We designed and synthesized a fatty aldehyde surrogate containing a formyl thioester group, which can be reduced by fatty aldehyde reductase (FALR) with stoichiometric formaldehyde generation. It can be rapidly visualized and quantified using the Purpald assay. We demonstrated its successful application in the high throughput screening of FALR engineering.
A highly efficient manganese-catalyzed redox-neutral thiolation of alkylhalides with thioformates was developed. This method could be extended to the late-stage thiolation of structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals by using easily synthesized thioformates as thiyl radical precursors.
