An evaluation and review of a structurally related group of fragrance materials.

The benzo[d]thiazole derivatives 4a–c were synthesized and used for the synthesis of thiophene 6a–f. They form arylhydrazone 8a–i which capable to pyridazine 9a–i 10a–i. latter compounds reacted with thioglycolic acid produce thiazole 12a–i 13a–i, respectively. 15a–c also produced from through their reactions elemental sulfur phenylisothiocyanate. Further heterocyclization 15a carried out deriv...

Column and thin-layer chromatographic systems employing silver nitrate-impregnated adsorbents are described for the separation of sterol acetates which differ in the number of double bonds in the steroid nucleus or side chain.

The electroreduction of aryl halides (bromides or chlorides) allows the coupling reaction with vinylic acetates, in the presence of 2,2-bipyridine and catalytic amounts of cobalt bromide, leading to styrene derivatives in good yields. q 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Benzylic acetates reacted with arylboronic acids in the presence of a DPEphos-[Pd(eta3-C3H5)Cl]2 catalyst when tert-amyl alcohol was used as a solvent, and the catalytic cross-couplings produced diarylmethanes in high yields (up to 94% isolated yield).

The aand /?-methyl glycosides (IV and V, respectively) of the antibiotic streptozotocin (I) have been synthesized. In addition, analogs involving epimeric changes at C2 (III) and C4 (II), and of two Q analogs, 3-/?-Dglucopyranosyl-1-methyl-l-nitrosourea (XXIII) and the corresponding Dgalactopyranosyl compound (XXV), together with their tetra-O-acetates (XXII and XXIV, respectively) have been pr...

a facile and efficient one-pot three-step process for the synthesis of 5-acetyl-2-imino-4-methylthiazoles via the cyclocondensation of 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone with various hydrazine or hydrazide derivatives in etoh has been developed. 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone itself has been synthesized as the intermediate from substitution reaction of thiocyanate with 3-chloroacetylacetone. better results...

Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic sulfonation of di-aryl-substituted allylic acetates with sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) in THF-H2O at room temperature was described. This method directly provided allylic sulfonic acids in up to excellent yield and enantioselectivity.
