Abstract
We report the synthesis and optical characterization of a series of aryl- and diaryl-2(1H)-pyrimidones. The electronic transitions of these chromophores are modulated by the extent of conjugation between the pendant phenyl ring and the pyrimidone core as well as the presence of electron-donating aux...

Abstract
A series of conformationally flexible bicyclic N-arylimides were employed as molecular balances to study the weak aliphatic CH-π interaction between alkyl and arene groups. The formation of intramolecular CH-π interactions in the folded conformers was characterized by X-ray crystal...

Abstract
Metal-ligand complexes of Cu(OTf)(2) with an appropriate bisphosphine ligand have been shown to effectively catalyze the formation of substituted tetrahydropyrans via a sequential olefin migration and Prins-type cyclization. This methodology provides convenient access to a variety of...

Abstract
An efficient palladium(0)-catalyzed, Cu(I)-mediated synthetic route to trisubstituted olefins and conjugate dienes has been developed via oxo directing Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling reactions of gem-dihaloolefin-type α-oxo ketene dithioacetals with aryl and alkenylboronic acids. T...

Abstract
An efficient synthetic methodology was developed to assemble 1-azaanthraquinones from N-propargylaminoquinones by copper(II)-promoted sequential 6-endo-dig chlorocyclization and oxidative aromatization. The approach can be extended to preprare chlorinated alkaloids such as cleistophi...

Abstract
A facile in situ formed primary amine-imine organocatalyst was developed in the asymmetric Michael addition of substituted 4-hydroxycoumarins to cyclic enones. A series of optically active polycyclic coumarin derivatives were obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivitie...

Abstract
Preparation of a chiral, nonracemic 2,5-diketopiperazine diene has enabled the investigation of intermolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadditions. The diketopiperazine diene is reactive with both electron-rich and -deficient alkene substrates. Diastereofacial control in the cycloaddit...

Abstract
An effective and facile method for the synthesis of 2-substituted perhydrofuro[2,3-b]pyran derivatives is described. The cyclization of 2-C-aldehydo-2-deoxy-d-thioglucoside in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) is highly stereoselective. 2-Substituted cyclization products were o...

Abstract
The two isomers of 6-stilbene-amide-α-CD (6-StiNH-α-CD) exhibit different inclusion behaviors upon complexation with an alkyl chain bearing pyridinium end caps. Photoisomerization of the stilbene moiety of the CD derivative affects threading due to complexation between the axle and...

Abstract
A neutral ferrocene-appended aryl triazole receptor 1 for phosphate anions has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystal analysis. Among various anions, 1 shows a distinct electrochemical recognition of phosphate anions by its multiple H-bonding (C-H···O) with a tetrahed...

Abstract
Zeolite A (LTA) is of much interest in zeolite family because of its large-scale industrial applications. Making Zeolite A (a typical 4-connected tetrahedral framework material) at a lower connectivity (3-connected) might lead to new open architecture with expanded rings and enhanced...

Abstract
Through the design and synthesis of a new chiral phosphepine, the first catalytic asymmetric method for the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of allenes with olefins has been developed that generates cyclopentenes that bear nitrogen-, phosphorus-, oxygen-, and sulfur-substituted quaternary stere...

Abstract
We studied five patients with recessive joint dislocations and congenital heart defects, including bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and aortic root dilatation. We identified linkage to chromosome 11 and detected a mutation (c.830G>A, p.Arg277Gln) in B3GAT3, the gene coding for glucuronosyltransferase-I (...

Abstract
Despite their great diversities, 2D-shaped macrocycles that can serve as the organogelators have been surprisingly rare; two planar macrocyclic fluoropentamers designed by us were highly able to gelate organic solvents, largely derived from their strong tendency to form 1D stacked fi...
