A series of novel 5-substituted UDP-glucose derivatives with interesting fluorescent properties and potential applications as sensors for carbohydrate-active enzymes is reported. An efficient synthesis of the target molecules was developed, centred around the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of (hetero)arylboronic acids with 5-iodo UDP-glucose. Interestingly, the optimised cross-coupling conditions coul...

The remarkable catalytic effects of Fe(OTf)(3) in the context of the Pd(ii)-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to chromones were observed to yield a variety of flavanones under mild conditions. The addition of catalytic amounts of DDQ and KNO(2) to the reactions exclusively yielded flavone analogs. The reaction scope for the transformation was fairly broad, affording good yields ...

Indium-mediated allylation of aldehydes with 2-chloro-3-iodopropene, followed by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with triarylindium reagents or arylboronic acids, leads to aryl-substituted homoallylic alcohols in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivities. The products obtained from reactions conducted with d-glyceraldehyde acetonide can be transformed into 2-deoxy-beta-C...

Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of different aryl halides with arylboronic acids was successfully carried out in methanol using ortho-palladated complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine. All substrates afforded the corresponding products in good to high yields in the presence of low amounts of this complex as efficient and active catalyst. Application of microwave irradiation improved the yields of th...

The cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides (Suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new palladium catalyst (1-benzyl-3-(1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl) pyridin-1-ium palladium chloride [DBNT][PdCl4]) in poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-200) in the presence of KOH as the base. This new catalyst was synthesized and...

The cover feature image illustrates two mail devices, drones (representing sprayed microdroplets) and in-person bulk phase), to deliver a letter the Petasis reaction involving aldehydes, arylboronic acids amines) in sharply different efficiencies. This study supplies not only mild, efficient environmentally friendly methodology constructing aryl amines organic community but also useful derivati...
