A copper-catalyzed radical 1,2-aryl migration in α,α-diaryl allylic alcohols is developed, leading to β-silyl carbonyl compounds in moderate to good yields. The migration of aryls with lower aromaticity is favored. This procedure features the employment of silanes as commercially available materials.

A series of beta-(N-tosyl)amino diazo carbonyl compounds have been prepared by nucleophilic condensation of N-tosylimines with acyldiazomethanes. The diazo decomposition of these diazo carbonyl compounds under various catalytic conditions, including Rh(II) carboxylates, Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes, PhCO(2)Ag/Et(3)N, TsOH, and SnCl(2).2H(2)O, has been investigated. It was found that, in most case...

During the course of my research in asymmetric organocatalysis, inversion enantioselectivity was observed aldol reactions acetone with different aldehydes catalyzed by amphiphilic proline derivatives aqueous media varying only achiral components. It not possible to explain explored dual stereocontrol existing models, therefore I proposed a new mechanism for l-amino acid and explained phenomenon...

The title compound, C(10)H(11)ClN(2)O(2), features an almost planar C(ar)-N(H)-N=C(Cl) unit [torsion angle = 0.8 (1)° whose phenyl substituent is almost coplanar with it [dihedral angle = 2.8 (2)°]; this unit is slightly twisted with respect to the carboxyl -CO(2) fragment [dihedral angle = 10.3 (2)°]. In the crystal, the amino group acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to the carbonyl O atom of an ad...

In the title compound, C(32)H(28)F(2)N(2)O(2), the tetra-hydro-pyridine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The two fluoro-phenyl groups are attached to the tetra-hydro-pyridine ring in a trans orientation. The dihedral angle between the planes of the fluoro-substituted rings is 57.0 (1)°. The amino group and carbonyl O atom are involved in intra-molecular hydrogen bonding. In the crysta...

In the title compound, C(15)H(13)Cl(2)NOS, the benzene and thio-phene rings make a dihedral angle of 10.8 (1)°. The dimethyl-amino substituent and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group are almost coplanar with respect to the aromatic ring, forming dihedral angles of 4.73 (3)° and 5.0 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected into two-dimensional layers by weak C-H⋯Cl h...

The development of flavor and browning in thermally treated foods results mainly from the Maillard reaction and lipid degradation but also from the interactions between both reaction pathways. To study these interactions, we analyzed the volatile compounds resulting from model reactions of lysine or glycine with aldehydes originating from lipid oxidation [hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, or (2E,4E)-deca...

The title compound, C(14)H(19)NO(3), was prepared via the intra-molecular rearrangement of 3-(butanoyl-amino)-phenyl butano-ate in the presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride. The near coplanarity of the aromatic ring, the amide group and the carbonyl group of the butanoyl fragment [N-C-C-C = -179.65 (17) and O-C-C-C = -178.34 (17)°] results from the intra-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bo...

The title compound, C(20)H(16)Cl(2)N(4)O, has two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The two five-membered rings form a dihedral angle of 54.2 (3)° in one mol-ecule and 56.8 (3)° in the other independent mol-ecule. The amino group of the dihydro-pyrazolone unit of one mol-ecule acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to the carbonyl group of the dihydro-pyrazolone system of the other mol-ecule. The resul...

The title compound, C(14)H(11)N(3)O(3), adopts an E conformation, with a dihedral angle of 41.8 (1) ° between the mean planes of the two benzene rings. One of the amino H atoms forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the amide N atom, while the other H atom forms an inter-molecular hydrogen bond with the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent mol-ecule, forming dimers about inversion centers. A non...
