A number of bile acid–peptide conjugates were synthesized and their hydrogelation properties were studied. These gels were used as scaffolds to in situ make Ag and Au nanoparticle–gel hybrids.
A urea-linked bile acid–amino acid conjugate was developed as a remarkable isomer-selective gelator for various disubstituted aromatic solvents. Polymorphism shown by the urea derivative was studied in detail which showed that only the amorphous polymorph acts as a gelator, but not the crystalline one.
Bicyclic hydrazines undergo a facile palladium/iodine mediated stereoselective ring opening on reaction with organoboronic acids affording trans-3,4-disubstituted hydrazino cyclopentenes in good to excellent yield.

Abstract:A facile method for the synthesis of 1,2-orthoesters of carbohydrates in ionic liquid [bmim]PF 6 is described. The method described herein is simpler, eco-friendly and avoids the addition of quaternary ammonium salts as promoters.
A novel reactivity of organoboronic acids with bicyclic hydrazines leading to the stereoselective formation of trans-vicinal disubstituted cyclopentenes in good to excellent yield is discussed. The reaction of cyclopentadiene and fulvene derived azabicyclic alkenes with organoboronic acids afforded the trans-3,4-disubstituted cyclopentenes and alkylidene cyclopentenes in good to excellent yields. The products, having a broad range of substituents, are important intermediates in the synthesis of a number of pharmaceutically important molecules.
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.
