A highly efficient oxidative cyclocarbonylation of beta-amino alcohols and 2-aminophenol to oxazolidin-2-ones has been achieved by using PdI(2) in conjunction with KI as the catalytic system in DME under relatively mild conditions (100 degrees C and 20 atm of a 4:1 mixture of CO and air).

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.

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.

ConspectusSynergy between the teaching and research activities of a University should be a source of new ideas, each informing the other. A classroom discussion gave rise to our concept of using hydroxylamines as a form of "tethered nitrogen" for alkaloid synthesis. The "tether" temporarily connects a nucleophilic nitrogen atom to the substrate, rendering an intermolecular reaction intramolecular, thus providing stereo- and regiochemical control for C-N bond formation.
