High‐Fidelity End‐Functionalization of Poly(ethylene glycol) Using Stable and Potent Carbamate Linkages

It is an open “secret” that commercial PEG‐amine is of unreliable quality, for which we ascribe to both flawed manufacturing protocols and storage stability issues. In addition, conventional PEG functionalization relies on esterification and etherification steps, suffering from incomplete conversion, harsh reaction condition, and functional group incompatibility. To solve these practical challenges, we propose an efficient strategy for PEG functionalization through carbamate linkages. By finely tuning...

Borane‐Catalyzed Chemoselective and Enantioselective Reduction of 2‐Vinyl‐Substituted Pyridines

Herein, we report that highly chemoselective and enantioselective reduction of 2‐vinyl‐substituted pyridines has been achieved for the first time. The reaction, which uses chiral spiro‐bicyclic bisboranes as catalysts and HBpin and an acidic amide as reducing reagents, proceeds via a cascade process involving 1,4‐hydroboration followed by transfer hydrogenation of a dihydropyridine intermediate. The retained double bond in the reduction products permits their conversion to natural products and other...

Induced Fitting and Polarization of a Bromine Molecule in an Electrophilic Inorganic Molecular Cavity and Its Bromination Reactivity

Bromine in a bottle : To accept the insertion of Br2, the bowl‐type structure of dodecavanadate was rearranged. Owing to the unique electrophilic feature of the bowl inside, Br2 was polarized such that it could be observed by IR spectroscopy. Polarized Br2 in a dodecavanadate bowl acted as an electrophilic reagent to achieve selective bromination of propane, n‐butane, or n‐pentane. Abstract Dodecavanadate, [V12O32]4− (V12), possesses a 4.4 Å cavity entrance, and the cavity shows unique...
