AbstractCholesterol is an essential component of cellular membranes regulating the structural integrity and fluidity of biological bilayers and cellular processes such as signal transduction and membrane trafficking. However, tools to investigate the role and dynamics of cholesterol in live cells are still scarce and often show limited applicability. To address this, we previously developed a class of imidazolium-based cholesterol analogs, CHIMs. Here we confirm that CHIM membrane integration characteristics largely mimic those of cholesterol. Computational studies in simulated phospholipid bilayers and biophysical analyses of model membranes reveal that in biologically relevant systems CHIMs behave similarly to natural cholesterol. Importantly, the analogs can functionally replace cholesterol in membranes, can be readily labeled by click chemistry and follow trafficking pathways of cholesterol in live cells. Thus, CHIMs represent chemically versatile cholesterol analogs that can serve as a flexible toolbox to study cholesterol behavior and function in live cells and organisms.

Carbene Transfer

The photochemical carbene transfer reaction is a timely strategy in organic synthesis and generally proceeds via singlet carbene intermediates. In this combined experimental and computational studies, we show that the photolysis reaction of diaryl diazoalkanes gives access to both singlet and triplet diarylcarbene intermediates. The electronic properties of substituents of the aryl substituents show a strong influence on the electronic properties of the carbene intermediate and result in significantly reduced singlet triplet energy gaps. Depending on the spin state and electronic properties of the carbene intermediate, the reaction with alkynes provides access towards chemoselective cyclopropenation, cascade, or C-H functionalization reactions.
