Organic Functional Group Protection
Chemexpress Masato Kitamura of Nagoya University investigated (Chem. Lett. 2009, 38, 188. DOI: 10.1246/cl.2009.188) the Ru-mediated deprotection of allyl ethers such as 1. The same catalyst was effective for the preparation…
Construction of Arrays of Stereogenic Centers: The Zhang Synthesis of (+)-Podophyllotoxin
Varinder K. Aggarwal of the University of Bristol showed(Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 1149.DOI: 10.1002/anie.200805272)that condensation of a boronic ester 2 with a metalatedaziridine 1 led, after oxidation, to…
Enantioselective C-C Bond Construction: Part Two of Two
Enantioselective target-directed synthesis, which is important both for single-enantiomer pharmaceuticals and for natural product total synthesis, depends on the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds with absolute stereocontrol. Ethyl 4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate Formula…
Benzene Derivatives: The Tanino-Miyashita Synthesis of Zoanthenol
Yuqing Hou of Southern Illinois University found (J. Org. Chem. PMID:24187611 2009, 74, 6362. DOI: 10.1021/jo901086s) that the peroxy ether 2 served effectively to directly transfer a methoxy group to…
E (FITC), anti B7-H1 mAb (eBioscience, Minneapolis, MN), and anti-mouse
E (FITC), anti B7-H1 mAb (eBioscience, Minneapolis, MN), and anti-mouse immunoglobulin conjugated with FITC (Dako Denmark A/S, Glostrup, Denmark). Detection of surface CD80 and CD86 was carried out employing unconjugated…
Ges in eCB receptors, enzymes or transporters. Anti-depressant drugs had unique
Ges in eCB receptors, enzymes or transporters. Anti-depressant drugs had distinct effects in other brain regions. Within the frontal cortex, chronic administration of NAC elevated AEA levels, whilst 2-AG levels…
Functional Group Protection: The Kraus Synthesis of Bauhinoxepin J
Amos B. Smith III of the University of Pennsylvania found (Synlett 2009, 3131. DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1218352) that the advanced SAMP intermediate 1 could be deprotected to 2 without racemization under mild…
