A catalytic atroposelective cycloaddition reaction between thioureas and ynals is developed. This features the first NHC-catalyzed addition of to acetylenic acylazolium intermediates eventually set up C?N axial chirality with excellent optical purities. The obtained axially chiral thiazine derivative products bear multiple functional groups are feasible for further transformations.

We here identify by ab initio calculations a new type of three-dimensional (3D) carbon allotropes that consist of phenyl rings connected by linear acetylenic chains in sp+sp(2) bonding networks. These structures are constructed by inserting acetylenic or diacetylenic bonds into an all sp(2)-hybridized rhombohedral polybenzene lattice, and the resulting 3D phenylacetylene and phenyldiacetylene n...

caffeic acid phenethyl ester(cape) suppresses the growth of transformed cells such as human breast cancer cells, hepatocarcinoma , myeloid leukemia, colorectal cancer cells, fibrosarcoma, glioma and melanoma. a group of heterocyclic esters of caffeic acid was synthesized using mitsunobu reaction and the esters were subjected to further structural modification by electrooxidation of the catechol...

Three new 2-methoxy acetylenic acids (1-3) and a known derivative (4), in addition to three new natural pyrazole alkaloids (5-7) were isolated from an Indonesian marine sponge of the genus Cinachyrella. Compounds 5 and 6 have previously been reported as synthetic compounds. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy as well as ...

Hetaryl-substituted thiochalcones react with acetylenic monoand diesters in the THF solution in the presence of LiClO4 at 65°C to give, after 24h, 4H-thiopyran carboxylates and dicarboxylates, respectively, in moderate to good yields. The same reactions were performed also in the THF solution without a catalyst under microwave irradiation. In that case, the reaction time was reduced to three mi...
