New antibiotics target the outer membrane of bacteria

by Marcelo C. Sousa

Nature, Published online: 09 December 2019; doi:10.1038/d41586-019-03730-x

A double membrane protects certain bacteria from antibiotics, but compounds have now been generated that can overcome this obstacle, seemingly by targeting a crucial protein in the outer membrane.

Dibenzothiophene Sulfoximine as an NH3 Surrogate in the Synthesis of Primary Amines by Copper-Catalyzed C−X and C−H Bond Amination

by Li Zhen, Hao Yu, Carsten Bolm

Abstract

Readily accessible dibenzothiophene sulfoximine is an NH3 surrogate allowing the preparation of free anilines by copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl iodides or amides followed by radical S−N bond cleavage. The one-pot/two-step reactions sequence leads to the aminated products in good yields.

A useful substitute: Dibenzothiophene sulfoximine is an NH3 surrogate allowing halo arenes and amides to be converted into aminated analogues by copper-catalyzed Buchwald–Hartwig-type or dehydrogenative C−H/N−H cross-coupling reactions followed by radical sulfoxide cleavage.
