New beta-amino alcohols possessing a vinylsilane moiety were reacted with glyoxal to produce lactones that were transformed in three steps in enantiopure pipecolic acid derivatives. The key step was a totally diastereoselective ene-iminium cyclization, whose mechanism can be viewed as a direct cyclization of the vinylsilane moiety onto the iminium ion. The reactivity of two beta-amino alcohols having an allylsilane terminator was also examined. Their difference of reactivity toward glyoxal can be ascribed to the intervention of a carbocation, which presents a behavior that differs according to the position of the trimethylsilyl group.

This study investigates the repurposing of asphaltene, a petroleum waste product, as a catalyst for organic reactions. Sulfonated asphaltene was synthesized and evaluated for its efficacy in catalyzing the Mannich reaction, displaying notable diastereoselectivity and operating effectively under mild conditions. Characterization of the catalyst's chemical composition, structure, and thermal stability was conducted using FT-IR, TGA, XRD, CHN, BET-BJH, SEM, and EDS analyses.

Herein we successfully utilize various directing groups to achieve a ligand-enabled nickel-catalyzed 1,2-borylalkylation of unactivated alkenes. A β-amino alcohol was employed as the ligand for non-asymmetric 1,2-borylalkylation of unactivated alkenes, while a bulky chiral diamine ligand was used to achieve the asymmetric 1,2-borylalkylation of allyl amides.

We synthesized a series of amphiphilic cationic poly(ethylene glycol)--poly(β-amino acid) derivatives with various lengths of PEG to investigate the effects of PEG lengths on mRNA transfection. The surface charges of the polyplexes with a DP ≥ 4 gradually decreased as DP increased. This indicated that hydrophilic PEG with a DP ≥ 4 was exposed on the surface of the polyplexes, which was further confirmed using H NMR.

This study describes a general method for the preparation of 1,4-oxazin-2-one intermediates from acetylene dicarboxylate and β-amino alcohol precursors. Oxazinones prepared in this manner were employed in a tandem cycloaddition/cycloreversion reaction sequence with a model alkyne (phenyl acetylene) to give substituted pyridine products. Fundamental reactivity and selectivity studies are complemented by the synthesis of the polycyclic ergot alkaloid natural product xylanigripone A.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating polyurethanes without isocyanates is introduced, using β-amino alcohols synthesized from (R)-(+)-limonene oxide and primary amines in hot water.
- The research explores the selectivity of these reactions through computational studies, particularly focusing on the role of water and the nucleophile in determining reaction outcomes.
- Cyclic carbamates are formed from the β-amino alcohols, leading to an oligourethane via Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization, with thorough characterization performed using H and C NMR spectroscopies.
