Application

N,N-Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) can be used as: 
  • An organocatalyst for the synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted-3,4-dihydronaphthalenes by the reaction of vinylarenes and electron-deficient alkynes.       
  • A building block for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds such as enamines and amidines via formylation of methylene and amino groups.       
  • A reagent in the synthesis of 1,4-diaryl-piperazine-2,5-diones by reacting with chloroacetamides.        
  • A reagent along with enamine and alkyne for the preparation of 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted pyridine derivatives by three-component coupling reaction in the presence of Me3SiCl.

A novel series of analogues of calcitriol (1) is developed featuring a spirocyclic central core resulting from C18/C21-connection and C15/C16-deletion (2a, 2b). The synthesis of the key intermediate involves an Eschenmoser rearrangement of an enantiomerically pure bromo-substituted cyclohexenol.

Two different methods of derivatization were studied in order to select and optimize one for the in situ enantiomeric separation of amino acids present in Martian samples. The method, using DMF-DMA [N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal], is simple and easily automated. However
