1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction of Dibenzalaceton with Non-stabilized Azomethinylides: Synthesis of New Spirooxindolo(pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines)

1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1 mol or 2 mol of dibenzalaceton with 1 mol of non-stabilized azomethinylides generated in situ by decarboxylative condensation of isatin and proline or sarcosine give the novel new spiro-oxindolo(pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines) instead of bis-spirooxindolo( pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines).

A Three-Component 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction of Azomethine Ylide for Synthesis of New Bis-spiro-oxindolo(pyrrolizidines/pyrrolidines) Derivatives

The development of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) designed to produce elaborate biologically active compounds has become an important area of research in organic, combinatorial, and medicinal chemistry. A comparative study of the synthesis of new bis-spiro-oxindolo(pyrrolizidines/pyrrolidines) ring systems by the cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated by a decarboxylative route from sarc...

A genetically encoded multifunctional unnatural amino acid for versatile protein manipulations in living cells.

The genetic code expansion strategy allowed incorporation of unnatural amino acids (UAAs) bearing diverse functional groups into proteins, providing a powerful toolkit for protein manipulation in living cells. We report a multifunctional UAA, Nε-p-azidobenzyloxycarbonyl lysine (PABK), that possesses a panel of unique properties capable of fulfilling various protein manipulation purposes. In add...
