We report a transition-metal-free trans-selective semireduction of alkynes with pinacolborane and catalytic potassium tert-butoxide. A variety of 3-substituted primary and secondary propiolamides, including an analog of FK866, a potent nicotinamide mononucleotide adenyltransferase (NMNAT) inhibitor, are reduced to the corresponding (E)-3-substituted acrylamide derivatives in up to 99% yield with >99:1 E/Z selectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that an activated Lewis acid-base complex transfers a hydride to the α-carbon followed by rapid protonation in a trans fashion.

Functional precision polymers based on monodisperse oligo(N-substituted acrylamide)s and oligo(2-substituted-α-hydroxy acid)s have been synthesized. The discrete sequences originate from a direct translation of side-chain functionality sequences of a peptide with well-studied properties. The peptide was previously selected to solubilize the photosensitizer meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin. The resulting peptidomimetic formulation additives preserve the drug solubilization and release characteristics of the parent peptide. In some cases, superior properties are obtained, reaching up to 40 % higher payloads and 27-times faster initial drug release.
