1. Boroxine template for macrocyclization and postfunctionalization

Kosuke Ono, Satoru Onodera, Hidetoshi Kawai Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Nov 10;58(90):12544-12547.doi: 10.1039/d2cc04691a.

A novel synthetic strategy for large macrocyclic molecules using boroxine formation was developed. For this, the threefold intramolecular olefin metathesis of 3,5-bis(alkenyloxy)phenylboroxines with various lengths of alkenyl chains, formed by the dehydration of the corresponding boronic acid substrates, together with treatment with pinacol, was used to produce 39-, 45-, and 51-membered macrocyclic compounds with three boronate units. The boroxine moiety functions as a covalent template but can also be used to postmodify the macrocycle. Boroxine-templated macrocyclization implemented in this way does not require the addition of template molecules and simplifies the synthetic procedure.

2. Bis-Boronic Acid Liposomes for Carbohydrate Recognition and Cellular Delivery

Liposomes are effective therapeutic nanocarriers due to their ability to encapsulate and enhance the pharmacokinetic properties of a wide range of drugs and diagnostic agents. A primary area in which improvement is needed for liposomal drug delivery is to maximize the delivery of these nanocarriers to cells. Cell membrane glycans provide exciting targets for liposomal delivery since they are often densely clustered on cell membranes and glycan overabundance and aberrant glycosylation patterns are a common feature of diseased cells. Herein, we report a liposome platform incorporating bis-boronic acid lipids (BBALs) to increase valency in order to achieve selective saccharide sensing and enhance cell surface recognition based on carbohydrate binding interactions. In order to vary properties, multiple BBALs (1 a-d) with variable linkers in between the binding units were designed and synthesized. Fluorescence-based microplate screening of carbohydrate binding showed that these compounds exhibit varying binding properties depending on their structures. Additionally, fluorescence microscopy experiments indicated enhancements in cellular association when BBALs were incorporated within liposomes. These results demonstrate that multivalent BBALs serve as an exciting glycan binding liposome system for targeted delivery.

3. Bis-Boric Acid-Mediated Regioselective Reductive Aminolysis of 3,4-Epoxy Alcohols

Wei Tang, Chuan Wang J Org Chem. 2022 Nov 18;87(22):15653-15660.doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.2c01878.Epub 2022 Nov 3.

Herein we report a bis-boric acid-mediated regioselective reductive aminolysis of 3,4-epoxy alcohols, providing new access to prepare amino diols in high diastereofidelity directly starting from nitroarenes. Notably, this step-economical process is enabled by the essential dual function of bis-boric acid, which is engaged initially in the 4,4'-bipyridine-catalyzed reduction of nitro compounds as the reductant and subsequently promotes the ring opening reaction of 3,4-epoxy alcohols with the in situ-generated anilines.

Bis-(m-PEG4)-amidohexanoic acid is a PEG-based linker designed to support flexible, water-compatible conjugation in targeted protein degradation (PROTAC) workflows. Its hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) character can help tune linker solubility and conformational freedom between a ligand and an E3-recruiting module, supporting productive ternary complex formation. The structure and reactivity considerations for constructing PROTACs using this linker are described in detail below.

Structure: This linker contains a central amide-bearing hexanoic acid framework connected to bis–m-PEG4 substituents. It features multiple ether linkages characteristic of PEG segments, plus amide and carboxylic acid functional groups. The resulting architecture provides pronounced hydrophilicity, conformational flexibility, and stable covalent attachment points for PROTAC assembly.

Reactivity: The carboxylic acid and amide functionalities enable standard peptide-coupling strategies to form PROTAC conjugates, typically via activation of the acid followed by nucleophilic substitution with an appropriately functionalized ligand. Common approaches employ carbodiimide or uronium-type coupling reagents in compatible polar solvents under controlled pH to minimize PEG degradation. Reaction conditions should preserve ester/ether integrity and maintain linker solubility for reproducible coupling efficiency.
