Herein we report a D-3h-symmetric tail-to-tail bis-calix[6]arene 3 featuring two divergent cavities triply connected by ureido linkages. This calix[6]tube was synthesized by a domino Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction follow...
Reported is the first study of the influence of reactor configuration on the efficiency of a challenging ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction. With the intention of increasing the generality of RCM scaleup and reducing...
Borrelidin (1) is a polyketide that possesses extremely potent anti-angiogenesis activity. This paper describes its formal total synthesis by the most efficient route to date. This modular approach takes optimal benefit ...
A novel one-pot method was developed for the preparation of [Ti-eta(5)-C5H5)(eta(7)-C7H7)] (troticene, 1) by reaction of sodium cyclopentadienide (NaCp) with [TiCl4(thf)(2)], followed by reduction of the intermediate [(e...
A range of N-protected aziridines [N-Tosyl (N-Ts), N-2-trimethylsilylethanesulfonamide (N-SES), N-tert-butoxycarbonylamido (N-Boc), and N-o-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (oNs)] were prepared in moderate to good yield and with ...
The interaction of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and alpha-sexithiophene (6T) was studied by Raman spectroscopy and by in situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry. The encapsulation of 6T in SWCNT and its interaction...
In the field of nanometre-sized drug-delivery systems, a wide range of colloidal systems have been created in recent decades. All of the systems have a similar global structure, that is, an inner part and an external sur...
