The search for alternative cleaner, safer, and environmentally friendly technologies is one of
the priorities in chemistry. With this objective, the reduction of wastes together with the use of …

Several podophyllotoxin derivatives modified in the A, B, C, D and E rings were prepared
from podophyllotoxin and methyl isoxazopodophyllic acid and evaluated for their cytotoxicity …

Organic synthesis performed through multicomponent reactions is an attractive area of
research in organic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions involve more than two starting …

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of N-alkyl amines via a cascade reaction
(hydrogenation+ reductive amination) using a new recyclable hybrid catalyst that combines …

Podophyllotoxin is an important and much sought after antimitotic natural lead compound,
since it paved the way for three hemisynthetic derivatives of podophyllotoxin, eg, etoposide …

The development of sustainable organometallic chemistry is one of the many challenges
that chemists must address to solve environmental issues. Until now, the classical approach …

Conspectus Lactones and lactams are a well-known class of natural products and can be
used as building blocks in organic synthesis. In addition, they can be found in many natural …

The creation of polymers by tandem catalysis represents an exciting frontier in materials
science. Tandem catalysis is one of the strategies used by Nature for building …

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of sulfenate anions generated from β-sulfinyl esters can take
place under biphasic conditions. This hitherto unknown reaction provides a simple, mild …

A novel synthesis of substituted pyrroles by a gold (I)-catalyzed cascade reaction has been
developed. The reaction proceeded with an autotandem catalysis consisting of an initial …
