Cu(I)-catalyzed highly exo-selective and enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with acrylates

[reaction: see text] A novel Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with acrylates has been developed. Up to 98/2 exo/endo selectivity and up to 98% enantiomeric excess have been achieved.     

A correlation study of bisphosphine ligand bite angles with enantioselectivity in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric transformations

Among the bisphosphine ligands, we have previously developed C_n-TunePhos (n = 1-6) as a family of ligands with tunable bite angles. The increase in spacer -CH₂- groups in this family of ligands causes changes in ligand dihedral angle, which in turn causes P-Pd-P bite angle variation. Pd-catalyzed asymmetric alkylations and cycloadditions have been tested with C_n-TunePhos ligands. This study aims at a possible correlation between ligand bite angles with enantioselectivity of the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric products.     

A Rapid and Facile Esterification of Na-Carboxylates with Alkyl Halides Promoted by the Synergy of the Combined Use of DMSO and an Ionic Liquid Under Ambient Conditions

The synergy of the combined use of DMSO and an ionic liquid viz. (bbim)⁺Br^? has brought about a rapid and efficient esterification of sodium carboxylates with acyl and alkyl halides under ambient conditions in excellent isolated yields (90–95%) in short reaction times (12–40 min).     

A novel synthetic approach towards pyrazole-4-carboxamides using N-(3-(dimethylamino)-2-formylacryloyl)formamide

Abstract  

A novel synthesis of pyrazole-4-carboxamides is reported. The reaction of N-(3-(dimethylamino)-2-formylacryloyl)formamide, an intermediate obtained by Vilsmeier–Haack formylation of acetonitrile, with hydrazine hydrate or monosubstituted hydrazines provides such compounds in good yields. This method has advantages over other methods for construction of such ring systems previously described in the literature.     

Arylbenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>][1, 6]naphthyridine Derivatives: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties

Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling was successfully used for C5-arylation in 4-amino-2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde using arylbornic acid and tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium catalyst in water. Friedländer condensation reaction on 4-amino-2-chloro/2-arylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde and aromatic ketones gave novel aryl and diarylbenzo[h] [1, 6]naphthyridines in good yields. Fluorescence quantum yields were increased by introducing C2 and C5 π donor aryl benzo[h][1, 6]naphthyridines derivatives.
