A simple and convenient method for the preparation of ultra-small palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) by a modified digestive ripening method is described. These nanoparticles catalyse the hydrogenation of the terminal alkyne groups to alkanes selectively, and show no effect on other labile protecting and internal alkyne or internal/external alkene groups present in the molecule.
The structure of notoryne comprises a halogenated 2,2'-bifuranyl moiety along with a terminal cis-enyne unit. In this work, we document the first total synthesis of notoryne, confirming its assigned relative and absolute configurations. The devised route comprises a glucose diacetonide-derived chiral pool intermediate as the starting point and 5- endo bromo-etherification for making the key bis-furan unit, anomeric C-allylation, as well as a relay cross-metathesis to install the cis-enyne unit.
Herein, we describe a new transition metal-free Claisen rearrangement for the synthesis of α-substituted 2,4-dienamide. This one-pot, stereoselective three-component cascade reaction affords various polysubstituted 2,4-dienamides in good yields.
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.
