Reaction of N,N-dibenzyl-O-methylsulfonyl serine Me ester with a variety of heteronucleophiles (sodium azide, sodium phthalimide, amines, thiols) and carbanions (sodium malonate) gave, via an aziridinium intermediate, the corresponding beta -amino or alpha ...
The cobalt-catalyzed hydrohydrazination reaction of dienes and enynes is presented. Allylic and propargylic hydrazides were obtained in synthetically useful yields (allylic amines, 60-90%; propargylic amines, 47-83%) and good chemo- and regioselectivity. [ ...
Herein is reported an investigation towards the stereoselective synthesis of inherently chiral pseudorotaxanes. Chiral ammonium threads were readily prepared in five steps from racemic or enantiopure (M or P) salts of di-n-propyl-1,13-dimethoxyquinacridini ...
Unusual diglycosides composed of D-hexofuranosyl entities were prepared by a chemoenzymatic route using the -L-arabinofuranosidase, AbfD3. The required, unprotected monosaccharidic donors were first prepared according to multi-step syntheses. Since one goa ...
Starting from inexpensive furan and furfuryl alcohol, a noniterative approach to the synthesis of pentadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octols and their derivatives has been developed. The method relies upon the double [4+3]-cycloaddition of 1,1,3-trichloro-2-oxyla ...
The importance of catalysis in chemistry has not to be proved anymore. Be it homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis, the constant progresses observed in that field proves its obvious interest. The asymmetric homogeneous catalysis is a method of choice to s ...
Nowadays any natural and non-natural monosaccharide can be prepared pure in both enantiomeric forms starting from inexpensive starting materials. Depending on the target, pure chemical procedures relying upon asymmetric catalysis using either metallic or p ...
The palladium catalyzed [3+2] trimethylenemethane (TMM) cycloaddn. is an efficient method for the construction of cyclopentanes. Herein, a catalytic asym. protocol for the synthesis of spirocyclic oxindolic cyclopentanes, e.g., I, is reported. The title co ...
The first biomimetic total synthesis of the iron chelator anachelin H isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica is reported. A first generation approach delivered one enantiomeric series of the polyketide fragment. Comparison of the 1H NMR data ...
