We herein report the first enantioselective syntheses of immunosuppressants (+)-dalesconol A and B in a highly efficient and concise manner, which features an efficient palladium-catalyzed enantioselective dearomative cyclization-kinetic resolution cascade to install the chiral all-carbon quaternary center, an effective sterically hindered Stille coupling, a powerful 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,...

The charge-transfer (CT) complexes of some N-arylcarbamates as donors with a number of 7r-acceptors have been studied spectrophotometrically. The Lewis basicities of the N-arylcarbamates as well as the types of interactions are discussed. The 'H-NMR spectra of some CT complexes with both 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) indicate a decrease o...

This paper describes a two-stage method to generate test sets for I testing and to determine the leakage DDQ fault coverage for given test pattern sets. The method has been integrated within a fault simulator. Furthermore, it will be proved that any complete test pattern set generated for stuck-at faults detects all leakage faults caused by intra-gate shorts within a static CMOS circuit if the ...

The use of a combination of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and β-pinene permits the removal of 2-naphthylmethyl (Nap) ether protecting groups on highly sensitive substrates. The reaction tolerates both acid and base sensitive protecting groups, and products are afforded in 68-96% yield. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the removal of the Nap protecting groups on hig...

Seven drugs viz., Paroxetine, Famotidine, Quetiapine, Dextromethorphan, Levofloaxacin, Irbesartan and Itraconazole were tested for the formation of charge transfer complexes with DDQ and the interaction formed a basis for spectrophotometric determination of the drugs. Acetonitrile was found to be suitable solvent for the analysis. The methods have been validated in terms of ICH guidelines The c...

A series of β,β'-bicyclo-3,5-diaryl-BODIPYs were synthesized from the corresponding β,β'-bicyclo-3,5-diiodo-BODIPYs (1a,b) via Pd(0)-mediated Suzuki cross-coupling reactions in 82-92% yields. Subsequent aromatization with DDQ afforded the corresponding β,β'-dibenzo-aryl-BODIPYs, which showed red-shifted absorptions and emissions in the near-IR range. The dibenzo-appended BODIPYs showed characte...

The first metalated porphyrazinediols 11 have been prepared from (L)-(+)-dimethyl tartrate via conversion into the corresponding dispoke or 2,3-dimethoxy-2,3-butanediyl protected 2,3-dihydroxymaleonitrile, Linstead macrocyclization, transmetalation, and deprotection. Their stability is very dependent on the nature of the metal ion in the cavity of the porphyrazine. Reaction of these porphyrazin...
