achieved under zinc‐mediated conditions, affording densely functionalized cyclopropanes with excellent diastereocontrol over three contiguous stereocenters within and outside the cyclopropane ring. A racemic variant of the reaction is synergistically promoted by catalytic N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and organic base, whereas chiral amino alcohol‐derived bifunctional NHC enables a catalytic enantioselective variant. The reaction likely involves the generation of enolized zinc homoenolate via ring‐opening of zinc cyclopropoxide and enolization of the resulting homoenolate, followed by its addition to the cyclopropene as a prochiral allylzinc nucleophile. Our mechanistic investigations highlighted the transient nature of enolized homoenolate, which, once generated from thermodynamically predominant cyclopropoxide, immediately proceeds to allylzincation with cyclopropene. The NHC not only promotes the rate‐determining generation of enolized homoenolate but also engages in the allylzincation process. The resulting cyclopropylzinc species undergoes partial in situ protonation while partially remaining intact, thereby leaving an opportunity for trapping with an external electrophile.

    Abstract We report here on the facile synthesis of amino‐ and alkoxy‐λ3‐iodanes supported by a benziodoxole (BX) template and their use as arynophiles. The amino‐ and alkoxy‐BX derivatives can be readily synthesized by reacting the respective amines or alcohols with chlorobenziodoxole in the presence of a suitable base. Unlike previously known nitrogen‐ and oxygen‐bound iodane compounds, which have primarily been employed as electrophilic group transfer agents or oxidants, the present amino‐ and alkoxy‐BX reagents manifest themselves as nucleophilic amino and alkoxy transfer agents toward arynes. This reactivity leads to the aryne insertion into the N−I(III) or O−I(III) bond to afford ortho‐amino‐ and ortho‐alkoxy‐arylbenziodoxoles, iodane compounds nontrivial to procure by existing methods. The BX group in these insertion products exhibits excellent leaving group ability, enabling diverse downstream transformations.

    Abstract Site‐specific introduction of multiple components into peptides is greatly needed for the preparation of densely functionalized and structurally uniform peptides. In this regard, N‐terminal‐specific peptide modification is attractive, but it can be difficult due to the presence of highly nucleophilic lysine ϵ‐amine. In this work, we developed a method for the N‐terminal‐specific dual modification of peptides through a three‐component [3+2] cycloaddition with aldehydes and maleimides under mild copper catalysis. This approach enables exclusive functionalization at the glycine N‐terminus of iminopeptides, regardless of the presence of lysine ϵ‐amine, thus affording the cycloadducts in excellent yields. Tolerating a broad range of functional groups and molecules, the present method provides the opportunity to rapidly construct doubly functionalized peptides using readily accessible aldehyde and maleimide modules.

    Abstract The stereodivergent asymmetric synthesis of 2,5‐trans/cis pyrrolidines by 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition using two different types of activated alkenes is described. When ylidene‐isoxazolones were employed as dipolarophiles, the Ag/(S,Sp)‐iPr‐FcPHOX‐catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition of imino lactones proceeded with 2,5‐trans selectivity. Subsequent decarboxylation of the isoxazolone rings produced pyrrolidines with 2,5‐trans stereoretention. In the reaction using acyclic enones as activated alkenes, the Ag/(R,Sp)‐ThioClickFerrophos complex‐catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition afforded 2,5‐cis substituted pyrrolidines in high yields and enantioselectivities. Therefore, these methods can be considered as a formal stereodivergent synthesis of 2,5‐cis/trans pyrrolidines.

    Organic iodine(III) compounds represent the most widely used hypervalent halogen compounds in organic synthesis, where they usually perform the role of an oxidant or electrophile to functionalize electron-rich or nucleophilic organic compounds. In contrast to this typical reaction mode and the nature of organohalogen compounds in general, we discovered a novel reactivity of organoiodine(III) compounds that behave as organometallic-like nucleophiles toward arynes. Possessing diverse transferable ligands and being supported by a cyclic spectator ligand, the organoiodine(III) compounds undergo addition across the electrophilic C–C triple bond of arynes while retaining the trivalency of the iodine center. This carboiodanation reaction can forge a variety of aryl–alkynyl, aryl–alkenyl, and aryl–(hetero)aryl bonds along with the concurrent formation of an aryl–iodine(III) bond under mild conditions. The newly formed aryl–iodine(III) bond serves as a versatile linchpin for downstream transformations, particularly as an electrophilic reaction site. The amphoteric nature of the iodine(III) group as a metalloid and a leaving group in this synthetic sequence enables the flexible and expedient synthesis of extended π-conjugated molecules and privileged biarylphosphine ligands, where all the iodine(III)-containing compounds can be handled as air- and thermally stable materials.

    Abstract Synthetic methods for unsymmetrical disulfides are greatly needed owing to their applications in drug discovery, linker chemistry, and materials sciences. In this study, a new shelf‐stable and easy‐to‐prepare bilateral disulfurating platform molecule,N‐(morpholine‐4‐dithio)phthalimide, has been developed for the divergent synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides. The amino and imide leaving groups of this reagent can be orthogonally transformed. Under acidic conditions, the amino moiety undergoes selective protonation and thus can be displaced by various carbon nucleophiles, such as allyl trimethylsilanes, alkynyl silanes, and electron‐rich arenes, leaving the phthalimide moiety untouched. Meanwhile, the phthalimide leaving group is amenable to substitution under basic or neutral conditions. The combination of these transformations provides rapid access to diverse unsymmetrical disulfides through two C−S bond‐forming reactions.

    Peptide modification is an important method for drug conjugation, bioimaging, and material development. However, site selective modification of peptides is still challenging owing to the existence of several reaction sites and interactions. Recently, N-terminal modification of peptides has attracted increasing attention as a site selective modification, because there is only one N-terminal residue in a peptide. In addition, N-terminal positions are accessible for chemical modification, and disruption of peptide conformation is minimal. Despite their utility, the present N-terminal modification causes some problems, such as equilibrium dissociation. In this study, we developed an N-terminal modification of peptides by applying metal-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, leading to a strong C-C bond. The reaction proceeded efficiently to achieve excellent diastereoselectivity to afford the corresponding pyrrolidine derivatives.

    多数の硫黄原子が連なった特異な構造を有するポリスルフィド類は,タンパク質の構造変化などの生体現象の解明や,生命科学分野や食品科学分野での多彩な応用が期待される化合物群であるが,これらを「S数」を制御しながら精密に合成することは困難であった.これに対して本研究課題では,硫黄原子上の反応点を見分ける新手法を開発することで,ポリスルフィド類の自在な構造展開を可能とし,生命科学分野での応用研究に貢献することを目指す.
