In this study, we developed a one-pot one-step deracemization method for the production of various enantiomerically pure amines using two opposite enantioselective ω-TAs. Using this method, various aromatic amines were successfully converted to their (R)-forms (>99%) with good conversion.

cui nanoparticles as an expedient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of n-cyclohexyl-3-aryl-quinoxaline-2-amines in ethanol via a multi-component reaction are established. the products were separated from the catalyst simply by filtration. the catalyst could be recycled and reused for several times without noticeably decreasing the catalytic activity.

in this study, the synthesis of 4 h -chromenes of biological activity via a multicomponent reaction of dimedone, aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile catalyzed by glutamic acid as a catalyst was investigated. the structural features of the synthesized compounds were characterized by melting point, ir and 1 h nmr analysis. the catalyst being reported here is cheap, safe to handle and the whole p...

It has been over a half-century since Kornblum demonstrated the conversion of a primary nitroalkane to a carboxylic acid; addition of an amine results in carboxylic acid formation as well. We describe the formation of amides from terminal nitroalkanes in a two-step, one-pot reaction involving tandem halogenation/umpolung amide synthesis (UmAS).

Homogeneous, fluorescent, sugar-functionalized metallic dendrimers that contain varying numbers and types of monosaccharides have been prepared using a self-assembly process and have been shown to be highly efficient lectin sensors in turbidity assays.
