A guideline that determines the threshold dose for emergency department referral and need for pre-hospital decontamination could potentially avoid unnecessary emergency department visits, reduce health care costs, optimize patient outcome, and red...

Cascade Reaction of Camphor-Derived Diynes with Transition Metal Compounds

Platinum(II) catalyzes the isomerization of camphor sulfonamide diynes in a cascade reaction involving annulation of a five-membered ring to the camphor skeleton, ring-enlargement by C-C bond cleavage, reduction of sulfur(VI) to sulfur(IV), and oxidation of a hydroxy group to a ketone. The reactions of the diynes with other transition metal compounds were also studied. Copper, gold and rhenium ...
