A thermodynamically controlled resolution has allowed for the generation of diastereomerically enriched complexes, by chirality transfer from an enantiopure building block to a dynamically racemic biaryl derivative. A switchable sense of induction could be achieved depending on the substituents of the chiral block.
Zeolites with the right shape and acid site density and strength, such as certain ZSM-5f orms, were able to cleanly decompose formic acid to carbon monoxide (CO), and the latter could be directly used in palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions.As imple two-reactors ystem was designed to produce CO convenientlya nd then furtherr eactt his gas in as afe way.T he two-reactor systemi sp articu-larly cheap,e asy to set up and use.I na ddition, the carbonylation conditions without pressure allowed for very efficientC Oi ncorporation, with only 1% of palladium(II) chloride (PdCl 2 )a nd Xantphos.
A simple and robust one-pot nucleophilic addition-ring contraction of α-bromo N-sulfonylpyrrolidinones has been achieved toward α-carbonylated N-sulfonylazetidines. In the presence of potassium carbonate, various nucleophiles, such as alcohols, phenols or anilines, have been efficiently incorporated into the azetidine derivatives. Moreover, the α-bromopyrrolidinone precursors could be selectively obtained in good yields by monobromination of cheap and easily available N-sulfonyl-2-pyrrolidinone derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
