A general enantioselective organocatalytic conjugate addition procedure of a variety of
malonates to α, β‐unsaturated enone systems is presented. The reaction is efficiently …

The Krapcho reaction involves esters with α‐electron‐withdrawing substituents such as
malonates, β‐keto esters, and α‐cyano esters, which undergo dealkoxycarbonylation on …

A direct oxidation of the bromo-derived Fischer–Borsche oxo-ring leading to
carbazolequinone has been developed by using molecular iodine. This unprecedented …

TfOH-promoted synthesis of 1, 5-diketones by the Michael reaction of unactivated ketones
with chalcones has been described. Acetals formed under HC (OMe) 3/TfOH conditions …

Abstract Reactions of β-1, 2, 3-thiadiazol-5-yl enamines with acetyl chloride in 1, 4-dioxane
lead to the formation of either dienamines or novel thieno [2, 3-d] pyridazines depending on …

A series of vinylogous thiol esters 2, 3 and 2, 6-dioxo-1, 2, 5, 6-tetrahydropyridines (cyclic
vinylogous thiol esters) 4 were prepared in high to excellent yields from the tandem reaction …

A new and efficient catalytic strategy that combines organocatalysis and iodine catalysis was
first developed for the difunctionalization of dienone. The reaction proceeds under metal …

A new series of beta amino acids, which act as CXCR3 antagonists, has been identified. The
formerly optimized N, N-disubstituted benzylamine derivatives with carboxylic acid function …

Several diethyl 2-cumylmalonates underwent fragmentation and dimerization in PPA at
elevated temperatures to give 1, 1, 3-trimethyl-3-arylindanes in good yields. The same …
