Click chemistry promotes the use of organic reactions that allow the connection of two molecular building blocks in a facile, selective, high-yielding reaction under mild reaction conditions with few or no byproducts. Furthermore, this chemistry has the capacity to promote bioconjugation and peptide ligation, stemming from the properties of the triazole linkage as a peptide mimetic. The tremendous synthetic potential of initial protocols for Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between organic azides and alkynes was limited by the markable disadvantages like heat- ing requirement, prolonged reaction time and formation of struc- tural isomers due to the lack of selectivity. The wonderful Cu(I)- catalyzed modification introduced at the dawn of last decade, allowed the cycloaddition to occur at room temperature or with moderate heating leading to the exclusive formation of 1,4- disubstituted triazole with shortest workup and purification steps. In 2005, another analogous RuAAC was reported by Fokin group, which led to the selective formation of 1,5-disubstituted triazole.2 Therefore, these remarkable modifications turned azide- alkyne click method a practically quantitative, robust, insensitive Fig. 1.

Starting with a preliminary discussion on the mechanistic aspects, the report is categorized based on different dipolarophiles to couple with azide dipole leading to the formation of diverse 1,2,3-triazoles and re- lated systems. The azide-alkyne cycloaddition section is further sub-categorized based on the use of different copper catalysts (i.e., click chemistry) as well as non-copper catalysts. Additionally, a sub-section based upon the short discussion on photoclick chemistry under click methods on chemical biology has also been included.

To have a deep understanding of the reaction mechanisms, the structural characterizations of organocopper intermediates become indispensable. Meanwhile, the structure- function relationship of organocopper compounds would advance rational design and development of new Cu-based reactions and organocopper reagents. Compared to the mono- carbonic ligand, the C,N- and C,C-bidentate ligands better stabilize the unstable organocopper compounds. The bidentate ligands can chelate to the same copper atom via 휂2-mode, forming a mono-cupra-cyclic compounds with at least one acute C-Cu-C angle. When the bidentate ligands bind to two copper atoms via 휂1-mode at each coordinating site, the bimetallic macrocyclic compounds will form nearly linear C-Cu-C angles.

Received: 28 September 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 1 October 2020 Cross-coupling reactions stand among the most important reactions in chemistry [1,2]. Nowadays, they are a highly valuable synthetic tool used for the preparation of a wide variety of organic compounds, from natural and synthetic bioactive compounds to new organic materials, in all fields of chemistry [3]. Almost 50 years from its discovery, the research in this topic remains active, and important progresses are accomplished every year. For this reason, we believe that a Special Issue on this topic is of general interest for the chemistry community. Advances in cross-coupling reactions have been developed with the aim to expand the synthetic utility of the methodology, through the involvement of new components, reaction conditions, and therefore, novel synthetic applications [4]. Although initially the term “cross-coupling” referred to the reaction of an organometallic reagent with an unsaturated organic halide or pseudohalide under transition metal catalysis, currently the definition is much more general and applies to reactions involving other components, conditions, and more complex synthetic transformations. In addition to the well-known and recognized cross-coupling reactions using organoboron (Suzuki-Miyaura), organotin (Stille), organozinc (Negishi), or organosilicon (Hiyama) nucleophiles, reactions involving other organometallic reagents such as organoindium [5,6], organolithium [7], and Grignard reagents [8] are now useful synthetic alternatives.

Theory and simulation methods are an important complement to experimental approaches that are designed to develop a fundamental understanding about how dendrimers interact with guest molecules. This review focuses on computational studies aimed at providing a better understanding of the relevant physicochemical parameters at play in the binding and release mechanisms between polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and guest species. We highlight recent contributions that model supramolecular dendrimer-guest complexes over the temporal and spatial scales spanned by simulation methods ranging from all-atom molecular dynamics to statistical field theory. The role of solvent effects on dendrimer-guest interactions and the importance of relating model parameters across multiple scales is discussed. Keywords: multiscale modeling; dendrimer simulations; host-guest chemistry 1. Introduction Dendrimers have received increasing attention over the past several decades as attractive candidate materials for a variety of applications such as therapeutic delivery systems [1–5], imaging agents [4,6,7], templates for catalytic metal nanoparticles [8–10], and extraction agents for the removal of organic pollutants and toxic metals from water and soil [11–14].

    — Studies on Lithium Acetylide Kenneth N. Campbell and Barbara K. Campbell, The University of Notre Dame In contrast to the large amount of work done on the acetylene derivatives of sodium, potassium and calcium, little attention has been paid to the analogous compounds of lithium. In 1898 Moissani prepared lithium acetylide on a small scale, by the action of acetylene on a liquid ammonia solution of lithium. He reported that lithium acetylide was less soluble in liquid ammonia than sodium acetylide, and that when isolated from the solvent, it was less stable, undergoing decomposition with evolu- tion of acetylene. On the basis of the weight of lithium acetylide obtained from a given weight of lithium, and from the amount of acetylene liberated on hydrolysis, he assigned to lithium acetylide the formula C2Li2.C2H2.2NH3. Since that time no references to lithium acetylide or lithium alkylacetylides have appeared in the literature. It was the pur- pose of the present work, therefore, to prepare and analyze lithium acetylide and a lithium alkylacetylide, and to compare their reactions with those of the better known sodium derivatives. Experimental Procedure Preparation of Lithium and Sodium Acetylides.—Acetylene gas, washed by bubbling through concentrated sulfuric acid, was passed into two liters of liquid ammonia, while 7 g. (1 mole) of metallic lithium, cut in small pieces, was added gradually, with stirring, at a rate such that the solution did not develop a permanent deep blue color. When the solution became colorless after the addition of the last piece of lithium, the flow of acetylene was stopped.

Francis, Chair Professor Jamie Cate Professor Wenjun Zhang Summer 2016 Development and Applications of N-terminal Protein Bioconjugation Reactions Copyright © 2016 By: Kanwal Siddique Palla Abstract Development and Applications of N-terminal Protein Bioconjugation Reactions by Kanwal Siddique Palla Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor Matthew B. Francis, Chair With highly evolved structures and function, proteins have an extraordinarily diverse range of capabilities. In order to take advantage of their unparalleled specificity in the field of chemical biology, bioconjugation methods can be used to produce synthetically modified proteins. As ap- plications for protein-based materials are becoming ever-increasingly complex, there is a constant need for methodologies that can covalently modify protein substrates. More specifically, there is a requirement for reliable and chemoselective reactions that result in well-defined bioconjugates that are modified in a single location. We have developed a protein transamination strategy that uses N-methylpyridinium-4-carboxaldehyde benzenesulfonate salt (Rapoport's salt) to oxidize the N-terminal amine to a ketone or aldehyde functionality. We have identified high-yielding con- ditions for this reaction, such as N-terminal sequence and pH, and shown its applicability in the modification of several protein systems. In addition, we have used N-terminal protein modifica- tion methodologies in the synthesis of protein-DNA conjugates, towards the goal of developing a generalizable DNA-directed protein immobilization platform.
