Synthesis of Diazaphospholenes for Improved Catalysis
(2023-08-28)Diazaphospholene (DAP) synthesis and reactivity has been emerging over the last two decades. Recently, DAPs have been employed as catalysts for asymmetric reduction transformations. Specifically in the Speed group we use ... -
Synthesis of Heterocycles via Chemoselective Geminal Acylation of 2-Methoxyoxazolidines, E/Z Isomerization in the Metathesis of Allyl Alcohol Derivatives with a First-Generation Ruthenium Catalyst, and Interception of Nazarov Reaction Intermediates of Allenyl Vinyl Ketones with Arenes
(2013-10-11)Heterocycles were prepared through the geminal acylation of 2-methoxyoxazolidines with 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)cyclobutene. It was found that when water was excluded from the standard reaction conditions, regioselectivity ... -
Synthesis of Novel Types of Polyester Glycodendrimers and the Development and Applications of an Efficient Alternative to Multistep Regioselective Esterification in Diols and Polyols
(2016-01-19)Polyester dendrimers are attractive for biological applications because they are biodegradable and non-toxic. The preparation of a variety of core molecules that are compatible with deprotection using hydrogenolysis is ... -
The Synthesis of Prodigiosene-Based Anticancer Reagents and Development of Reactions for Dipyrrin-Based Molecules
(2017-08-22)Prodigiosenes, dipyrrins and F-BODIPYs are related pyrrolic compounds that share a common, conjugated backbone structure composed of an adhered pyrrole and azafulvene unit. Prodigiosenes are tripyrrolic compounds isolated ... -
