ABSTRACT：Divergent synthetic transformations that convert a single precursor into a range of structurally distinct products are powerful tools for rapidly exploring chemical space. Although numerous strategies exist for converting versatile functional handles such as halides and boronic acids into a multitude of reactive intermediates, there remains a pressing need for methodologies that exploit alternative linchpin fragments to open complementary avenues to molecular complexity. Herein, Prof. Frank Glorius et al. report a divergent, anomeric amide-enabled, aldehyde functionalization strategy, allowing access to unsymmetrical ureas, carbamates, thiocarbamates, thioesters, amines, or amides, all in a one-pot procedure. Unique to this transformation is the formation of N-Boc-hydroxamate intermediates, which serve as privileged platforms for orthogonal activation via Lossen-type rearrangements, single-electron transfer, or nucleophilic substitution, generating a diverse selection of reactive intermediates. Overall, this work establishes N-halo-O-activated hydroxycarbamate-type anomeric amides as valuable reagents for aldehyde diversification, offering a complementary approach to molecular complexity generation from feedstock compounds.

Summary and Comments
Prof. Frank Glorius et al. have developed a complementary approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas, carbamates, thiocarbamates, thioesters, amines, and amides via the anomeric amide-enabled diversification of aldehydes. While related divergent functionalization platforms have been reported, the distinguishing feature of this work is the use of an aldehyde-derived hydroxamate linchpin that enables controlled, condition-dependent switching between several fundamentally different reaction modes. Mechanistic studies indicated that the formation of the key N-Boc-hydroxamate intermediate occurs via light-induced N−Cl bond homolysis, aldehyde hydrogen atom transfer, chlorine radical capture, and acylation. This species could then be activated under a range of orthogonal conditions and coupled with a variety of complex and medicinally relevant nucleophiles and radical acceptors to rapidly generate molecular complexity. The applicability and utility of this strategy were further demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of the lipid-lowering agent ciprofibrate into a variety of drug analogues.
