acetal/dichloromethane

The synthesis of novel acetal thia-cage compounds has been accomplished by the direct substitution for the oxygen atom by the sulfur atom in the reaction of the acetal groups of oxa-cages with Lawesson reagent (LR). Reaction of the tetraoxa-cage compound 2 with LR in dichloromethane at 25 degrees C

FeCl(3)6 H(2)O- and FeBr(3)-catalyzed Prins cyclization/halogenation of alkynyl aldehyde acetals has been realized with acetyl chloride or bromide as halogen source in dichloromethane to afford 2-(1-halobenzylidene or alkylidene)-substituted five-membered carbo- and heterocycles, and thus provides

The reactivity order of O-deisopropylidenation of the three isopropylidene protecting groups of 2',6'-di-O-benzyl-2,3:5,6:3',4'-tri-O-isopropylidenelactose dimethyl acetal (2) with various reagents was established. The 5,6-acetal group was, although to a limited extent, more reactive as compared

A remarkable effect of C-O-C bond angle strain on the regioselective double nucleophilic substitution of the acetal group of tetraacetal tetraoxa-cages and a novel regioselective and stereoselective hydride rearrangement of tetraoxa-cages are reported. Reaction of the tetraacetal tetraoxa-cages 1

The chemoselective allylation of acetals using allyltrimethylsilane in ionic liquids is catalyzed by TMS triflate (5.0-20.0 mol %). The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature to afford the corresponding homoallyl ether in good yield. Since the ionic liquids are easily recovered and recycled,

Trehalose dibenzylidene and substituted dibenzylidene acetals were reductively opened either at O6 or O4 in a regioselective manner by using a DIBAL stock solution prepared in toluene or dichloromethane, respectively, to achieve desymmetrization of the trehalose core. The method was applied to

Dioxolane type 3,4-benzylidene acetals of benzyl β-l-arabinose either as a mixture or pure exo- and endo-isomers cleavaged with BF(3)·OEt(2)/Et(3)SiH in dichloromethane or acetonitrile regioselectively, provided the 4-O-benzyl-3-hydroxy derivative. The reaction with TiCl(4)/Et(3)SiH or

The disaccharide building block benzyl O-(2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-[(R)-1-(methoxycarbonyl) ethylidene]-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1-->3)-2-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-[(S)-1- (methoxycarbonyl)ethylidene]-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (13), related to a Rhizobium exopolysaccharide, was prepared by coupling various

The reductive ring-opening reaction of benzylidene-protected glucosides and mannosides such as methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-d-glucoside (1) and methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-d-mannoside (4) by using a toluene stock solution of DIBAL-H and a dichloromethane stock

A new family of adj-dicarbaporphyrinoids has been prepared using the "2 + 2" MacDonald methodology. Dibutylboron triflate catalyzed condensation of 3-iodo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde with an indene enamine afforded an iodofulvene aldehyde, and a related dimethoxyfulvene was similarly

A 2-O-benzyl-3,5-O-benzylidene-alpha-d-thioarabinofuranoside was obtained by reaction of the corresponding diol with alpha,alpha-dibromotoluene under basic conditions. On activation with 1-benzenesulfinyl piperidine, or diphenyl sulfoxide, and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in dichloromethane at

A new metallo-organic gelator formed from an admixture of a substituted nicotinic acid and its sodium salt is described. The nicotinic acid is substituted in the 6-position by an acetal functionality. The crystal structure of the 1:1 mixture revealed that the sodium atoms are aligned in infinite

Hydroboration generally requires the presence of a catalyst to lower the barrier for hydride transfer. This work reports on the first catalyst-free CO2 hydroboration with a neutral boron compound, the nucleophilic diborane [HB(hpp)]2 , 1 (hpp=1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidinate).

2,6-di-O-benzyl- (9), 2-O-benzyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene- (19), and 2-O-benzyl-6-O-m-chlorobenzoyl-L-arabino-hexos-5-ulose (20) have been prepared using 4'-deoxy-4'-eno- and 6'-deoxy-5'-eno lactose dimethyl acetal derivatives 7 and 14 as key intermediates. The synthesis of enol ethers 7 and 14 has been

The aim was to study the effect of the type of polymer solvent on characteristics of microspheres produced by spray drying. The water-soluble model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was microencapsulated into biodegradable poly(D,L-lactic acid) using the following 10 different polymer solvents:
