Rice University scientists have given organic chemists a boost with their latest discovery of a one-step method to add nitrogen to compounds for drugs, pesticides, fertilizers and other products ...

Modular synthesis of polycyclic ring expansion substrates. The requisite polycyclic enol ether and enamine substrates for ring expansion were synthesized as shown in Figure 2.Cyclic ketones 6 were ...

Herein, we report a formal synthesis of (±)-englerin A (1) via regio- and diastereoselective [4+3] cycloaddition between the 2,5-disubstituted furan and formyl enol silyl ethers, which possesses ...

Poly(β-keto enol ether) Prepared by Three-Component Polycondensation of Bis(diazoketone), Bis(1,3-diketone), and Tetrahydrofuran: Mild Acid-Degradable Polymers To Afford Well-Defined Low ...

The resulting polymer, poly(β-keto enol ether), was highly sensitive to mild acidic conditions and degraded into a combination of well-defined low molecular weight compounds.

This course aims to provide deepened and widened knowledge of concepts, reactivity, and synthesis in organic chemistry. It encompasses: carbonyl/enol/enolate chemistry, frontier molecular orbital ...

Being able to synthesize azulenes from readily available 2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one derivatives and silyl enol ether is a great step forward in practical applications.
