β-Lactams: Versatile Building Blocks for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Non-β-Lactam Products
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting [2+2] cycloaddition chemistry: achievements with allenes
TL;DR: This critical review focuses on the most recently developed [2+2] cycloadditions on allenes along with remarkable early works accounting for the mechanism, the regio- and diastereoselectivity of the cycloadducts formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grubbs' ruthenium-carbenes beyond the metathesis reaction: less conventional non-metathetic utility.
TL;DR: When trienyne 421 was subjected to ring-closing metathesis reaction conditions using the second-generation Grubbs’ catalyst Ru-2, an unusual nonmetathetic activity was observed, with the cycloisomerization product being obtained as the major product.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beta-lactams as versatile synthetic intermediates for the preparation of heterocycles of biological interest.
Benito Alcaide,Pedro Almendros +1 more
TL;DR: The aim in this Review is to highlight the state of the art in this endeavour, consisting of the stereocontrolled synthesis of fused polycyclic beta-lactams of antibacterial interest, or stereoselective synthesis of different sized heterocycles of biological significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Aldol Reaction
Benito Alcaide,Pedro Almendros +1 more
TL;DR: It is noteworthy that a variety of aldehydes, including hexanal, can be utilized for the current direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction, and the use of this new heteropolymetallic asymmetric catalyst has realized a diastereoselective and enantioselectives aldl reaction using cyclopentanone for the first time.
