Abstract:
The construction of fully decorated 1,2,3-triazole-fused 5-, 6- and 7-membered rings has been disclosed via a bimetallic relay-catalyzed cascade process combining azide-alkyne cycloaddition, C(sp2)-H functionalization of intermediary 1,2,3-triazoles and isocyanide insertion. The salient features of this methodology include simple starting materials, reduced synthetic steps, good substrate scope and high efficiency.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
