ChemInform Abstract: Exploiting the CNC Side Chain in Heterocyclic Rearrangements: Synthesis of 4(5)-Acylamino-imidazoles.
2010
A new variation on the Boulton-Katritzky reaction is reported, namely, involving use of a CNC side chain. A novel Montmorillonite-K10 catalyzed nonreductive transamination of a 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole afforded a 3-(alpha-aminobenzyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole, which was condensed with benzaldehydes to afford the corresponding imines. In the presence of strong base, these imines underwent Boulton-Katritzky-type rearrangement to afford novel 4(5)-acylaminoimidazoles.

ChemInform Abstract: Novel Prolinamide-Supported Polystyrene as Highly Stereoselective and Recyclable Organocatalyst for the Aldol Reaction.
2008
A new prolinamide derivative anchored to a polystyrene support has been straightforwardly prepared and employed as heterogeneous catalyst in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction with good results in terms of yield and stereoselectivity. The optimal reaction conditions were found when a 1:2 (v/v) water/chloroform mixture was used. This mixture was the best compromise between the good swelling properties of chloroform and the formation of a concentrated organic phase due to the presence of water. Noticeably, the enantioselectivities obtained employing acetone as ketone were, to the best of our knowledge, the highest achieved with a supported proline derivative. This catalyst can be easily rec…
ChemInform Abstract: Organocatalytic anti-Selective Mannich Reactions with Fluorinated Aldimines: Synthesis of anti-γ-Fluoroalkyl-γ-amino Alcohols.
2010
The asymmetric Mannich reaction between fluoroalkyl aldimines and aldehydes catalyzed by α,α-diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether is reported. The corresponding Mannich adducts were reduced in situ to afford anti-β-alkyl-γ-fluoroalkyl-γ-amino alcohols in moderate yields and with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

A Photoredox-Catalyzed Four Component Reaction for the Atom-Efficient Synthesis of Complex Secondary Amines
2020
The one-pot sulfonylation/aminoalkylation of styrene derivatives furnishing highly substituted gamma-sulfonylamines was accomplished through a photoredox-catalyzed four-component reaction. Apart from one molecule of water and the sodium counterion of the sulfinate, all atoms of the starting materials are transferred to the final product, rendering this process highly atom-efficient. The operationally simple protocol allows for the simultaneous formation of three new single bonds (C–S, C–N, and C–C) and therefore grants rapid access to structurally diverse products. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions in aqueous acetonitrile and shows a broad scope, including natural products and dru…
ChemInform Abstract: Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Mono- and Diphosphorylated 1,10-Phenanthrolines.
2013
A general protocol for the coupling of mono- and dihalo-1,10-phenanthrolines with diethyl phosphite is reported. This reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of a Pd(OAc)2/dppf catalytic system and triethylamine as a base.
Effective Removal and Mineralization of 8-Hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic Acid through a Pressurized Electro-Fenton-like Process with Ni−Cu−Al Layered Do…
2020
Ni−Cu−Al layered double hydroxide (Ni−Cu−Al LDH) was proposed as an electro‐Fenton‐like catalyst for 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐5‐sulfonic acid (8‐HQS) removal in water. The properties of the prepared catalysts were characterized by using X‐ray, SEM and EDAX analyses. The effect of numerous operative parameters on the removal of 8‐HQS and total organic carbon (TOC) was studied. Very high level removal of both 8‐HQS and TOC (87 and 79 %, respectively) were obtained by using a pressurized electro‐Fenton‐like process (PrEFL‐LDH) at P=10 bars, using a Ti/IrO2‐Ta2O5 anode for 6 h. The process presented good performances in a large range of pH (3–10) and gave better removals of 8‐HQS and TOC with respect…
A DFT Study of the Domino Inter [4 + 2]/Intra [3 + 2] Cycloaddition Reactions of Nitroalkenes with Enol Ethers
2000
The molecular mechanism of the domino inter [4 + 2]/intra [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of nitroalkenes with enol ethers to give nitroso acetal adducts has been characterized using density functional theory methods with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G* basis set. The presence of Lewis acid catalyst and solvent effects has been taken into account to model the experimental environment. These domino processes comprise two consecutive cycloaddition reactions: the first one is an intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the enol ether to the nitroalkene to give a nitronate intermediate, which then affords the final nitroso acetal adduct through an intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition reacti…

1989
Asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene (I) with (S)-proline benzyl ester (II) yields a mixture of the diastereomeric cycloadducts (R)-(III) and (S)-(IV).
