Three-component Passerini reactions (P-3CR) of a wide range of aldehydes and isocyanides, with hydrazoic acid in toluene, in the presence of a [(salen)-AlMe]-complex catalyst afford 5-(1-hydroxyalkyl)tetrazoles in good-to-excellent yields and enantiomeric ...
A range of carbonyl compds. including aliph. and arom. aldehydes and ketones were converted to the corresponding thioacetals in high yields in the presence of a catalytic amt. of hafnium trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.1 mol%, room temp.). The mild conditions ...
The development of efficient routes to multi gram quantities of chiral synthons is a key issue in total synthesis of natural products and analogues. The conformationally defined and rigid 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one template appears as an appealing s ...
The aza-MBH reaction of imines, e.g., I, and beta -naphthyl acrylate in the presence of C-6' modified beta -isocupreidine deriv. (0.1 equiv) and beta -naphthol (0.1 equiv) afforded the corresponding (3S)-aza-MBH adducts, e.g., II, in high yield and excelle ...
The combination of o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) efficiently oxidizes primary amines to the corresponding nitriles in good to excellent yield under mild conditions. The reaction is racemization-free when applied to a chir ...
Sustainable microbial production of high-value organic compounds such as 3-hydroxypropanoate (3HP) is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to organic syntheses that utilize petrochemical feedstocks. We applied the Biochemical Network Integrated ...
The three-component Povarov reaction of aldehydes, anilines, and benzyl N-vinylcarbamate in the presence of 0.1 equiv of chiral phosphoric acid afforded cis-2,4-disubstituted tetrahydroquinolines, e.g. I, in good yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses. ...
Optically active 1,3-diethynylallenes (DEAs) were prepd. by enantioselective Pd-mediated SN2'-type cross-coupling and their abs. configuration was detd. by X-ray anal. Addn. of tetracyanoethene (TCNE) to donor-substituted DEAs affords novel 1,1,4,4-tetracy ...
The solvent-free selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE) was studied over a Pd/ZnO structured catalyst and compared to its behavior in water-assisted conditions. The catalytic behavior was correlated with the s ...
In many Systems on Chips (SoCs), the cores are clustered in to voltage islands. When cores in an island are unused, the entire island can be shutdown to reduce the leakage power consumption. However, today, the interconnect architecture is a bottleneck in ...
