Mohan Padmanaban,Luísa Carvalho,Desislava Petkova,Ji-Woong Lee,A. Sofia Santos,M. Manuel B. Marques,Nuno Maulide +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of the electrophilic rearrangement of amides to the preparation of α-prenyl-hydrocoumarins, indoles, isoquinolines and dihydro-isoquinolinones is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2‐Enabled Cyanohydrin Synthesis and Facile Iterative Homologation Reactions**
TL;DR: The use of carbon dioxide is reported to be used to accelerate cyanohydrin synthesis under neutral conditions with an insoluble cyanide source (KCN) without generating toxic HCN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homocoupling Reactions of Azoles and Their Applications in Coordination Chemistry.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize recent advances in homocoupling reactions of pyrazoles and other types of azoles (imidazoles, triazoles and tetrazoles) to highlight the utility of such reactions in synthesizing symmetric bi-heteroaryl systems compared with traditional synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 (De)Activation in Carboxylation Reactions: A Case Study Using Grignard Reagents and Nucleophilic Bases
TL;DR: In this article, the reactivity of CO2 to nucleophilic bases has constituted an appealing characteristic for applications such as CO2 capture and function selection, and it has been used for CO2 removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
A CO2-Catalyzed Transamidation Reaction.
TL;DR: In this article, the use of CO2 as a traceless catalyst for transamidation of peptide modification and polymer degradation has been investigated in the presence of catalytic amounts of CO 2, with primary, secondary and tertiary amide donors.
