<i>N</i>‑Heterocyclic Carbene-Stabilized Palladium Complexes as Organometallic Catalysts for Bioorthogonal Cross-Coupling Reactions
A small
library of water-soluble <i>N</i>-heterocyclic
carbene (NHC)-stabilized palladium complexes was prepared and applied
for cross-couplings of biomolecules under mild conditions in water.
Pd–NHC complexes bearing hydrophilic groups were demonstrated
to be efficient catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of
various unnatural amino acids and proteins bearing <i>p</i>-iodophenyl functional groups. We further utilized this catalytic
system for the rapid bioorthogonal labeling of proteins on the surfaces
of mammalian cells. These results demonstrated that NHC-stabilized
metal complexes have potential utility in cellular systems
Rhodium-Catalyzed Transannulation of <i>N</i>‑Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and Epoxides: Regioselective Synthesis of Substituted 3,4-Dihydro‑2<i>H</i>‑1,4-oxazines
Rhodium-catalyzed transannulation
of 1,2,3-triazoles and ring-opening
reactions of epoxides is described. A number of 3,4-dihydro-2<i>H</i>-1,4-oxazines are obtained in moderate yields probably
