Metallacycle-Mediated Cross-Coupling in Natural Product Synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-pronged mechanistic study of the phosphine-mediated conjugate addition of an alcohol to an acetylenic ester
Rhonda L. Stoddard,Jingwei Luo,Nicole van der Wal,Natasha F. O’Rourke,Jeremy E. Wulff,J. Scott McIndoe +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conjugate addition of an alcohol to a butynoate ester using an organophosphine catalyst was monitored using PSI-ESI-MS, together with 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cascading radical cyclization of bis-vinyl ethers: mechanistic investigation reveals a 5-exo/3-exo/retro-3-exo/5-exo pathway.
TL;DR: Further mechanistic studies aimed at distinguishing between these two possibilities are described and conclude that the 5-exo/3- exo/retro-3-Exo pathway is dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
ISX-9 can potentiate cell proliferation and neuronal commitment in the rat dentate gyrus
Luis E.B. Bettio,Anna R. Patten,Joana Gil-Mohapel,Natasha F. O’Rourke,Ronan P. Hanley,Samantha Kennedy,Karthik Gopalakrishnan,Ana Lúcia S. Rodrigues,Jeremy E. Wulff,Brian R. Christie +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that administration of Isx-9 for 14days was able to potentiate cell proliferation and increase the number of immature neurons in the hippocampal DG of adult rats, demonstrating that Isx -9 is a promising synthetic compound for the mitigation of stress-induced deficits in adult hippocampal neurogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of quantitative structure–reactivity relationships in the aliphatic Claisen rearrangement of bis-vinyl ethers reveals a dipolar, dissociative mechanism
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the influence of the various substituent patterns on the rate of rearrangement in these compounds differs from that documented in the literature for the analogous [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of allyl vinyl ethers.
