Asymmetric oxidation of 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles
(2008-07)
The asymmetric oxidation of prochiral 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles has been investigated. A marked
electronic effect within the substrate significantly influenced the degree of enantioselectivity
obtained, with very high enantio ...
Synthesis of dipyrrins bearing chirality adjacent to the conjugated skeleton - Electron-poor pyrroles exhibit dramatically reduced nucleophilicity
(2008-10)
With the aim of furthering our investigations into the asymmetric complexation of dipyrrinato
ligands, a dipyrrin bearing a stereogenic centre directly adjacent to the conjugated skeleton was
synthesized. The electron- ...
Microwave-accelerated synthesis of benzyl 3,5-dimethyl-pyrrole-2-carboxylate
(2006-12)
Benzyl 3,5-dimethyl-pyrrole-2-carboxylate, a very useful pyrrole in porphyrin and dipyrromethene
synthesis, can be synthesized via the Knorr-type reaction, but in low yield. Alternative routes to
benzyl 3,5-dimethyl-pyrr ...
Chloride anion transport and copper-mediated DNA cleavage by C-ring functionalized prodigiosenes
(2007)
A new class of prodigiosenes with stability-enhancing functionalities appended to the C-ring
were found to transport chloride anions through liposomal membranes, as well as to induce
copper-mediated DNA cleavage.
