An approach to β-D-2-aminotalose- and β-D-2-aminoidose-configured carbohydrate mimetics bearing a phenyl substituent is described. Unnatural divalent rigid p-terphenyl-linked C-aryl glycosides with 2.0 nm dimension are available using Suzuki cross-couplings. The key compound, a p-bromophenyl-substituted 1,2-oxazine, was prepared by a stereoselective [3 + 3]-cyclization of a D-isoascorbic acid-d...

Let G be a collineation group of a thick finite generalised hexagon or generalised octagon Γ. If G acts primitively on the points of Γ, then a recent result of Bamberg et al. shows that G must be an almost simple group of Lie type. We show that, furthermore, the minimal normal subgroup S of G cannot be a Suzuki group or a Ree group of type G2, and that if S is a Ree group of type F4, then Γ is ...

The presence in horse erythrocytes of a glycolipid composed of sphingosine, fatty acids, hexoses, and neuraminic acid was reported by Yamakawa and Suzuki (1). A similar product was isolated by Klenk and Lauenstein (2) from human erythrocytes; it contained galactosamine, but no neuraminic acid. Further studies by Klenk and Lauenstein (3) and by Yamakawa and Suzuki (4) and Matsumoto (5) showed th...

Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) express the development of mature synaptic connections in the upper neocortical laminae known to occur between 4 and 15 years of age. AEPs evoked by piano, violin, and pure tones were measured twice in a group of 4- to 5-year-old children enrolled in Suzuki music lessons and in non-musician controls. P1 was larger in the Suzuki pupils for all tones whereas P2 w...

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is one of the most often utilized reactions in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds and conjugated materials. In its most common form, the reaction joins two sp(2)-functionalized carbon atoms to make a biaryl or diene/polyene unit. These substructures are widely found in natural products and small molecules and thus the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling has be...

Methanolic reduction of [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] on a [Ni(2,5-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonate)2] metal organic framework gives rise to Pd(2+)/Pd(0) nanocomposites with Suzuki and carbonylative Suzuki heterogeneous catalytic activities.

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organoboron compounds and organic halides or triflates provides a powerful and general methodology for the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. Recently, this reaction has been called the Suzuki coupling, Suzuki reaction, or Suzuki–Miyaura coupling, although we never referred to it as such previously. In this review, this name will be used wi...
