GFP-like 3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylideneimidazolinone (FBI) and 3,5-bis(methoxy)-4-hydroxy-benzylideneimidazolinone (MBI) labels were attached to dCTP through a propargyl linker, and the resulting labeled nucleotides (...
A series of dicarboxylic quinoline derivatives bearing electron-releasing or -withdrawing substituents have been synthesized using mono- or/and biphasic methodologies. By controlling the regioselectivity of addition into...
The development of efficient methods for the synthesis of molecules with 1,4-difunctionalities has been a dire need of the synthetic community. In this work, intermolecular reductive coupling of ynoates and aldehydes (in...
Triarylaminium salt was disclosed as an efficient initiator for the novel Friedel-Crafts alkylation/annulation cascade reaction between chalcone epoxides and 2-naphthols to construct polysubstituted 1,2-dihydronaphtho[2,...
Reduction of cis-N-triflylaziridines with 10 equiv of Red-Al in toluene at -40 to 0 degrees C selectively afforded corresponding deprotected parent aziridines in good to high yields. N,N-Dialkyltriflylamides were also su...
Concerted metalation deprotonation (CMD) approach with appropriate proton shuttle precursor, base, and solvent (PivOH-K2CO3-toluene) has rendered a regioselective Pd-catalyzed C6-arylation of 3-aminoimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin...
We developed a new synthetic method for bicyclo[2.2.2]-octadiene (BCOD)-fused porphyrin (1), a tetrabenzoporphyrin (TBP, 2) precursor that is well-known as a good material for use in organic electronic devices. The newly...
Bis(thiazole) pincer palladium complexes showed efficient catalytic activity for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halides, allowing the synthesis of biaryls with very high turnover numbers and turnover frequencies. Th...
The direct asymmetric vinylogous Mannich reaction of 3,4-dihalofuran-2(513)-one with aldimine catalyzed by quinine was first reported, and gamma-butenolides have been obtained in excellent yield (up to 98%) and enantiose...
A new type of transesterification between aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl N-heteroarene-2-carboxylates and various aldehydes by C-H and C-O bond activations has been developed for the synthesis of versatile carboxylates. A possi...
A multifunctional fluorescent sensor based on a cyclen-appended BINOL derivative (R-1) was synthesized and characterized. It can display on-off-type fluorescence change with high selectivity toward Cu(II) among 19 metal ...
FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O-catalyzed efficient C3-alkenylation of indoles was realized through the condensation of aldehydes and indole derivatives in the presence of 2 equiv of ethanol at ambient temperature, forming 3-vin...
A Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed ortho-alkoxylation of arylnitrile was described. Using cyano as a directing group, the aromatic C-H bond can be functionalized efficiently to generate ortho-alkoxylated arylnitrile derivatives with...
A concise synthesis of the tetracyclic core (ABCE rings) of daphenylline has been accomplished involving a benzobicyclo[3.3.1] lactam as the key intermediate. This bridged bicyclic intermediate was efficiently constructe...
