We report on a multi-technique investigation of the supramolecular organisation of N,N-diphenyl oxalic amide under differently dimensioned environments, namely three-dimensional (3D) in the bulk crystal, and in two dimensions on the Ag(111) surface as well ...
A new one-pot synthesis of sulfoxides is presented. It involves the bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters, giving mixed anhydrides of sulfinic and boric acids. The latter react chemoselectively at the sulfur center with Grigna ...
Synthesis of Modified Prolines using aza naked sugar methodology R and S-prolines are secondary, cyclic, pyrrolidine-based amino acids. Proline demonstrated excellent catalytic activity to promote enantio- and diatereoselective, intra- and intermolecular c ...
A postulated biogenesis forms the basis for a synthetic route to the natural product anachelin H. Key steps include a tellurium-mediated, oxidative aza annulation and a Claisen condensation under mild conditions. Experiments with a model substrate indicate ...
In the presence of sulfur dioxide and an acid promoter, (-)-(1E,3Z)-2-methyl-1-((1S)-1-phenyleth- oxy)penta-1,3-dien-3-yl isobutyrate reacts with (Z)-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)-pent-2-ene giving a silyl sulfinate intermediate that undergoes, in the presence of ...
The goal of our project (HES-SO n°11246) is to develop chemometric methods that enhance the development of chemical reactions. Semi-batch experiments are performed using a fully automated chemical reactor. Real-time analytical data, infrared (IR) spectra f ...
The acid-catalyzed cyclization-condensation between anilines and Et 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate affords 1,4-dihydro-2-trifluoromethyl-4H-4-quinolinones, which can easily be converted into 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines. These undergo halogen/metal e ...
This project aims at the optimization of chemical reactions by using online analytical and chemometric methods. The experiments are carried out in a fully automated chemical reactor (1 liter). The host computer controls the standard process variables such ...
A concise, practical and stereoselective total synthesis of galantinic acid, constituent of the peptide antibiotic galantin, is reported. The title compound is obtained in six steps via Heathcock-Claisen condensation, Evans reduction and deprotection in 10 ...
The first aza-C-disaccharide (D-azaMan-beta-CHz-(1 -> 6)-D-Man-alpha-OMe) that mimicks alpha-D-Manp-(1 -> 6)-alpha-D-ManOMe was made in 1994 by Johnson and coworkers. Several synthetic approaches to these disaccharide mimetics have been proposed. These are ...
