Catecholamines, sympathomimetic drugs and adrenergic receptor antagonists, have been prepared by a regioselective oxidation of the corresponding 4-hydroxyphenethylamine derivatives by 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) in homoge...
Novel 1,3-benzoxathian derivatives were successfully prepared in a one-pot process via a tandem ring-closure/beta-elimination pathway from easily accessible o-thio-substituted phenols.
A convenient synthesis of benzofuran- and indole-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles has been devised starting from easily available 2-silylalkynyl-substituted benzofuran and indole derivatives.
The N-substitution reactions of 20-pi-electron beta-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin 2 with alpha,omega-dibromoalkanes in N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature in the presence of various bases gave...
The selectivity of the reactions of 3-(polyfluoroacyl)-4H-chromen-4-ones with a wide range of aminoheterocycles and arylamines has been evaluated. The method described facilitates access to polyfluoroalkyl-containing fus...
The literature data on the application of organosilicon compounds as water scavengers in reactions of carbonyl compounds is surveyed. The reactions leading to both carbon-carbon (in particular, aldol-type condensations) ...
In this feature article we discuss the construction of biaryl-containing medium-sized rings by organocuprate oxidation and the application of this chemistry in the synthesis of members of the ellagitannin family of natur...
Enol phosphinates and phosphonates can be readily prepared from simple lactams in high yields and are both stable and storable. Both these substrates can be employed successfully in homogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura and Stille ...
