Journal ArticleDOI

Carboalumination of 1-alkynes and in situ transmetalation to higher order cyanocuprates. Stereospecific synthesis of tri- and disubstituted olefins by conjugate addition to enones

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the selective cleavage of a benzodioxole (methylenedioxy group) to a methoxyphenol through the use of a p-methylthiophenoxide ion is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new ligand scaffold for catalytic asymmetric alkylzinc additions to aldehydes.

TL;DR: N-[2-(4-Isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)cyclohexyl]methanesulfonamide (6) is particularly well suited for the addition of alkylzinc reagents to aliphatic aldehydes in high enantiomeric excess.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contributions of academic laboratories to the discovery and development of chemical biology tools.

TL;DR: Five projects that emanated from academic research groups and generated valuable tool compounds that have been used to interrogate biological phenomena, including reactive oxygen species sensors, GPR30 agonists and antagonists, selective CB2 agonists, Hsp70 modulators, and β-amyloid PET imaging agents are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water-accelerated tandem Claisen rearrangement-catalytic asymmetric carboalumination.

TL;DR: The addition of stoichiometric quantities of water accelerates both the trimethylaluminum-mediated aromatic Claisen reaction and the chiral zirconocene-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of terminal alkenes.
