The development of Lewis acid promoted [3+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions as a novel methodology for the stereoselective construction of cyclopentanes and cyclobutanes is described. Elegant applications of this methodolog...

Irradiations of alkyl phenylglyoxylates with sulfur-containing carboxylates yielded the corresponding photodecarboxylative addition products in moderate to good yields of 26-58%. Reductive photodimerization competed w...

7,8-Diarylflavones were prepared by Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of the bis(triflate) of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone. The first attack proceeded with very good site selectivity at position 7, due to steric and electronic reasons...

A new class of N-2-glycosyl thiosemicarbazides has been synthesized from N-3-glycosyl oxadiazoline-thiones. Glycosylation of 5-(1H-indol-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2(3H)-thione with acetylated alpha-glycosyl halides by g...

Synthesis of a series of novel acyclo-C-nucleoside analogues bearing substituted pyridines, dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-ones, dihydro-5H-cyclopentapyridin-5-one, tetrahydrocyclohepta[b]pyridine- 5-one, and azafluorinone has...
