The enantioselective synthesis of pyrazol-3-ones has not been extensively studied in organic synthesis. Here in we report the first asymmetric addition of pyrazolones to maleimides catalyzed by bifunctional thiourea catalysts.

A gold-catalyzed cyclization of immobilized 2-alkynylanilines was developed as the key step in the synthetic sequence for the preparation of 2-substituted indoles. These results demonstrate the potential of the unexplored combination of gold catalysis and solid-phase organic synthesis.

The current interest in solid-phase organic synthesis has led to a renewed interest in a complementary technique in which solid supported reagents are used in solution phase chemistry. This technique obviates the need for attachment of the substrate to a solid-support, and enables the chemist to monitor the reactions using familiar analytical techniques. The purpose of this review is to increas...

Benzimidazole and its derivatives are used in organic synthesis and they are used in evaluating new product that possesses different biological activities. This review article covers the most active benzimidazole derivatives that have shown considerable biological actions such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, antioxidant, radioprotective and anti-...

The orthopalladated complexes are among the most representative Pd(II) compounds. They display a wide prospect of applications, but they are mainly known by their use as intermediates in metal-mediated organic synthesis. In this review we describe how palladacycles are used to build up new molecules through regioselective formation of C-halogen, C-O, C-N, C-P, C-S and C-C bonds, either under ca...

In this Account, we describe the development of stereospecific, stereoselective, regioselective, and chemoselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions of silacyclopropanes that occur under mild conditions. By appropriate choice of metal salt catalyst, the regiochemistry of these reactions may be tuned to give the desired product. Stereoselective nucleophilic substitution reactions and stereos...

The development of new catalytic asymmetric reactions can lead to exciting new strategies for organic synthesis. This article describes the synthetic utility of the combined C-H activation/Cope rearrangement, achieved by dirhodium tetraprolinate-catalyzed reaction of vinyldiazoacetates with compounds containing allylic C-H bonds. The transformation is highly diastereoselective and enantioselect...

This critical review targets as a readership researchers generally oriented toward organic synthesis and in particular those active in heterocyclic chemistry. Diazines and benzo derivatives can undergo deprotonative metalation provided that the base is properly chosen. Metalation reactions of a large range of substrates can be performed using hindered lithium dialkylamides such as lithium 2,2,6...

N-Acylsulfonamide safety-catch linkers are versatile tools in solid-phase organic synthesis because of their stability. This stability necessitates linker activation prior to compound cleavage. Here, we demonstrate that the N-acylsulfonamide group can react with a pi-allyl palladium complex and that these mild and neutral conditions can be exploited for linker activation. The advantages of this...
