Asym. synthesis of lemonomycinone amide was accomplished from readily accessible starting materials. Enantioselective alkylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine tert-Bu ester by 5-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2,4-dimethoxy-3-methylbenzyl bromide in the prese ...
1-Alkoxy-2-methyl-3-acyloxy-(E,E)-penta-1,3-dienes have been prepared applying among others a modified Danishefsky's general method, including chiral, racemic, and achiral derivatives. ...
Three-component reaction of an alpha -(isocyano)acetamide, a homoallyl amine and an aldehyde in methanol at room temp. provides an oxa-bridged tricyclic compd. in good to excellent yield as a mixt. of two separable diastereoisomers. In this one-pot multico ...
A facile pathway to [RuCl2(η6-benzocrownether)]2 complexes is described and crystal structures of the complexes [RuCl2(η6-benzo-15-crown-5)]2 and [RuCl2(η6- ...
Starting from the inexpensive 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole or its 5-bromo deriv., two new atropisomeric bisphosphines have been prepd. which, after racemate resoln., exhibit attractive features as ligands for enantioselective catalysts. The key step in th ...
Enhanced activity, lower catalyst loading, shorter reaction time, and expanded substrate scope are the advantages of [Mn(dpm)3] over Co catalysts in the hydrohydrazination reaction of alkenes. Thus, sterically hindered alkenes, including tetrasubstituted a ...
A review. Although the synthesis of beta -lactams by means of tethered Ugi reactions was known since the early 1960s, the 1995 report from Ugi's group could be regarded as a turning point in the development of novel multicomponent reactions (MCRs) for hete ...
This thesis is divided in seven main chapters including an introduction about the state of the art in the field, four main chapters describing the main part of the work, a short insight on the implications of the presented results for other research projec ...
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 ...
An efficient one-step synthesis of piperidin-2-yl and pyrrolidin-2-yl flavonoid alkaloids was achieved in good to excellent yields by a highly regioselective phenolic Mannich reaction of chrysin with cyclic imines or iminium salts. Performing the reaction ...
