Sulfoxonium ylides are important surrogates for diazo compounds, and their use in industry
as safer alternatives has been evaluated during recent years. Beyond the known classical …

We have developed an unprecedented efficient and mild catalytic route for stereoselective
synthesis of E-vinyl sulfones from terminal alkynes and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) in …

An efficient, one pot tandem nano Cu0/Fe3O4 catalyzed highly regioselective synthesis of 3-
substituted pyrrole-2, 4 dicarboxylates from unactivated terminal alkynes and isocyanides …

A novel stereocontrolled approach has been developed for the syntheses of tashiromine
and epitashiromine alkaloids from cyclooctene β-amino acids. The synthetic concept is …

An attempted synthesis of the indolizidine natural product castanospermine resulted in the
successful addition of cyclopropenone to a sugar-derived poly-hydroxylated cyclic imine to …

An efficient and mild method for the synthesis of 4, 5-disubstituted oxazoles has been
developed. A series of 4, 5-disubstituted oxazoles were prepared via [3+ 2] cycloaddition …

A novel approach utilizing dual Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reactions in form of
intermolecular and a chemo selective intramolecular version, has been developed. With …

Three-membered heterocycles, such as epoxides and aziridines, are “spring-loaded” for ring
opening and thus undergo facile conversion into open-chain and cyclic derivatives. This …

Discovery of new effective methods for the synthesis of aziridines, epoxides and
oxaziridines, as well as development of novel transformations of these heterocycles, has …

An efficient synthesis of 1‐deoxy‐8, 8a‐di‐epi‐castanospermine and 1‐deoxy‐6, 7, 8a‐tri‐
epi‐castanospermine through the use of proline‐catalyzed asymmetric α‐aminoxylation of …
