Organometallic reactions in aqueous media with indium
Chen-Chen Li,Tak Hang Chan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, aldehydes and ketones were allylated with indium metal in aqueous media without the need of any promoter, and the reaction can be extended to the synthesis of 2-methylene-γ-lactone 6 via the condensation of carbonyl compounds with 2-bromomethylacrylate 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
A concise chemical synthesis of (+)-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid (KDN)
Tak Hang Chan,Chen-Chen Li +1 more
TL;DR: The sialic acid KDN was synthesized stereoselectively in three steps from Dmannose by taking advantage of an indium mediated coupling reaction in aqueous medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Various difunctionalizations of acrylamide: an efficient approach to synthesize oxindoles
TL;DR: This review concludes different difunctionalizations of acrylamide to synthesize oxindoles based on the mechanistic aspects to encourage further mechanistic studies hopefully leading to an in-depth understanding of this strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Umpolung of Carbonyl Groups as Alkyl Organometallic Reagent Surrogates for Palladium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation.
TL;DR: This strategy complements the palladium-catalyzed coupling of unstabilized nucleophiles with allylic electrophiles by providing an efficient and selective catalytic alternative to the traditional use of highly reactive alkyl organometallic reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct conversion of phenols into primary anilines with hydrazine catalyzed by palladium
TL;DR: A general and practical method to directly convert phenols into primary anilines with cheap and easy-to-handle hydrazine as the amine and hydride sources catalyzed by Pd/C.
