The Garcia-Gonzalez reaction Of D-glucose and ethyl acetoacetate generated ethyl 5-[(1'S)-D-erythrosyl]-2-methyl-3-furoate (5), which was converted to ethyl 5-[(1'R)-1',4'-dideoxy-1',4'-imino-D-erythrosyl]-2-methyl-3-furoate (3c) and to ethyl 5-[(1'S)-1',4 ...
At low temperature 1-alkoxy-1,3-dienes add to sulfur dioxide activated by a Lewis or Bronstedt acid and generate zwitterionic intermediates that can be quenched by enoxysilanes. The resulting beta,gamma -unsaturated silyl sulfinates can be desilylated and ...
Amyloid plaques in brain, composed of aggregates of amyloid-beta peptide, play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and represent a good target for treatment. We have shown previously that a 5-amino acid beta-sheet breaker peptide (iAb ...
We report measurements of brominated, bromochlorinated, and iodinated methanes in air extracted from deep firn at three polar locations (two Antarctic and one Arctic). Using a firn diffusion model, we are able to reconstruct a consistent temporal trend for ...
Modern organometallic methods enable the regioflexible conversion of simple heterocyclic starting materials into families of isomers and congeners. Depending on the choice of the reagent, 1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole undergoes deprotonation and sub ...
A crit. evaluation of published paraffin hydroconversion data shows that MEL-type zeolites preferentially hydrocrack paraffins where two Me groups are sepd. by a methylene group, whereas MFI-type zeolites prefer paraffins with geminal Me groups (preferably ...
The gas phase species produced in rf plasmas of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO), Si2O(CH3)(6), diluted with oxygen, have been investigated. The complementarity of Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry allows the determinatio ...
Gas phase methylation of catechol by methanol over modified gamma-alumina catalysts is studied experimentally. The catalyst composition and the reaction conditions are optimized to attain the highest selectivity towards 3-methylcatechol (C-methylation) or ...
Several 2-(aminomethyl)-and 2-(2-aminoethyl)-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives have been assayed for their inhibitory activities towards glycosidases. Good inhibitors of alpha-mannosidases must have the (2R,3R,4S) configuration and possess 2-(benzylamino)me ...
Cross-aldolization of 3-O-benzyl-N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-2,6,7-trideoxy-2,6-imino-4,5-O-isopropy lidene-beta-D-glycero-L-mannoheptose ((-)- 12, derived from D-glycero-D-gulo-heptono-1,4-lactone in eight steps with (+)-(1R,4S,5S,6S)- and (-)-(1S,4R,5R,6R)-6-c ...
