Despite the persistent presence of medium-sized (seven- to nine-membered) scaffolds in natural products and biologically active molecules, their asymmetric syntheses have always been considered a formidable task; therefore remained underdeveloped...
Enantioselective syntheses of spirocyclohexenone-isobenzofuranones have been achieved through an organocatalyzed sulfa-Michael desymmetrization reaction. A cinchona-derived squaramide effectively promotes the desymmetrization of spirocyclic 2,5-cyclohexadienone isobenzofuranones via the controlled addition of various...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
