Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient tetrahydropyranyl and tetrahydrofuranyl protection/deprotection of alcohols and phenols with Al(OTf)3 as catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and efficient method for the conversion of alcohols and phenols into their corresponding THP and THF ethers at room temperature has been developed using 1 ǫ% aluminium triflate as catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminium triflate catalysed O-glycosidation: temperature-switched selective Ferrier rearrangement or direct addition with alcohols
TL;DR: A temperature-controlled mechanism switch between the Al(OTf)(3)-catalysed direct addition of alcohols or the Ferrier rearrangement reactions in some glycals is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of humic acid on the stability and aggregation kinetics of WO3 nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, physicochemical properties including size, hydrodynamic diameter, agglomeration rate, surface area, crystal structure, and surface charge were determined for WO3 using x-ray diffraction spectro...

TL;DR: A BioFocus DPI SoftFocus library of ∼35 000 compounds was screened against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in order to identify novel hits with antitubercular activity, leading to the identification of BCG_3193 andBCG_3827 as putative targets of the series with unknown function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminum Triflate Catalyzed Tandem Reactions of d-Galactal: Toward Chiral Benzopyrans, Chromenes, and Chromans
TL;DR: 3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal is selectively converted into 1-O -aryl-2-deoxy derivatives or chiral bridged benzopyrans under Al(OTf)3 catalysis, depending on reaction conditions.
