Journal ArticleDOI

tert-Butoxide-mediated arylation of benzene with aryl halides in the presence of a catalytic 1,10-phenanthroline derivative.

TL;DR: Sodium tert-butoxide mediates the coupling of aryl halides with benzene derivatives without the aid of transition metal catalysts but with a catalytic 1,10-phenanthroline derivative.
Journal ArticleDOI

Indium-catalyzed annulation of 2-aryl- and 2-heteroarylindoles with propargyl ethers: concise synthesis and photophysical properties of diverse aryl- and heteroaryl-annulated[a]carbazoles.

TL;DR: The development of the annulation with a wide substrate scope provided a unique opportunity to evaluate photophysical properties of a series of aryl- and heteroaryl-annulated[a]carbazoles, which were found to emit purple to green light in the visible region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipoxygenase-catalyzed oxygenation of arachidonylethanolamide, a cannabinoid receptor agonist

TL;DR: High-performance liquid chromatography, ultraviolet and mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated that the lipoxygenases, which had been shown previously to be capable of oxygenating esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids, were also active with the arachidonylethanolamide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-alkylamino acids by asymmetric aldol reaction of α-isocyanocarboxylates catalyzed by chiral ferrocenylphosphine-gold(I) complexes

TL;DR: Aldol reaction of methyl α-isocyanocarboxylates (CNCH(R)COOMe: R = H, Me, Et, i -Pr) with benzaldehyde or acetaldehyde in the presence of 0.5-1.0 mol% of a chiral (aminoalkyl)ferrocenylphosphine-gold(I) complex gave optically active 4-methoxycarbonyl-4,5-dialkyl-2-oxazolines with high enantioselectivity in a quantitative
