Application

Cinnamyl chloride was used in the enantioselective total synthesis of helioporins C and E, bioactive marine diterpenes.

General description

Cinnamyl chloride reacts regioselectively with aryl and alkenylgold(I) phosphanes in the presence of palladium catalyst in THF to afford the α-substitution product†.

A short and enantioselective total synthesis of helioporins C and E, which are bioactive marine diterpenes containing a serrulatane or amphilectane skeleton, was elaborated. The chirogenic step, i.e. a Cu(I)-catalyzed allylic alkylation of a cinnamyl chloride with methylmagnesium bromide, proceeded

Stiff thermosensitive hydrogels (HG) were synthesized by self-crosslinking free radical polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm), adjusting the degree of swelling by carboxylate-containing sodium acrylate (NaAc) or a 2-oxazoline macromonomer (MM). The formation of hydrogels was possible due to

Aryl and alkenylgold(I) phosphanes react regioselectively with allylic electrophiles such as cinnamyl and geranyl halides (bromide, chloride and acetates) under palladium catalysis in THF at 80 °C to afford the α-substitution product with moderate to high yields. When the reaction
