A mild method for the synthesis of anomerically allylated C-glycopyranosides and C-glycofuranosides

The reaction of glycosyl acetates with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of zinc bromide has been investigated as a new method for $\text{C}$-glycoside construction.     

A C-glycoside route to leukotrienes

The stereospecific syntheses of three isomers of 7-hydroxy-5,6-epoxy heptanoic acid methyl ester, $\text{7}$, $\text{12b}$ and $\text{19}$, have been achieved via a $\text{C}$-glycoside route.     

MIRC (Michael Initiated Ring Closure) Reactions Formation of Three,Five, Six and Seven Membered Rings

The term MIRC reaction is defined. Examples of the construction of three, five, six and seven membered rings using alkylthiolates and LDA as nucleophiles are presented.     

Solvolytic behavior of p-dimethylamino-α-bromostyrene in water solutions

Nmr and UV studies show that $\text{p}$-dimethylamino-$\text{α}$-bromostyrene, I, undergoes S_Nl reaction in H₂O and HClO₄ (^kS_Nl = 6 × 10^?1sec.^?1 at 25°). The vinyl cation has an extraordinary selectivity for capture by aromatic amines relative to H₂O, including I itself to give the dimer II.     

Synthesis of 2′-methylated pyrimidine C-nucleosides

The title $\text{C}$-nucleosides have been prepared in a direct and stereocontrolled manner through the polybromo ketone/furan cyclocoupling approach.     

13C-NMR spectra of 6-aminohexyl glycosides of O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose

¹³C-NMR spectral data on 6-aminohexyl glycosides of $\text{O}$-β-$\text{D}$-galactopyranosyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-$\text{D}$-glucopyranose are pr     

Behavior of p-dimethylamino-α-bormostyrene and its dimer in dioxane-water

Monomeric $\text{p}$-dimethylamino-$\text{α}$-bromostyrene undergoes S_Nl increasingly slowly in 60 to 91% dioxane. Reaction is catalyzed by HClO₄, NaOH and NaClO₄. Dimer 11 reverts to monomer I in 91% dioxane. There is only a small solvent effect on the solvolysis rate of II.     

O(Diphenylphosphinyl)hydroxylamine: A new reagent for electrophilic C-amination

$\text{O}$-(Diphenylphosphinyl)hydroxylamine efficiently aminates a variety of stabilised carbanions and certain Grignard reagents.     

The ipso-nitration of p-cresol

The nitration of $\text{p}$-cresol by nitric acid in aqueous sulphuric acid involves ~40% $\text{ipso}$-substitution at C^Me. The 4-methyl-4-nitrocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one (I) formed undergoes an acid-catalysed rearrangement to 4-methyl-2-nitrophenol.     

Base-induced intramolecular cyclisation of N-(o-azidobenzoyl)-arylamines. A new synthesis of 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-indazolin-3-ones

In strong base, e.g., sodium hydride in dimethylformamide, $\text{N}$-($\text{o}$-azidobenzoyl)arylamines cyclise in high yield to 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3$\text{H}$-indazolin-3-ones.
