Synthetic studies on the DEF-rings of FR182877 and hexacyclinic acid
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of model DEF-rings of the polyketide anti tumor natural products FR182877 and hexacyclinic acid has been achieved, using an intramolecular Pd(0) catalyzed allylic substitution reaction, which was used to generate a 9-membered carbocycle, and a novel transannular iodocyclization reaction which furnished the DF-rings.
Journal ArticleDOI
1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of levoglucosenone
TL;DR: The cycloaddition reactions of levoglucosenone with various 1,3-dipoles have been examined in this article, yielding isoxazoline 2a as the major product.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, aza-thioether crowns [15]ane(phen N2)S3 and [19]ane (phen N 2)S4 have been synthesised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platinum metal thioether macrocyclic complexes: synthesis, electrochemistry, and single-crystal X-ray structures of cis-[RhCl2L2]PF6 and trans-[RhCl2L3]PF6(L2= 1,4,8,11 -tetrathiacyclotetradecane, L3= 1,5,9,13-tetrathiacyciohexadecane)
TL;DR: In this paper, the trans isomer has not been detected spectroscopically in reactions of RhIII with L1 and L2; the tendency of these ligands to co-ordinate to second-and third-row transition-metal ions to form cis complexes is ascribed to the large radii of these metal ions relative to the cavity size of the 12-and 14-membered rings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis, characterization and molecular structures of two mixed metal octahedral carbido clusters, Ru5RhC(CO)14(η5-C5Me5) and Ru5RhC(CO)9(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C5H5)2

TL;DR: In this article, the dianionic ruthenium cluster [Ru 5 C(CO 14 ] 2− and the dicationic rhodium species [Rh(C 5 Me 5 )MeCN) 3 ] 2+ in refluxing CH 2 Cl 2 yields the hexanuclear mixed metal carbido cluster Ru 5 RhC(CO) 14 (η 5 -C 5 ME 5 ) (1 ).
