Abstract Chalcogen bonding interactions have attracted significant attention in a broad chemistry community, with particular focus on their ability to stabilise the key transition states various organic synthetic routes. In this work, we demonstrate that they can also be harnessed selective photoredox reactions, which cannot otherwise achieved alternative approaches photoreduction. We concept through photoreduction of sulfur‐containing DNA nucleoside precursor thioanhydrouridine 2’‐deoxy‐thiouridine, revealing previously unrecognized role bisulfide process. Based quantum chemical simulations, identify stable chalcogen‐bonding complex hydrosulfide anion and thionhydrouridine (HS − ⋅⋅⋅S contacts), enables directional photoinduced electron transfer, resulting formation non‐canonical nucleoside. disprove possibility thioanhydronucleosides could initiated by hydrated electrons generated from irradiated anions do not interact chromophore. Finally, show mediated chalcogen bonds only occur for chromophores, exhibit sufficiently long excited‐state lifetimes locally‐excited undergo productive charge transfer state. These findings further used design similar reactions employ potential interactions.

A highly enantioselective electrophilic selenylation/semipinacol rearrangement of allenols has been developed, which is enabled by the cooperative catalysis a chiral sulfide and an achiral sulfonic acid. The designed synthesized catalyst selenylating reagent play crucial role in enhancing both enantioselectivity reactivity. This approach exhibits excellent regio-, chemo-, enantioselectivity, providing access to diverse enantioenriched cyclopentanones featuring arylselenovinyl-substituted quaternary carbon stereocenter. Furthermore, these products can be transformed into synthetically valuable alkyne, vinyl bromide, aniline derivatives. Mechanistic studies reveal that combination acid not only facilitates formation catalytically active species, but also governs reaction. Meanwhile, density functional theory calculations disclose four hydrogen bond interactions π‧‧‧π interaction are responsible for observed enantioselectivity.

Harnessing unconventional noncovalent interactions (NCIs) is emerging as a formidable synthetic approach in difficult-to-access glycosidic chemical space. C-Glycosylation, particular, has gained flurry of recent attention. However, most reported methods are restricted to the relatively facile access α-C-glycosides. Herein, we disclose β-stereoselective glycosylation indoles by employing phosphonoselenide catalyst. The robustness this protocol exemplified its amenability for reaction at both indolyl C- and N- reactivity sites. In contrast previous reports, which chalcogens were solely involved Lewis acidic activation, our mechanistic investigation unraveled that often neglected flanking aromatic substituents phosphonoselenides can substantially contribute catalysis engaging π-interactions. Computations NMR spectroscopy indicated chalcogenic components catalyst be collectively exploited foster conformational distortion glycal away from usual half-chair boat conformation, liberates convex β-face nucleophilic attack.

Abstract The utility of unconventional noncovalent interactions (NCIs) such as chalcogen bonding has lately emerged a robust platform to access synthetically difficult glycosides stereoselectively. Herein, we disclose the versatility phosphonochalcogenide (PCH) catalyst facilitate into challenging, but biologically interesting 7‐membered ring α,α’‐ C ‐disubstituted oxepane core through an α‐selective strain‐release ‐glycosylation. Methodically, this strategy represents switch from more common entropically less desired macrocyclizations thermodynamically favored ring‐expansion approach. In light general lack stereoselective methods ‐septanosides, remarkable palette silyl‐based nucleophiles can be reliably employed in our method. This include broad variety useful synthons, easily available silyl‐allyl, silyl‐enol ether, silyl‐ketene acetal, vinylogous silyl‐alkyne and silylazide reagents. Mechanistic investigations suggest that mechanistic shift towards intramolecular aglycone transposition involving pentacoordinate silicon intermediate is likely responsible steering stereoselectivity.

While privileged scaffolds such as crown ethers, cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, calixarenes, metal-coordinated cages been widely used, skeletons usually do not contain directional binding site; activation mainly rely on cation-associated interactions or hydrophobic effects. In this context, recent anion drawn our developing recognition-directed approach by using tailor-made functionalized macrocycles cages.
