Trifluoromethyl vinyl sulfide, a potential building block for pharmaceutically and agrochemically relevant products, is prepared and used for the first time in high-pressure-mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with nitrones to synthesize (trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl isoxazolidines.

Polymeric building blocks containing terminal azide and alkyne functionalities are prepared via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and used to modularly synthesize block copolymers via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, which are quantitative according to SEC measurements.

The synthesis of three acetylene functionalized BODIPY dyes is described. These dyes are used to fluorescently modify an azido functionalized epoxomicin analogue employing the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, resulting in a panel of fluorescent epoxomicin derived proteasome probes.

A new protocol for synthesizing different functionalized isoxazoles is provided. Carbamoylnitrile oxide generated from nitroisoxazolone underwent inverse electron-demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of magnesium acetate that formed magnesium enolate in situ. Although electron-deficient trifluoroacetoacetate did not undergo this cycloaddition under the ...

For the first time, arylmethylidene cyclohexanones that are non-symmetrical due to the presence of peripheral substituents were studied in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. It is shown that the interaction with the azomethine ylide generated from sarcosine proceeds regio- and diastereoselectively, with the participation of two non-equivalent parts of the dipolarophile. Also for the first tim...

A highly efficient and mild method for azido glycosylation of glycosyl β-peracetates to 1,2-trans glycosyl azides was developed by using inexpensive FeCl(3) as the catalyst. In addition, we demonstrated, for the first time, that FeCl(3) in combination with copper powder can promote 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (click chemistry) of azido glycosides with terminal alkynes. Good to excellent yields we...

Ultrasound irradiation can promote the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 2-chloropyridinium ylides with 2-benzylidenemalononitrile or 2,2'-(1,4-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))dimalononitrile, to afford the indolizine and bis-indolizine derivatives respectively. While the reaction of pyridinium ylides with 2-benzylidenemalononitrile or 2,2'-(1,4-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))dimalononitrile u...

[reaction: see text] A general strategy for highly enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diazoesters to beta-substituted, alpha-substituted, and alpha,beta-disubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated pyrazolidinone imides is described. Cycloadditions utilizing less reactive alpha,beta-disubstituted dipolarophiles require elevated reaction temperatures, but still provide the corresponding pyraz...

Computational chemistry is used to study a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between an azide and an alkyne inside the macrocycle cucurbit[6]uril, in order to elucidate the catalytic function of a highly efficient supramolecular catalyst.

Trifluoromethylated pyrrolidines have been synthesized via catalytic asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with excellent stereoselectivity for the first time. Epimerization of the endo-pyrrolidines obtained from cis-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonate into the exo-pyrrolidines was also revealed.
