Novel palladium-catalyzed reactions of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with N,N-diprotected allylamines are presented. The reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with N,N-(Boc)(2) allylamine allows for an easy approach to cinnamylamines whereas using 2-alkynyl-N-(allyl)trifluoroacetanilides and 2-iodo-N-(allyl)trifluoroacetanilide the reaction provides a useful tool for appending indol...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of the primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols over nanoscale (1 0 0) surface of defect spinel γ-alumina was investigated with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) at BLYP/DNP level of calculation. The influence of different substituents including alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl and aryl were analyzed for free and adsorbed alcohols to shed light the adsorp...

A SH-selective allylation method using [CpRu(2-quinolinecarboxylato)(eta(3)-C(3)H(5))]PF(6) has been realized in various solvents including aqueous media to give allyl sulfides and allyl S-thioates, demonstrating the potential applicability to lipopeptide chemistry.

2-Allyl-substituted thiophenes and furans are synthesised efficiently in a direct procedure using 2-heteroaryllithium reagents and allyl bromides and chlorides catalysed by ligand-free copper(i). The reactions take place under mild conditions, with excellent α-selectivity, high functional group tolerance and good yields for the SN2 products.

A novel and efficient approach to 3-allyl-chromones from alkynones and allylic alcohols via a tandem Michael addition-Claisen rearrangement-O-arylation reaction has been developed. Diversely structural 3-allyl-chromones were afforded in up to 93% yield for 24 examples. This synthetic strategy is regiospecific, highly efficient, environment friendly and metal-free.

To All(oc) involved: A palladium-catalyzed formal 5-endo-trig heteroannulation of enones generated in situ from amino acid derived β-keto nitriles has been realized (see scheme; Alloc=allyl carbamate). The reaction proceeds with allyl-group transfer from the carbamate protecting group to generate two new contiguous stereocenters, including one quaternary center, with high selectivity.

overdose of acetaminophen causes severe hepatic necrosis in humans and experimental animals. studies on its hepatotoxicity remain a very active area since some of current data are still uncertain. in this study, freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were used to determine the effects of garlic extract and its component, allicin on the acetaminophen-induced cell cytotoxicity and to compare with the e...
