Probing α‐Amino Aldehydes as Weakly Acidic Pronucleophiles: Direct Access to Quaternary α‐Amino Aldehydes by an Enantioselective Michael Addition Catalyzed by Brønsted Bases
(Wiley, 2020-10-09)
The high tendency of α-amino aldehydes to undergo 1,2-additions and their relatively low stability under basic conditions have largely prevented their use as pronucleophiles in the realm of asymmetric catalysis, particularly ...
Brønsted Base-Catalyzed Enantioselective α-Functionalization of Carbonyl Compounds Involving π-Extended Enolates
(Wiley, 2023-11)
Chiral Brønsted base (BB) catalyzed asymmetric transformations constitute an important tool for synthesis. A meaningful fraction of these transformations proceeds through transiently generated enolate intermediates, which ...
Synthesis, biological and computational evaluation of novel cyanomethyl vinyl ether derivatives
(Frontiers Media, 2024)
This work explores the biological evaluation of novel cyanomethyl vinyl ether derivatives as antiproliferative agents. Tubulin, crucial to microtubule structure and function, is a target for cancer therapies. In vitro ...
Dehydration of alcohols catalyzed by copper(ii) sulfate: type II dyotropic reactions and stepwise mechanisms
(RSC, 2024)
Dehydration of alcohols in the presence of copper(II) sulfate has been analyzed computationally. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on selected alcohols indicate that this reaction can take place via two possible ...
β2, 2-Amino Acid N-Carboxyanhydrides Relying on Sequential Enantioselective C(4)-Functionalization of Pyrrolidin-2,3-diones and Regioselective Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation
(Wiley, 2017-02-28)
A catalytic enantioselective entry to β2, 2-amino acids enabling their direct coupling with nucleophiles is described. The approach is based upon an effective bifunctional Brønsted base catalyzed construction of a quaternary ...
Diastereoselective ZnCl2-Mediated Joullié–Ugi Three-Component Reaction for the Preparation of Phosphorylated N-Acylaziridines from 2H-Azirines
(MDPI, 2024-02-27)
We disclose a direct approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of phosphorus substituted N-acylaziridines based on a one-pot ZnCl2-catalyzed Joullié–Ugi three-component reaction of phosphorylated 2H-azirines, carboxylic ...
Phosphine-catalysed transformations of ortho- and para-quinone methides
(RSC, 2023)
Organocatalytic methodologies for the derivatization of o-QM, p-QM and the analogous aza-QM have been recently developed and involve different catalytic systems such as phosphoric acids, thioureas, squaramides, NHC carbenes ...
