trifluoromethylated organic compounds, especially chiral quaternary alcohols bearing trifluoromethyl group are of important intermediates in drugs, agrochemicals and etc.an efficient epoxidation of β-cf3-β,β-disubstituted unsaturated ketones (6) has been developed with environmental benign hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and f5-substituted chiral quaternary ammonium salt (1g or 5) derived from...

Competitive glycosylation experiments with a galactofuranosyl trichloroacetimidate donor were performed with glucosamine acceptors having a free 4-OH group and carrying different protecting groups at N-2, O-3, and O-6. The most reactive acceptor is the N-dimethylmaleimido 3,6-di-O-benzylated derivative (6c), which reacts even faster than the oxazolidinone 1a. Molecular orbital calculations have...

The intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of an azide with an alkyne has provided a useful entry into triazole fused tricyclic heterocycles containing both the triazole ring and the oxazolidin-2-one ring system. The requisite azido-alkynes have been prepared via a two-step sequence from fused ring aziridines. A series of 6-12 membered rings containing both the oxazolidinone and triazole rings ha...

Dioxygen-coupled oxidative amination of olefins is an attractive, but challenging, catalytic transformation. The present work describes the first general method for intermolecular oxidative amination of aryl olefins with molecular oxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. This palladium-catalyzed reactivity is compatible with several different nitrogen nucleophiles, including oxazolidinone, phthali...

(-)-Gephyrotoxin-223 was formally synthesized from chiral synthon 1 which has been chemoenzymatically synthesized  in the presence  of Candida Antartica lipase.        

in the first part of this work, correlation between optical activity and elements of magnetic susceptibility tensor (mst) for five classes of model small molecules containing a single chiral center has been studied using quantum computational techniques at dft-b3lyp level of theory with 6-311g basis set. several molecular properties are used to reduce the mst elements prior to the examination o...

In this paper, the propagation of electromagnetic waves through an infinite slab of uni- or bi- axial chiral medium is analytically formulated for an arbitrary incidence using 4×4 matrix method. In this powerful method, a state vector differential equation is extracted whose solution is given in terms of a transition matrix relating the tangential components of electric and magnetic fields at t...

Tedizolid, a novel oxazolidinone antibacterial with potent activity against a wide range of Gram-positive pathogens, was recently approved by regulatory authorities for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. A commercial broth microdilution device (Sensititre; Thermo Fisher Scientific) was validated using 285 selected Gram-positive isolates, and the device was docu...
