Enamides and enol ethers are valuable building blocks in synthetic chemistry, yet their stereoselective synthesis can be challenging. Herein, we report a new stereoselective synthesis of vinyl, aryl, alkynyl, alkyl and thio-substituted Z-enamides and enol ...
Many abundant and highly bioactive natural alkaloids contain an indolizidine skeleton. A simple, high yielding method to synthesize this scaffold from N-heterocycles was developed. A wide range of pyridines, quinolines and isoquinolines reacted with donor- ...
The stereoselective synthesis of new 3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine derivatives starting from D-mannose, D-ribose and L-fucose is presented. Two synthetic strategies employing organometallic addition to hemiacetalic sugars followed by selective nucleophilic disp ...
Efficient methods for the stereoselective synthesis of polyfunctional (E)- and (2)-alkenes and conjugated (EE)- and (E,2)-dienones are presented. They rely upon one-pot, four-component processes that condense 1-oxy-1,3-dienes, silyl enol ethers, SO2, and c ...
