Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and structural systematics of new triorganophosphinecopper(I) poly(pyrazol-1-yl)borate complexes

TL;DR: In this article, a number of bis-(trialkyl- and triaryl-phosphine) copper derivatives containing anionic bis-, tris- and tetrakis-(pyrazol-1-yl)borates were prepared from CuCl, [CuBr(Me2S)] or [Cu(C6H6)0.5(O3SCF3)]2, R3P (R3P) or R′Ph2P(R′=methyl or ethyl), and M[HnB(pz)
Journal ArticleDOI

Inspiration from Old Dyes: Tris(stilbene) Compounds as Potent Gram‐Positive Antibacterial Agents

TL;DR: Two related compounds, each bearing carboxylic acid moieties, exhibit good activity against several bacterial strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA, highlighting the value of tris(stilbene) compounds as antibacterial agents providing suitable properties for further development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric\ Synthesis of Chiral Cyclic Amino Acids by Diels-Alder Reactions of (2S)- and (2R)-4-Methyleneoxazolidin-5-ones

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of chiral (2S)- and (2R)-4-methyleneoxazolidin-5-ones, in high enantiomeric purity from (S)-S- methylcysteine, and their highly exo-selective Diels-Alder reactions with cyclic dienes are described.
