A one-pot, two step synthesis of highly substituted imidazoles has been carried out in good to excellent yields for the first time via a cascade intermolecular aza-SN2'-intramolecular aza-Michael addition involving a variety of Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates of nitroalkenes and amidines in the presence of DABCO at room temperature. The synthetic and biological utility of the products has been d...

An efficient three component one-pot method was developed to assemble 2-heteroaryl-2-aryl acetates via VNS(Ar)-S(N)Ar and VNS(Ar)-S(N) reaction by using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as general solvent.

In the RuCl2(p-cymene)/PPh3 catalysed regioselective allylic alkylation of monosubstituted allyl acetates with malonate anion, the selective substitution at the position originally substituted with acetate was observed.

A new and efficient approach to benzocycles from cyclopropene derivatives is described. Deprotection by organolithiums and subsequent ring-opening cyclization of the related 2-cyclopropenyl phenyl or benzyl acetates generated benzofurans and isochromenes in one pot.

Chiral ruthenium(II)-salen complexes [RuII(salen)(PPh3)2] catalyse asymmetric aziridination of alkenes with up to 83% ees, asymmetric amidation of silyl enol ethers with up to 97% ees, and allylic amidation of cholesteryl acetates with good regioselectivity.

Tandem rhodium-catalyzed oxidative allylation and annulation of acetanilides with allyl acetate to afford the corresponding indoles are described. In addition, the site-selective C2 allylation, crotylation and prenylation of indoles using allylic acetates under rhodium catalysis are reported.

This research study describes recent advances in understanding the effects of addition organic acids, such as acetic, lactic, citric and phytic on process plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) Ti using an alkaline bath. As developed over workpiece is central to determine particular morphological structural features growing oxide, focus then inter-relationships between electrolyte resultant regime...

Background: Rootstock is a viticultural practice used to combat the devastating Phylloxera vitifoliae (Fitch). Additionally, it well-known that wine aroma composition depends mainly on variety, viticulture management and winemaking; therefore, rootstocks can affect berry quality. This study evaluated influence of nine (110R, SO4, 196-17C, Riparia G, 161-49C, 420A, Gravesac, 3309C 41B) volatile ...

Gas-tight dense membranes of highly Sr-doped LaCoO, (such as the composition La,,, Sr 0,7 COO, chosen in this study) are difficult to prepare using usual synthesis processes. This report presents an aqueous sol-gel route using metal acetates as precursors to achieve this goal. Hydrogen peroxide and ammonia are added to the acetates precursor solution to obtain stable sol and xerogel, as well as...
