Abstract:
The photocatalytic carbofunctionalization of N-sulfinylamines offers an efficient route to diverse sulfinamides, yet the direct use of inexpensive boronic acids as radical precursors has been limited due to their high oxidation potentials. To address this, we developed a Lewis base-assisted strategy that generates a sp3-hybridized tetracoordinated boronate complex in situ with a markedly lowered redox potential. This approach enables a practical and atom-economical photocatalytic synthesis of sulfinamides directly from N-sulfinylamines and commercially available boronic acids.

A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...
01:15Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
