This week's Chemical Science Pick of the Week is "Photochemical deracemization of α-chiral carboxamides mediated by inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding" by @bach-lab.bsky.social from Technische Universität München. Read it for free here: lnkd.in/eDTucuMq

Schematic overview of a light-driven enantioselective transformation enabled by hydrogen-bond recognition. A chiral photocatalyst (catalyst 1), containing a rigid bicyclic framework and amide groups highlighted by grey boxes, interacts with a racemic aryl-substituted substrate through intramolecular hydrogen bonds (blue and magenta arrows). Under UV light (hν), catalyst 1 promotes divergent reactions depending on the substituent X. For X = OR, the reaction affords an oxindole product with an R-configured stereocentre (blue-highlighted) and up to 99.5:0.5 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.). For X = NHR, the reaction gives the corresponding S-configured product (magenta-highlighted) with up to 96:4 e.r. A note indicates that intermolecular hydrogen bonding is used for molecular recognition. A “Pick of the Week” badge appears in the lower left corner.

Graphical abstract illustrating palladium-catalyzed late-stage C-H fluorination of arenes. An aryl substrate bearing a C-H bond reacts with an electrophilic fluorine source, shown by an arrow leading to a fluorinated aryl product. At the centre, a newly designed pyridone-aminophenyl bidentate ligand coordinates palladium and enables the catalytic process. Key features highlighted below the scheme are: newly engineered bidentate ligand, late-stage fluorination, regioselectivity, fluorouracil synthesis, and broad substrate scope. The graphic uses a light grey background with teal, blue, orange, black, and red accents.

Beautiful vanadium complexes and their interconversion within! You can read the full paper for free, here: doi.org/10.1039/d6sc...

Figure comparing two vanadium-containing metallacyclic complexes, labelled 1-H and 1-Me. Ball-and-stick crystal structures are shown on the left, with vanadium highlighted in purple, silicon in yellow, nitrogen in blue, carbon in grey, and hydrogen in white. Simplified ring diagrams on the right identify atoms Si₁, Si₂, Cα, Cβ, and Cα′ and list selected bond lengths. For 1-H, V–Cα = 1.886(2) Å, V–Cβ = 2.069(2) Å, and V–Cα′ = 1.888(3) Å. For 1-Me, V–Cα = 1.865(3) Å, V–Cβ = 2.106(3) Å, and V–Cα′ = 1.877(3) Å. The comparison highlights differences in metal-carbon bonding within the five-membered vanadacycle rings.
