Gold-catalyzed syntheses of 2,3-disubstituted indole derivatives from N-hydroxyanilines and allenes are described; these reactions require benzaldehyde as an additive to generate nitrones in situ. Our control experiments indicate that nitrones and water were indispensable in the reactions whereas N-hydroxyanilines alone were inactive nucleophiles. This synthetic method is compatible with allene...

The structure of 1,4-diphenylpiperazine (1) was determined; it crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, a = 8.6980(7), b = 8.4287(7), c = 17.6359(15), V = 1292.94(19), Z = 4. Three novel N,N0-disubstituted piperazines were synthesized via reductive amination of piperazine or N-diphenylmethylpiperazine. The products were characterized by NMR and X-ray crystallography. 1,4Diphenethylpip...

We determined the in vitro susceptibility of four aminoglycosides, which are not of the 4,6-disubstituted deoxystreptamine (DOS) subclass against a collection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). CRE clinical strains (n = 134) were collected from multiple hospitals in China and carried blaNDM (blaNDM-1, blaNDM-5 or blaNDM-7; n = 66), blaKPC-2 (n = 62) or blaIMP-4 (n = 7; including ...

The first access to N-1, N-4 disubstituted pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazoles is reported. series were generated using a “one-pot” MCR, leading single regioisomer of the attempted heteroaromatic skeleton in good yields. Next, functionalization C-5 and C-6 positions was investigated. (Het)aryl groups introduced at regioselective electrophilic brominations followed by Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling re...

Mixtures of 2,4- and 2,5-disubstituted zirconacyclopentadienes were obtained by the reductive dimerisation of terminal alkynes using the Cp2ZrCl2/lanthanum system. Reactions of dihalophosphines with these mixtures afforded selectively the corresponding 2,4-disubstituted phospholes and 1,4-disubstituted butadienes. A new series of phospholes was characterized by multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy an...
