In this paper, an amine-triggered cascade SN2/cycloaddtion sequence between 2-(acetoxymethyl)buta-2,3-dienoate 1 and various π-system functionalized tosylamides 3 has been reported, which provides a f
Addition of bromoform to conjugated nitroalkenes in the presence of Mg provided β-tribromomethyl nitroalkanes in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. These novel Michael adducts, formed
A highly effective acid-catalyzed cyclopropyl ester to γ-lactone skeletal rearrangement has been demonstrated and applied to the synthesis of a variety of bi- and tricyclic functionalized lactones, ri
A photoinduced iron-catalyzed ipso-nitration of aryl halides with KNO2 has been developed, in which aryl iodides, bromides, and some of aryl chlorides are feasible. The mechanism investigations show t
Anthracyclines are archetypal representatives of the tetracyclic type II polyketide natural products that are widely used in cancer chemotherapy. Although the synthesis of this class of compounds has
