Ketone Reduction via Transfer Hydrogenation
Chemexpress The group of Hans Adolfsson from Stockholm University has shown that ketones can be reduced to the corresponding alcohols via transfer hydrogenation in the absence of a transition metal catalyst…
Synthesis of Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-dione Derivatives
The group of Shujiang Tu from Xuzhou Normal University, China, has reported on the synthesis of a series of pyridopyrimidine-4,7-diones (Org. Biomol. Chem. 87789-35-3 In stock 2007, 7, ASAP.DOI: 10.1039/b617201f).…
Oxidation and Reduction in Organic Synthesis
The enantioselective reduction of ketones byalcohol dehydrogenases is a valuable synthetic procedure, but the required co-factors are expensive. If the reduction can be carried out with intact cells, the expense…
The Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reaction in Natural Product Synthesis
A key step in the Gin synthesis of the hetesine alkaloid nominine reviewed last week ( 2007, August 6) was an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. There have been several other recent…
Selective Reactions of Alkenes
Peter W. Roesky of the Freie Universität Berlin has devised (Chem. Commun. 2006, 874. DOI: 10.1039/b514242c)a La catalyst that effects hydrosilylation of a terminal alkene 1 to 2. Sjoerd Harder…
Stereoselective C-N Ring Construction
Several new methods for C-N ring construction based on enantioselective addition to imines have been reported. Michael J. Krische of University of Texas at Austin has used (J. Am. Chem.…
New Methods for Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation
The development of new methods for carbon-carbon bond formation is at the heart of organic synthesis. 2-(Difluoromethyl)pyridin-4-amine Data Sheet The most desirable methods are those that are easily practiced at…
