Two new sesquiterpene alcohols have been isolated from the aerial parts of Jasonia glutinosa D. C. The structure of these sesquiterpenes were characterized by 1D and 2D NMR techniques (DQCOSY. TOCSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC) as (11R)-eudesm-4-en-11,12-diol and (11R)-eudesmane-5alpha, 11,12-triol.

A multi-phase flow strategy, based on oscillatory motion of a bi-phasic slug within a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) tubular reactor, under inert atmosphere, is designed and developed to address mixing and mass transfer limitations associated with continuous slug flow chemistry platforms for studies of bi-phasic catalytic reactions. The technique is exemplified with C-C and C-N Pd catalyz...

Polyfluorinated telomer alcohols and sulfonamides are classes of compounds recently identified as precursor molecules to the perfluorinated acids detected in the environment. Despite the detection and quantification of these volatile compounds in the atmosphere, their sources remain unknown. Both classes of compounds are used in the synthesis of various fluorosurfactants and incorporated in pol...

A highly efficient photomediated atom transfer radical polymerization protocol is reported for semi-fluorinated acrylates and methacrylates. Use of the commercially available solvent, 2-trifluoromethyl-2-propanol, optimally balances monomer, polymer, and catalyst solubility while eliminating transesterification as a detrimental side reaction. In the presence of UV irradiation and ppm concentrat...

Aberrant glycosylation of lipid and protein molecules on cellular surfaces is responsible for many of the pathophysiological events in tumor progression and metastasis. Sialic acids in particular, are overexpressed on the glycocalyx of malignant tumor cells and sialic acid-mediated cell adhesion is required for metastasis. We report here that replacement of sialic acids on cell surfaces with fl...

New biphasic conditions for the palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of electron-poor fluorinated arenes have been developed. Taking advantage of biphasic chemistry, the use of an immiscible mixture of water and an organic solvent allows complete solubilization of all components of the system, enabling the reaction to proceed at room temperature in yields up to 99%.

Abstract Oxamates as building blocks play an important role in organic and bioorganic chemistry well coordination material sciences. In this paper, we present new fluorinated derivatives, which are synthesized from selected primary amines R F NH 2 (R =CH CF 3 , CH CHF CH(CF ) CH(CH )CF or their hydrochlorides ethyl oxalylchloride. Since oxamates can be considered 1,2 diketones, investigated pro...

Gemcitabine is a fluorinated nucleoside currently administered against a number of cancers. It consists of a cytosine base and a 2-deoxy-2,2-difluororibose sugar. The synthetic challenges associated with the introduction of the fluorine atoms, as well as with nucleobase introduction of 2,2-difluorinated sugars, combined with the requirement to have an efficient process suitable for large scale ...
