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.
Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA)-mediated aldol condensation is a fundamental method for the synthesis of β-hydroxy esters.
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.
Porous networks were efficiently prepared by crosslinking hydrophilic poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOx) with dicarboxylic polyesters (HOOC–PLA–COOH or HOOC–PCL–COOH) in the presence of sodium chloride as a water-soluble porogen.
