Natural product synthesis is a highly demanding field in constant need of efficient
transformations that allow either straightforward, scalable, and high-yielding preparation of …

The oxazole is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle that contains both oxygen and
nitrogen. Oxazoles are numbered around the ring starting at the oxygen atom as shown …

Cyanobacteria produce a large number of compounds with varying bioactivities. Prominent
among these are toxins: hepatotoxins such as microcystins and nodularins and neurotoxins …

Abstract In 1980, Sharpless and Katsuki discovered a system for the asymmetric epoxidation
of primary allylic alcohols that utilizes Ti (OPr‐i) 4, a dialkyl tartrate as a chiral ligand, and tert …

The directed aldol reaction allows the construction of new carbon–carbon bonds in a regio‐,
diastereo‐, and enantioselective manner. The kinetically controlled, boron‐mediated aldol …

Abstract Direct C H functionalization of various enamides and enecarbamates was
realized through visible‐light photoredox catalyzed reactions. Under the optimized …

A new approach to the assembly of enamides is described using copper (I) carboxylate-
catalyzed substitution of vinyl iodides and amides. Modified reaction conditions have been …

The marine environment is a seemingly inexhaustible treasury of organisms whose
secondary metabolites bear witness to the lavishness and inventiveness with which nature …

Enamides are key structural motifs in various classes of natural products [1, 2] and are also
valuable synthetic intermediates.[3, 4] In addition to a number of traditionally employed …

In the interest of identifying new leads that could serve as prototype agrochemical agents, 18
structurally diverse marine-derived compounds were examined for insecticidal, herbicidal …
