Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Diastereo‐ and Enantioselective Allylboration of Aldehydes Using α‐Substituted Allyl/Crotyl Pinacol Boronic Esters via in situ Generated Borinic Esters.
TL;DR: In this paper, an α-substituted allyl/crotyl pinacol boronic esters were found to have very high E/Z selectivity in reactions with aldehydes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of the Revised Structure of Acortatarin A.
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel Maillard-type condensation reaction between a primary amine derived from D-mannitol and a dihydropyranone was proposed for the synthesis of the unusual morpholine-spiroketal acortatarin A (I).
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of the Bis‐spiroacetal C25—C40 Moiety of the Antimitotic Agent Spirastrellolide B Using a Bis‐dithiane Deprotection/Spiroacetalisation Sequence.
TL;DR: The [5,6,6]-bis-spiroacetal moiety (II) of spirastrellolide B is prepared via a HgCl2-mediated double dithiane deprotection accompanied by a simultaneous bis-spiraacetalisation as a key step.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining catalysis and replication.
TL;DR: Two recent articles shed light on how metabolic characteristics may be incorporated into replicating systems, harnessing an external energy source to increase their rate of replication and acquiring catalytic activity.
