TL;DR: 6/6,7-Substituted-3-formylchromones (8a-g) were reacted with 2 equivalents thiobenzamide in refluxing toluene to furnish substituted-3-(5-phenyl-3H-[1,2,4]dithiazol- 3-yl)chromen-4-ones (10a-G) in high yields.

TL;DR: In this paper, all-carbon 1,3-dipoles derived from allenic esters/ketones, by catalytic interaction with triphenylphosphine, undergo an unusual [8 + 2] annelation with tropone, leading to 8-oxa-9-(ethoxycarbonyl/acylalkylidene)bicyclo[5.3.0]deca-1,3,5-trienes.

TL;DR: The N-methylanilino group in 2-(Nmethylonilino)-3-formylchromones, obtained in high yield by rearrangement of C(4-oxo-4H[1]-benzopyran-3-yl)-N-phenylnitrones to 2-anilino-3 -formyl-chromones followed by N-methylation, undergoes facile nucleophilic substitution by a variety of nitrogen nucleophiles, thereby paving the way for synthesis of novel 2-substituted

TL;DR: Privileged substructures are believed to achieve this through the mimicry of common protein surface elements that are responsible for binding, such as β- and gamma;-turns.
Abstract: Privileged substructures are of potentially great importance in medicinal chemistry. These scaffolds are characterized by their ability to promiscuously bind to a multitude of receptors through a variety of favorable characteristics. This may include presentation of their substituents in a spatially defined manner and perhaps also the ability to directly bind to the receptor itself, as well as exhibiting promising characteristics to aid bioavailability of the overall molecule. It is believed that some privileged substructures achieve this through the mimicry of common protein surface elements that are responsible for binding, such as β- and gamma;-turns. As a result, these structures represent a promising means by which new lead compounds may be identified.

TL;DR: The Diels-Alder reaction has both enabled and shaped the art and science of total synthesis over the last few decades to an extent which has yet to be eclipsed by any other transformation in the current synthetic repertoire as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Diels-Alder reaction has both enabled and shaped the art and science of total synthesis over the last few decades to an extent which, arguably, has yet to be eclipsed by any other transformation in the current synthetic repertoire. With myriad applications of this magnificent pericyclic reaction, often as a crucial element in elegant and programmed cascade sequences facilitating complex molecule construction, the Diels-Alder cycloaddition has afforded numerous and unparalleled solutions to a diverse range of synthetic puzzles provided by nature in the form of natural products. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Alder's birth, selected examples of the awesome power of the reaction he helped to discover are discussed in this review in the context of total synthesis to illustrate its overall versatility and underscore its vast potential which has yet to be fully realized.

TL;DR: It has become increasingly apparent that the behavior of Lewis bases as agents for promoting chemical reactions is not merely as an electronic complement of the cognate Lewis acids: in fact Lewis bases are capable of enhancing both the electrophilic and nucleophilic character of molecules to which they are bound.
Abstract: The legacy of Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875-1946) pervades the lexicon of chemical bonding and reactivity. The power of his concept of donor-acceptor bonding is evident in the eponymous foundations of electron-pair acceptors (Lewis acids) and donors (Lewis bases). Lewis recognized that acids are not restricted to those substances that contain hydrogen (Bronsted acids), and helped overthrow the "modern cult of the proton". His discovery ushered in the use of Lewis acids as reagents and catalysts for organic reactions. However, in recent years, the recognition that Lewis bases can also serve in this capacity has grown enormously. Most importantly, it has become increasingly apparent that the behavior of Lewis bases as agents for promoting chemical reactions is not merely as an electronic complement of the cognate Lewis acids: in fact Lewis bases are capable of enhancing both the electrophilic and nucleophilic character of molecules to which they are bound. This diversity of behavior leads to a remarkable versatility for the catalysis of reactions by Lewis bases.
