The conversion of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole, an exceptionally acidic arene, via a 4-lithiated intermediate into more than three dozen new derivs. was conceived as a case study. The lithiated species was trapped by C0-electrophiles (4-toluenesulfonyl az ...
The pi-stacking between aromatic oligomers has been extensively studied for many years, although the notion of exploiting this phenomenon as the driving force for molecular actuation has only recently emerged. In this work we examine with MP2 and Car-Parri ...
A modified vancomycin binding pocket (D-O-E ring) incorporating an alpha -hydroxy-beta -amino acid at the AA4 position is designed and synthesized. Some of these compds. display potent bioactivities against both sensitive- and resistant-strains (8 micro g/ ...
This paper discusses the self-assembly of block copolymers into vesicular morphology. After a brief state of art of the field, a system based on an amphiphilic poly(butadiene)- b-poly(-L-glutamic acid) (PB- b-PGA) diblock copolymer in aqueous solution is d ...
Enantiomerically pure (-)-(1R,4R,5R,6S)- and (+)-(1S,4S,5S,6R)-7-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-5,6-exo-isopropylidenedioxy-7- azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-one ((-)-3 and (+)-3) have been obtained from the Diels-Alder adduct of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)pyrrole and 2-bromo ...
The synthesis of 46 derivatives of (2R,3R,4S)-2-(aminomethyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol is reported (Scheme I and Fig. 3), and their inhibitory activities toward alpha-mannosidases from jack bean (B) and almonds (A) are evaluated (Table). ne most-potent inhibito ...
N-protected tropenone undergoes highly regioselective retro-Mannich reactions to 2-pyrrolyl ketones in the presence of Lewis or Bronsted acids. Analogously, a pyrrole deriv. was obtained by using subsequent nucleophilic trapping with trimethylsilanecarboni ...
Aryl and alkenyl sulfonyl chlorides can be used in Heck-Mizoroki-type couplings with mono- and disubstituted olefins in a nitrile-functionalized ionic liquid, viz. [C3CNpy][Tf2N]. Advantages over previously reported methods include: (1) use of a cheap cat ...
Triethyl[(2-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]silane reacts with the superbasic LIC-KOR mixt. of butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide exclusively at the 4-position ("meta-metalation") and not at all at the 3-position ("ortho-metalation"). Two further substrates w ...
Chiral esters and amides (I) of pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid are new. - Chiral esters and amides of pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, having formula (I), are new. - A = groups F1 or F2; - R' and R'' = 1-20C hydrocarbyl, i.e. acyclic, linear or branched, satu ...
