Synthesis of Quinoline Derivatives by [4+2]Cycloaddition Reaction

Abstract Synthesis of quinoline derivatives by Lewis acid catalyzed [4+2]cycloaddition was investigated.

A Short Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure (+)-Eldanolide and (-)-cis-Whisky Lactone by Samarium Diiodide Promoted Fragmentation of g-Halo Esters

A stereoselective synthesis of (+)-eldanolide and (-)-cis-whisky lactone in optically pure forms has been achieved by employing a regioselective fragmentation reaction of the γ-halo esters as a key step

Samarium(II) iodide promoted reductive fragmentation of γ-halo carbonyl compounds: application to the enantiospecific synthesis of (–)-oudemansin A

The reductive regioselective bond-cleavage reaction of γ-halo carbonyl compounds with samarium(II) iodide is developed and its utilisation in the enantiospecific synthesis of (–)-oudemansin A is described.

Novel carbon–carbon bond formation by means of a rhodium acetate-catalysed reaction of γ,δ-unsaturated diazoketone and its application to the synthesis of 4-epi-isovalerenenol

Rhodium acetate-catalysed decomposition of a γ,δ-unsaturated diazoketone gives novel carboncarbon bond formation, a method used to synthesise 4-epi-isovalerenenol.

An Enantioselective Synthesis of the Key Intermediate for the Preparation of 1b-Methylcarbapenem Antibiotics

The title key intermediate has been synthetised via a cyclopentane derivative , as a chiral source, readily derived from (−)-carvone

Chiral synthesis of the key intermediate for 1β-methylcarbapenem antibiotics starting from (–)-carvone

A stereoselective synthesis of the key intermediate for the preparation of 1β-methylcarbapenem antibiotics was achieved by using a cyclopentanone derivative, easily derived from (–)-carvone, as a starting material.

Concise enantiospecific synthesis of the key intermediate for heteroyohimbine alkaloids: formal synthesis of ajmalicine and 19-epi-ajmalicine

Concise enantiospecific synthesis of the key intermediate for ajmalicine 1 and 19-epi-ajmalicine 2 has been achieved starting from a chiral cyclopentanone derivative, easily derived from (–)-carvone.
