The synthetic utility and potential power of the Diels–Alder (D–A) reaction in organic
chemistry is evident. These significances have been extended to the synthesis of a plethora …

Since its discovery in 1928 by Diels and Alder, 1 the Diels–Alder reaction has become one
of the cornerstone reactions in organic chemistry for the construction of six-membered rings …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), in particular PI3Kγ, have become attractive drug
targets for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Here, we disclose a novel series of furan …

The first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-conicol has been achieved via a key step reaction
involving the organocatalytic domino oxa-Michael− Michael− Michael− aldol condensation …

Citronellal (3, 7-dimethyl-6-octenal, 1, Fig. 1) is a monoterpene, predominantly formed by the
secondary metabolism of plants. It is typically isolated as a non-racemic mixture of its R and …

The therapeutic effects of molecules produced by the plant species Cannabis sativa have
since their discovery captured the interest of scientists and society, and have spurred the …

Aryl triflates were found to be suitable partners for the palladium catalyzed direct arylation of
heteroaromatics via C–H activation–functionalization. The reaction conditions and the …

A new synthetic method for the preparation of benzofurans has been developed. The key
step of this method is the [3, 3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement of N‐trifluoroacetyl‐ene …

Malaria has emerged as a major health problem worldwide after the appearance of resistant
strains of Plasmodium falciparum to the most of antimalarial drugs. The development of …
