Considerable effort has been devoted in the past decades to the development of new
methods for the construction of five-membered carbocycles, since they play a fundamental …

Nucleoside analogues are at the forefront of antiviral therapy for last decades. To circumvent
some of their limitations, based on their metabolism, and in order to improve their anti‐viral …

In this work, we investigated the possible use of polylactide (PLA), a biodegradable polymer
obtained from renewable biofeedstock, to produce a range of industrially useful lactic acid …

It has been roughly 25 years since the threat posed by human immunodeficiency virus type
1 (HIV-1) became widely known. The cumulative death toll from HIV/AIDS is now greater …

Alkyl-(S, S)-O-lactyllactate was prepared by chemoselective alcoholysis of lactide LA
mediated by a magnesium catalyst. When ROH reacted with LA it yielded the ring-opened …

Acetylene reacts with methylaryl (hetaryl) ketones in the presence of 6.5 mol% KOH in
DMSO to give diastereoselectively in single operationally functionalized cyclopentenes. This …

Most of the strategies for the synthesis of 6, 8‐dioxabicyclo [3.2. 1] octanes (BCO) and
cyclopentenols (CP), which show high biological and pharmaceutical activity, are multistage …

Written by a" who is who" of leading organic chemists, this anniversary volume represent the
Organic Reactions editors' choice of the most important, ground-breaking and versatile …

The olefin ring‐closing metathesis reaction catalyzed by ruthenium and molybdenum
complexes has been employed in the syntheses of carbocycles, heterocycles …

Enzymatic alcoholysis of rac-lactide for kinetic resolution was carried out in organic solvents.
Effects of organic solvent, reaction temperature, and alcohol as a nucleophile were also …
