Introduction of highly reactive vinyl ether moieties along a poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG) backbone has been realized by copolymerization of the novel epoxide monomer ethoxy vinyl glycidyl ether (EVGE) with ethylene oxide (EO). A series of copolymers with va ...
A series of poly(ethylene glycol-co-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether) (P(EO-co-IGG)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units was synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis a new type of "function ...
Enol phosphinates and phosphonates can be readily prepared from simple lactams in high yields and are both stable and storable. Both these substrates can be employed successfully in homogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura and Stille cross-couplings protocols. Additiona ...
A mild and general method for the selective cleavage of anti-1,3-acetonides has been developed for the differentiation of 1,3-anti and 1,3-syn diols in long chain polyolic fragments. The diluted acidic conditions applied to these systems are compatible wit ...
Sulphur dioxide reacts with 1-oxydienes generating zwitterions which are quenched by enoxysilanes to form substituted silyl alkenylsulfinates. These intermediates are desilylated with Bu4NF and the resulting sulfinates react with MeI giving the correspondi ...
