A palladium‐catalyzed intermolecular cascade (4+3) cyclocondensation of salicylaldehydes and vinylcyclopropanes is reported. A key feature of the reaction is the use of a phosphonate group as an acceptor moiety on the cyclopropane, exploiting its propensity to undergo olefination with aldehydes. Subsequent O‐allylation enabled the formation of a range of substituted benzoxepinsWith a novel chiral ligand, the products were obtained in generally good yield and with reasonable enantioselectivity.

Azophosphonium salts have a facile synthesis and can be readily tuned at the para position of the aryl group and at the phosphorus position with the use of bulky phosphines, leading to a range of coloured compounds. A relation between [a] Van '
To probe the reaction mechanism, underlying the rearrangement of oft-used trichloroacetimidate glycosyl donors into the corresponding anomeric trichloroacetamides, we have used a combination of 13 C-and 15 N-labeled glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donors in a series of crossover experiments. These unambiguously show that trichloroacetamides are formed via an intermolecular aglycon transfer mechanism. This insight enables the design of more effective glycosylation protocols, preventing the formation of deadend side products.
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.
