The methodology described in this paper involves the epoxidation of cyclic ene-acetals to spontaneously generate 6 alpha-hydroxy-bis-acetals that could serve as precursors for a Cannizzaro-type rearrangement, yielding bi...
An efficient diversity-oriented procedure for the two-step synthesis of 3-benzazepines is described. The Cu-I-catalyzed three-component coupling of an aldehyde, an alkyne and an amine (A(3)-coupling) provides the require...
