Geminal-Dithiol-based Precursors for Reactive Sulfur Species Chem. Commun. (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-30 Shi Xu, Geat Ramush, Iris J Yang, Eshani Das, Meg Shieh, Ming Xian
Caged gem-dithiols have been developed as the donors of reactive sulfur species (RSS), but the chemistry of free gem-dithiols as RSS donors has not been well understood. Herein, we report the study of a free gem-dithiol, 1,3-diphenylpropane-2,2-dithiol, as the precursor for several RSS. It releases H2S under physiological conditions, and can be converted to a mono-S-nitrosothiol, which serves as a

Highly Acidic N-Triflylphosphoramides as Chiral Brønsted Acid Catalysts: The Effect of Weak Hydrogen Bonds and Multiple Acceptors on Complex Structures and Aggregation Chem. Sci. (IF 8.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-29 Markus Hecht, Philipp Dullinger, Wagner Silva, Dominik Horinek, Ruth Maria Gschwind
N-Triflylphosphoramides (NTPAs) represent an important catalyst class in asymmetric catalysis due to their multiple hydrogen bond acceptor sites and acidity, which is increased by several orders of magnitude compared to conventional chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs). Thus, NTPAs allow for several challenging transformations, which are not accessible with CPAs. However, detailed evidence on their hydrogen
