Dicobalt hexacarbonyl nucleoside complexes of propargyl ether or esters of 5-substituted uridines react with diverse C-nucleophiles. Synthetic outcomes confirmed that the Nicholas reaction can be carried out in a nucleoside presence, leading to a divergent synthesis of novel metallo-nucleosides enriched with alkene, arene, arylketo, and heterocyclic functions, in the deoxy and ribo series.

Peptide modifications via C–C bond formation have emerged as valuable tools for the preparation and alteration of non-proteinogenic amino acids and the corresponding peptides. Modification of glycine subunits in peptides allows for the incorporation of unusual side chains, often in a highly stereoselective manner, orchestrated by the chiral peptide backbone. Moreover, modifications of peptides are not limited to the peptidic backbone. Many side-chain modifications, not only by variation of existing functional groups, but also by C–H functionalization, have been developed over the past decade. This account highlights the synthetic contributions made by our group and others to the field of peptide modifications and their application in natural product syntheses.1 Introduction2 Peptide Backbone Modifications via Peptide Enolates2.1 Chelate Enolate Claisen Rearrangements2.2 Allylic Alkylations2.3 Miscellaneous Modifications3 Side-Chain Modifications3.1 C–H Activation3.1.1 Functionalization via Csp3–H Bond Activation3.2.2 Functionalization via Csp2–H Bond Activation3.2 On Peptide Tryptophan Syntheses4 Conclusion

: For several decades, biotransformational studies on steroidal compounds have gained a lot of attention because it is an efficient approach for the structural modification of complicated natural or synthetic compounds with high regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity at environmentally friendly conditions. This review summarizes the use of different strains of Cunninghamella blakesleeana for the biotransformation of sixteen steroids 1-16 into a variety of transformed products. The transformed products may be important as a drug or precursor for the production of important pharmaceuticals. The types of reactions performed by C. blakesleeana include hydroxylation, epoxidation, reduction, demethylation, oxidation, glycosidation, double bond formation, side-chain degradation, isomerisation and opening of an isoxazol ring, which would be difficult to produce by traditional synthesis.

A synthetic protocol to access O-tert-propargylic oximes derived from tertiary propargylic alcohols was established via Nicholas reaction. Thus, BF3·OEt2-mediated reaction between the dicobalt hexacarbonyl complex of tert-propargylic alcohols and p-nitrobenzaldoxime followed by decomplexation with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate afforded the corresponding O-tert-propargylic oximes in good to high yields. The obtained O-tert-propargylic oximes were effectively converted into heterocycles, such as four-membered cyclic nitrones, oxazepines, and isoxazolines, by using π-Lewis acidic catalysts.

The metabolism of cholic acid (I) by Streptomyces rubescens was investigated. This organism effected ring A cleavage, side-chain shortening and amide bond formation and gave the following metabolites: (4R)-4-[4α-(2-carboxyethyl)-3aα-hexahydro-7aβ-methyl-5-oxoindan-1 β-yl]valeric acid (IIa) and its mono-amide (valeramide) (IIb); and 2,3,4,6, 6aβ,7,8,9,9aα,9bβ-decahydro-6aβ-methyl-1H-cyclopenta[f]quinoline-3,7-dione(IIIe)and its homologues with the β-oriented side chains, valeric acid, valeramide, butanone and propionic acid, in the place of the oxo group at C-7, i.e.compounds (IIIa), (IIIb), (IIIc) and (IIId) respectively. All the nitrogenous metabolites were new compounds, and their structures were established by partial synthesis except for the metabolite (IIIc). The mechanism of formation of these metabolites is considered. A degradative pathway of cholic acid (I) into the metabolites is also tentatively proposed.

Abstract Various Pd–C complexes have been developed to date, affording deep insights into the reaction intermediates in useful catalytic reactions in organic syntheses. Cyclopalladation is one of the most famous Pd–C bond formation reactions to generate the palladacycles. Indole is an electron-rich aromatic ring involved in the side chain of an essential amino acid, tryptophan (Trp), and Trp and its derivatives are important in biological systems, such as electron transfer in protein, cofactors for conversion of biological molecules and so on. Pd catalysts are also useful for syntheses of such indole derivatives, and the mechanisms are considered to be through the Pd–C intermediates. However, the detailed properties and formation mechanisms of Pd–indole species are still unclear. With these points in mind, we focus on Pd(II)–indole-C2 carbon bond formations using various Pd(II) complexes having an indole moiety, especially on the recent studies on the kinetic analyses for these cyclopalladation reactions and their detailed mechanisms.
