The selective α-C-C bond cleavage of unfunctionalized secondary (2°) and tertiary alcohols (3°) is essential for valorization of macromolecules and biopolymers. We developed a blue-light-driven iron catalysis for aerobic oxidation of 2° and 3° alcohols to acids via α-C-C bond cleavages at room temperature. The first example of oxygenation of the simple tertiary alcohols was reported. The iron catalyst and blue light play critical roles to enable the formation of highly reactive O radicals from alcohols and the consequent two α-C-C bond cleavages.

The Wnt signaling pathway is an essential signal transduction pathway which leads to the regulation of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and migration. Aberrant Wnt signaling is known to have an association with multiple cancers. Porcupine is an enzyme that catalyses the addition of palmitoleate to a serine residue in Wnt proteins, a process which is required for the secretion of Wnt proteins. Here we report the synthesis and structure–activity-relationship of the novel porcupine inhibitors based on a ‘reversed’ amide scaffold. The leading compound 53 was as potent as the clinical compound LGK974 in a cell based STF reporter gene assay. Compound 53 potently inhibited the secretion of Wnt3A, therefore was confirmed to be a porcupine inhibitor. Furthermore, compound 53 showed excellent chemical and plasma stabilities. However, the clearance of compound 53 in liver microsomal tests was moderate to high, and the solubility of compound 53 was suboptimal. Collective efforts toward further optimization of this novel tricyclic template to develop better porcupine inhibitors will be subsequently undertaken and reported in due course.

The reorientational dynamics of a polar environment, for example water in the hydration shell of biomolecules, can be measured with a molecular probe by time-resolving its fluorescence Stokes shift. The new probe 7-amino- dibenzofuran-3-carboxylate (ADC)
