A sol–gel method is proposed to obtain continuously adjustable acidity and basicity of the metal borate catalyst (AlxGa1−x)4B2O9, which exhibits controlled catalytic activity toward the Strecker reaction.
A new type of anthracene dimer was synthesized through an efficient approach involving the Strecker reaction and self-condensation of α-aminonitrile. This anthracene dimer shows interesting conformational properties and photoinduced configurational isomerization.
This review highlights metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as versatile catalytic platforms for multicomponent reactions, emphasizing their mechanistic insights, design strategies, stability, and future prospects for sustainable catalysis.
The reaction of arylaldehydes and arylamines with nontoxic NH4SCN in the presence of TBHP led to a divergent Strecker synthesis of aminonitriles and iminonitriles.
Asymmetric organocatalysis has acquired a prominent place in modern synthesis of noncanonical α-amino acids (ncAAs), valuable structural elements in organic synthesis, chemical biology, and medicine.
