We prepared the small pseudopeptide Lau-l-Dopa(OBn)2-d-Oxd-OBn (Lau = lauric acid; l-Dopa = l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; d-Oxd = (4R,5S)-4-methyl-5-carboxyl-oxazolidin-2-one; Bn = benzyl) through a number of coupling reactions between lauric acid, protected l-Dopa and d-Oxd with an excellent overall yield. The ability of the product to form supramolecular organogels has been tested with different organic solvents of increasing polarity and compared with the results obtained with the small pseudopeptide Fmoc-l-Dopa(OBn)2-d-Oxd-OBn. The mechanical and rheological properties of the organogels demonstrated solvent-dependent properties, with a storage modulus of 82 kPa for the ethanol organogel. Finally, to have a preliminary test of the organogels’ ability to adsorb pollutants, we treated a sample of the ethanol organogel with an aqueous solution of Rhodamine B (RhB) for 24 h. The water solution slowly lost its pink color, which became trapped in the organogel.

Lissodendrin B is a 2-aminoimidazole alkaloid bearing a (p-hydroxyphenyl) glyoxal moiety that was isolated from the Indonesian sponge Lissodendoryx (Acanthodoryx) fibrosa. We reported the first efficient total synthesis of Lissodendrin B. The precursor 4,5-disubstituted imidazole was obtained through Suzuki coupling and Sonogashira coupling reactions from 4-iodoimidazole. C2-azidation and reduction of the azide then provided the core structures of Lissodendrin B. Subsequent triple-bond oxidation, demethylation, and deacetylation gave the final product. The synthesis approach consists of ten steps with an overall yield of 1.1% under mild reaction conditions, and it can be applied for future analog synthesis and biological studies.

Two new palladium complexes with pyrazole derived ligands 2a–2b have been easily prepared and well characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR spectra. Their detailed structures are determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2a. The two compounds were successfully applied to the Suzuki coupling reactions of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid, in aqueous solution at room temperature under air, giving the desired coupled products in good to excellent yields with catalyst loadings as low as 0.01–0.05 mol-%.

A series of BN-phenanthrenes with substituents of a diverse nature have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of a common chloro-substituted precursor, which was made from readily available materials in only four steps. Evaluation of the photophysical properties of the prepared compounds unveiled an impressive effect of the presence of alkynyl substituents on the fluorescence quantum yield, which improved from 0.01 in the parent compound to up to 0.65 in derivatives containing a triple bond.

Reaction of 2-formylphenylboronic acid with an aromatic hydrazine does not product the expected hydrazone, but rather a boron-containing aromatic heterocycle. The characteristics of the reaction are highly desirable for bioconjugations.
