TL;DR: Isoazolidines are reductively cleaved to 1,3-amino alcohols by reacting with Mo(CO)6 and water as mentioned in this paper. Reaction conditions are simple, mild and selective giving good yields of highly functionalized products with complete retention of configuration of the stereocenters.

TL;DR: A new class of readily accessible chiral amino-phosphine precatalysts derived from 9-amino(9-deoxy) epicinchona alkaloids has been developed and performed as effective cooperative Brønsted base/Lewis acid catalysts in the asymmetric aldol reaction of isocyanoacetate nucleophiles.

TL;DR: Synthese des composes du titre par cycloaddition de nitrones and de methylene cyclopropanes; transposition chimique par voie thermique des compositions obtenus as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Pd(0)-catalyzed reaction of vinyl triflates from N-alkoxycarbonyl lactams with different boron compounds has been studied and alkenylboronates and arylboronic acids required different reaction conditions, in particular the presence of Ag2O together with a base in anhydrous toluene and (dppf)PdCl2 as a catalyst, affording the corresponding 6-alkyl-N-alk

TL;DR: The scope of the work has been that of closely examining the role and effect of both the heteroatom and the heterocycle ring size on the outcome of the electrocyclization, as well as the torquoselectivity of this process.
