Abstract
In organic synthesis, incorporating two functional groups into the carbon-carbon double bond of α,β-unsaturated amides is challenging due to the electron-deficient nature of the olefin moiety. Although a few examples of dihydroxylation of α,β-unsaturated amides have been demonstrated, producing cis-1,2-diols using either highly toxic OsO4 or other specialized metal reagents in organic solvents, they are limited to several specific amides. We describe herein a general and one-pot direct synthesis of trans-1,2-diols from electron-deficient α,β-unsaturated amides through dihydroxylation using oxone as a dual-role reagent in water. This reaction does not require any metal catalyst and produces non-hazardous and nontoxic K2 SO4 as the sole byproduct. Moreover, epoxidation products could also be selectively formed by adjusting the reaction conditions. By the strategy, the intermediates of Mcl-1 inhibitor and antiallergic bioactive molecule can be synthesized in one pot. The gram-scale synthesis of trans-1,2-diol which is isolated and purified by recrystallization further shows the potential applications of this new reaction in organic synthesis.

Abstract
An organocatalyst-mediated protein aldol ligation (OPAL) affords C–C linked bioconjugates at neutral pH.
The bioconjugation of proteins with small molecules has proved an invaluable strategy for probing and perturbing biological mechanisms. The general use of chemical methods for protein functionalisation can be limited however by the requirement for complicated reaction partners to be present in large excess, and harsh conditions which are incompatible with many protein scaffolds. Herein we describe a site-selective organocatalyst-mediated protein aldol ligation (OPAL) that affords stable carbon–carbon linked bioconjugates at neutral pH. OPAL enables rapid modification of proteins using simple aldehyde probes in minimal excess, and is utilised here in the affinity tagging of proteins in cell lysate. Furthermore we demonstrate that the β-hydroxy aldehyde OPAL product can be functionalised again at neutral pH in a tandem organocatalyst-mediated oxime ligation. This tandem strategy is showcased in the ‘chemical mimicry’ of a previously inaccessible natural dual post-translationally modified protein integral to the pathogenesis of the neglected tropical disease Leishmaniasis.

Abstract
![]()
The Michael addition
of nitromethane to cinnamaldehyde has been
computationally studied in the absence of a catalyst and the presence
of a biotinylated secondary amine by a combined computational and
experimental approach. The calculations were performed at the density
functional theory (DFT) level with the M06-2X hybrid functional, and
a polarizable continuum model has been employed to mimic the effect
of two different solvents: dichloromethane (DCM) and water. Contrary
to common assumption, the product-derived iminium intermediate was
absent in both of the solvents tested. Instead, hydrating the C1–C2
double bond in the enamine intermediate directly yields the tetrahedral
intermediate, which is key for forming the product and regenerating
the catalyst. Enamine hydration is concerted and found to be rate-limiting
in DCM but segregated into two non-rate-limiting steps when the solvent
is replaced with water. However, further analysis revealed that the
use of water as solvent also raises the energy barriers for other
chemical steps, particularly the critical step of C–C bond
formation between the iminium intermediate and nucleophile; this consequently
lowers both the reaction yield and enantioselectivity of this LUMO-lowering
reaction, as experimentally detected. These findings provide a logical
explanation to why water often enhances organocatalysis when used
as an additive but hampers the reaction progress when employed as
a solvent.

Abstract
An efficient route for the synthesis of all four diastereomers of PMP-protected α-amino-γ-butyrolacton to access γ-hydroxynorvaline was established. The asymmetric key steps comprise an organocatalytic Mannich reaction and an enzymatic ketone reduction. Three reaction steps could be integrated in a one-pot process, using 2-PrOH both as solvent and as reducing agent. The sequential construction of stereogenic centres gave access to each of the four stereoisomers in high yield and with excellent stereocontrol.
