Computational and experimental studies offer fresh insights into the neglected tetravinylethylene class of compounds. Both the structures and the outcomes of exploratory reactions of the parent hydroc
The first total synthesis of the yellow pigment chalcitrin, a structurally distinct pulvinic acid dimer obtained from Chalciporous piperatus, has been achieved in 17 linear steps from commercially ava
In this research, we report the regioselective synthesis of methylene-bridged naphthalene oligomers from 2,6-dialkoxyl naphthanene and paraformaldehyde by using p-TsOH as the catalyst and CH2Cl2 as th
Optically active 2-C-trifluoromethylerythritols, analogues of 2-C-methylerythritol, which is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of isoprenoid with a mevalonate-independent route, were conveniently
An arylative ring expansion cascade has been developed for the synthesis of medium-sized carbocycles from fused cyclobutenes. This reaction proceeds through a short-lived cis,trans-cycloalkadiene inte
