RESUMEN
Sulphur-selective conjugate addition reactions play a central role in synthetic chemistry and chemical biology. A general tool for conjugate addition reactions should provide high selectivity in the presence of competing nucleophilic functional groups, namely nitrogen nucleophiles. We report CO2-mediated chemoselective S-Michael addition reactions where CO2 can reversibly control the reaction pHs, thus providing practical reaction conditions. The increased chemoselectivity for sulphur-alkylation products was ascribed to CO2 as a temporary and traceless protecting group for nitrogen nucleophiles, while CO2 efficiently provide higher conversion and selectivity sulphur nucleophiles on peptides and human serum albumin (HSA) with various electrophiles. This method offers simple reaction conditions for cysteine modification reactions when high chemoselectivity is required.

A facile route to 4,4'-bipyrazole (H2bpz) and other symmetric bipyrazoles is achieved via the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of a pyrazole boronic ester in the presence of air and water, enabling us to provide the first crystal structures and evidence of structural phase changes in the bipyrazolate-based metal-organic framework Co(bpz).
