Supramolecular catalysts emulate the mechanism of enzymes to achieve large rate accelerations and precise selectivity under mild and aqueous conditions. While significant strides have been made in the supramolecular host-promoted synthesis of small molecules, applications of this reactivity to chemoselective and site-selective modification of complex biomolecules remain virtually unexplored. We report here a supramolecular system where coencapsulation of pyridine-borane with a variety of molecules including enones, ketones, aldehydes, oximes, hydrazones, and imines effects efficient reductions under basic aqueous conditions. Upon subjecting unprotected lysine to the host-mediated reductive amination conditions, we observed excellent ?-selectivity, indicating that differential guest binding within the same molecule is possible without sacrificing reactivity. Inspired by the post-translational modification of complex biomolecules by enzymatic systems, we then applied this supramolecular reaction to the site-selective labeling of a single lysine residue in an 11-amino acid peptide chain and human insulin.
Method for preparing polyfluorobenzyl alcohol

Paragraph 0039; 0040, (2018/05/16)
The invention relates to a method for preparing polyfluorobenzyl alcohol, and belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: 1. allowing polyfluorobenzoic acid and a dehydrating reagent to a reflux reaction; 2 adding sodium borohydride to a product obtained in step 1 to perform a reduction reaction to obtain the polyfluorobenzyl alcohol. Although themethod provided by the invention requires two steps, the selectivity of the two-step reaction is high, no side reaction exists, no organic three wastes exist, and the yield is also higher than that of the existing method.
