This work highlights the application and interaction mechanism of metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, metal sulfides, graphene-based nanomaterials and G-quadruplex, etc. in nanoenzyme-based colorimetric sensors.
We report an unprecedented sequential Au(i)/bifunctional tertiary amine catalysis, which enables a tandem C-H functionalization of weak nucleophiles (anisoles or thiophenes) and asymmetric Michael addition for the highly enantioselective synthesis of quaternary oxindoles from diazooxindoles and nitroenynes.
All in a sequence: An organocatalyzed Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH)/bromination/[3+2] annulation sequence for highly stereoselective syntheses of bis(spirooxindole)s featuring adjacent spiro-stereocenters is described. The key step is an unprecedented catalytic asymmetric [3+2] annulation of isatin-derived MBH adducts, containing a tetrasubstituted alkene moiety, with isatins.
Synthetic methods involving chemoselective tandem reactions for the synthesis of α-naphthylamines and indeno[1,2-c]pyrrolones starting from (o-aklynyl)phenyl enaminones are described. When reactions were carried out in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using a AgNO catalyst, α-naphthylamines were obtained in up to 89% isolated yields within 2 h. Whereas indeno[1,2-c]pyrrolones were produced in high isolated yields in the presence of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and CuCl catalysis.
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.
