Alkaloids from the plants of Amaryllidaceae family consist of an unique class of nitrogen …

In order to quantify the electrophilic reactivities of common Michael acceptors, we measured
the kinetics of the reactions of monoacceptor-substituted ethylenes (H2C CH-Acc, 1) and …

Quinolinones, also called quinolones, are a group of heterocyclic compounds with a broad
spectrum of biological activities. These compounds occur naturally in plants and …

We show that alkylidene dihydropyridines, readily prepared from 4-alkylpyridines, behave
as soft nucleophiles toward a range of α, β-unsaturated ketones under the influence of silyl …

A continuous‐flow procedure for the synthesis of β‐ketoesters has been developed through
Roskamp reaction between aldehydes and diazoesters in the presence of a Sn‐MCM‐41 …

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

Zwitterionic Lewis pair (LP) catalysis is potent towards the polymerization of lactone
monomers to form cyclic polymers. In pursuit of faster polymerization kinetics, the use of …

A novel tactic to synthesize unsymmetrical 3-aryladipic acid esters has been developed via
magnesium-promoted reductive coupling of ethyl cinnamates with methyl acrylate. In the …

Axially chiral cycloalkylidenes are interesting but less developedaxially chiral molecules.
Here, a bispidine‐based chiral amine catalytic system was developed to promote efficiently …
