Enyne monomers derived from D-xylose underwent living cascade polymerizations to prepare new polymers with a ring-opened sugar and degradable linkage incorporated into every repeat unit of the backbone. Polymerizations were well-controlled and had living character, which enabled the preparation of high molecular weight polymers with narrow molecular weight dispersity values and a block copolymer. By tuning the type of acid-sensitive linkage (hemi-aminal ether, acetal, or ether functional groups), we could change the degradation profile of the polymer and the identity of the resulting degradation products. For instance, the large difference in degradation rates between hemi-aminal ether and ether-based polymers enabled the sequential degradation of a block copolymer. Furthermore, we exploited the generation of furan-based degradation products, from an acetal-based polymer, to achieve the release of covalently bound reporter molecules upon degradation.
Non-naturally Occurring Regio Isomer of Lysophosphatidylserine Exhibits Potent Agonistic Activity toward G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), an endogenous ligand of G protein-coupled receptors, consists of l-serine, glycerol, and fatty acid moieties connected by phosphodiester and ester linkages, respectively. An ester linkage of phosphatidylserine can be hydrolyzed at the 1-position or at the 2-position to give 2-acyl lysophospholipid or 1-acyl lysophospholipid, respectively. 2-Acyl lysophospholipid is in nonenzymatic equilibrium with 1-acyl lysophospholipid in vivo. On the other hand, 3-acyl lysophospholipid is not found, at least in mammals, raising the question of whether the reason for this might be that the 3-acyl isomer lacks the biological activities of the other isomers. Here, to test this idea, we designed and synthesized a series of new 3-acyl lysophospholipids. Structure-activity relationship studies of more than 100 "glycol surrogate"derivatives led to the identification of potent and selective agonists for LysoPS receptors GPR34 and P2Y10. Thus, the non-natural 3-acyl compounds are indeed active and appear to be biologically orthogonal with respect to the physiologically relevant 1-and 2-acyl lysophospholipids.

A stereocontrolled synthesis of aryl-C-glycosides was achieved using glycals and aryldiazonium salts in the presence of palladium acetate. A wide range of glycals including d-glucal, d-galactal, l-rhamnal, d-xylal and d-ribal underwent C-arylation at the anomeric carbon in the presence of different aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and gave synthetically useful 2,3-deoxy-3-keto-α-aryl-C-glycosides in good to excellent yields. Broad substrate scope, simple operation and room temperature reactions make this protocol very attractive in organic synthesis.
