The ways in which acyclic chains are synthesized may often be classified into one of four
strategies (Scheme 1). The classical one directional Linear Synthesis and Convergent …

Well over a decade ago, two reviews were contributed to the Organic Reactions series
covering substitution and conjugate addition reactions in organocopper chemistry. Their …

N-Toluenesulfonyl aziridines comprise effective second electrophiles in the solvent
controlled three-component linchpin union of silyl dithianes for the stereocontrolled …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the cycloaddition reactions of nitrile oxides with
alkenes. It covers the literature published between 1985 and 1992. The chapter emphasizes …

We describe a general procedure for the synthesis of miktoarm star triblock copolymers with
a hydrocarbon, a fluoropolymer, and a hydrophilic segment. Several μ-(polyethylethylene) …

The asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation of divinylcarbinol (1), a secondary, achiral allylic
alcohol, is described in detail. The epoxidation proceeds with high enantio-control and …

This paper describes a new synthesis of latanoprost (1) that afforded high purity latanoprost
in 16.9% overall yield in eight synthetic steps from sulfone 4. The “α chain” in a derivative of …

A synthesis of Entecavir (BMS-200475) was achieved starting from 1, 3-propanediol in 15
steps and 23.4% overall yield. A unique feature of the synthetic route is that the five …

Abstract Bimatoprost (1) and Latanoprost (2) are prostaglandin analogues widely used for
glaucoma treatment. We have developed a new chemoenzymatic synthesis for 1 and 2 …
