They possess unique characteristics such as three-dimensional aromaticity, icosahedral geometry, and robustness. Functionalized carboranes have been utilized in various fields including medicine, materials, and organometallic/coordination chemistry. In this context, selective functionalization of o-carboranes has received tremendous attention, specifically in the regio- and enantio-selective modification of the ten chemically similar BH vertices within the carborane cage. In recent years, significant progress has been made in catalytic vertex-specific BH functionalization, as well as achieving enantioselective functionalization of the cage BH. This review provides an overview of the recent advancements in this research field.","PeriodicalId":501298,"journal":{"name":"Synthesis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141360333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacterial carbohydrates have been widely used in the development of bacterial vaccines. Here, a rare L-GalpNAmA-containing disaccharide exists in V. vulnificus biotype 2 serovar A O-antigen was synthesized from D-glucose and L-galactose. An investigation on the influence of different linkers on the disaccharide synthetic efficiency indicated that the amine linker has more practicality. Two α-glycosidic linkages were constructed with good stereoselectivity by using nonparticipating C2 azido group and solvent effect. An orthogonal protection strategy allowed introductions of carboxyl and acetamidino (Am) groups at the disaccharide stage.

The other tandem rearrangement proceeds through [5,5]-rearrangement of phenyl sulfoxides with allyl nitriles and the subsequent nuclephilic addition/DDQ-oxidation induced [3,3]-Cope rearrangement, which eventually achieves meta-functionalized phenyl sulfides as products.","PeriodicalId":501298,"journal":{"name":"Synthesis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141384305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
