The phototriggered ring-opening polymerisation of l-lactide is demonstrated for the first time using a photocaged tetramethylguanidine. catalytic activity free guanidine was also investigated, showing it to be active δ-valerolactone and ε-caprolactone in presence thiourea cocatalyst.
The synthesis of aliphatic polycarbonates with a tuneable thermal-response is reported by ‘click-and mix’ approach.
The synthesis and post-polymerisation functionalisation of an epoxide-functional polycarbonate <italic>via</italic> the selective carbonate ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) trimethylenepropane oxirane ether (TMOC) monomer was investigated using a range organocatalysts.
A stereoselective total synthesis of (−)-cryptocaryol (<bold>1</bold>) is described. Key features the 17-step route include use three boron-mediated aldol reaction–reduction sequences to control all stereocenters and an Ando modification Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination that permitted installation <italic>Z</italic> double bond α-pyrone ring.
The first total synthesis of (−)-ericanone was achieved in 10 steps with a 16% overall yield from p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Notable features this stereocontrolled approach include Keck allylation to install the stereocenter at C3 and 1,5-anti aldol reaction hydroxyl group C7.
Abstract Photopolymerisation, oder in anderen Worten die Nutzung von Licht als Auslöser einer Polymerisationsreaktion, ist eine der vielversprechendsten Technologien zur Herstellung anspruchsvoller Polymere. Eine Schlüsselkomponenten Photopolymerisation photoaktive Spezies. Diese Lage, durch Absorption aktive Verbindung zu generieren, welche Polymerisation Monomere einleitet und einen großen Einfluss auf Eigenschaften des finalen Produkts hat. In Vergangenheit war das Forschungsfeld...
The natural product (+)-cryptocaryol A is an α-pyrone containing a 1,3-polyol moiety that wasisolated in 2011 from the trees of Cryptocarya sp.(Figure 1). This compound able to stabilizePdcd4 (programmed cell death 4), tumorsuppressor protein inhibits transformation,migration, and invasion cancer cells vitro.This work aims synthesis C7−C31 fragment of(−)-cryptocaryol A.
