The atom efficient transesterification of phosphate esters with catalytic base was investigated using an isopropenyl leaving group, generating acetone as the only by-product.
DA adducts obtained from chitin-derived furans underwent dehydration reactions ultimately leading to the synthesis of N-containing aromatics, including phthalimides.
This review showcases the most recent application of commercially relevant linear and alkylene organic carbonates and a representative enol ester, isopropenyl acetate (iPAc), for the chemical upgrading of renewable-based compounds and biopolymers.
This review discusses the recent synthetic strategies for the total synthesis of galantamine, a natural medicine for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, focusing on the construction of the key quaternary center and the asymmetric synthesis.
A flexible strategy, which unites succinic anhydride and 1,3-azadienes to produce allylic 2-pyrrolidinones bearing contiguous stereocenters is described.
