Journal ArticleDOI
Photooxygenation of Furylalkylamines: Easy Access to Pyrrolizidine and Indolizidine Scaffolds.
Dimitris Kalaitzakis,Myron Triantafyllakis,Manolis Sofiadis,Dimitris Noutsias,Georgios Vassilikogiannakis +4 more
TL;DR: A highly adaptable method targeting the ubiquitous and very important pyrrolizidine and indolizidine scaffolds is presented and its application to the rapid and easy synthesis of five natural products starting from readily accessible alkylfuran precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
One‐Pot Transformation of Simple Furans into 4‐Hydroxy‐2‐cyclopentenones in Water
Dimitris Kalaitzakis,Myron Triantafyllakis,Ioanna Alexopoulou,Manolis Sofiadis,Georgios Vassilikogiannakis +4 more
TL;DR: A highly efficient one-pot transformation of readily accessible furans into 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones in H2O, using singlet oxygen as oxidant, has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemoselective photooxygenations of furans bearing unprotected amines: their use in alkaloid synthesis.
TL;DR: Investigations are described, which have shown how basic and unprotected nitrogen functionalities can be included, problem-free, in the furan photooxidation step of singlet oxygen-initiated cascade reaction sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric and Site-Selective [3 + 2]-Annulations for the Synthesis of High-Value Bicyclic Lactams
Dimitris Kalaitzakis,Manolis Sofiadis,Myron Triantafyllakis,Konstantinos Daskalakis,Georgios Vassilikogiannakis +4 more
TL;DR: These organocatalysed transformations yield high value enantioenriched bicyclic γ-lactams with up to four new stereocenters (sometimes including a quarternary carbon).
Journal ArticleDOI
The reticent tautomer: exploiting the interesting multisite and multitype reactivity of 4-pyrrolin-2-ones
TL;DR: Innovative, fast and adaptable syntheses of the 4-pyrrolin-2-ones and their onward use via cascade reaction sequences are presented to complete the case for commending these compounds as highly versatile and valuable synthetic building blocks.
