  • fuctionalization of C4-position on pyrimidine and C6-position on 2′-deoxyguanosine to produce novel nucleosides
  • facile synthesis of α,α-diisobutylglycine
  • synthesis of DL-4,4-difluoroglutamic acid

alpha,alpha-Diisobutylglycine has been synthesized using a Pd-mediated dialkylation of ethyl nitroacetate as a key first step. The free alphaalphaAA is N(alpha)-protected and has been applied to the assembly of conformationally constrained peptide analogues. Mixed anhydrides from BOP-Cl and Fmoc-alphaalphaAA-OH are

Achieving synthetic control over light-driven molecular dynamics is essential for designing complex molecule-based devices. Here we design a novel coumarin-imidazole conjugate (1) whose excited state structural dynamics are primarily controlled by a distant intramolecular H-bonding interaction within the backbone. The

Michael addition of ethyl nitroacetate on α,β-unsaturated ketones followed by Nef oxidation under hydrolytic conditions yields γ-oxoacids instead of the corresponding α,δ-dioxoesters. A concerted decarboxylation step is proposed on the basis of computational results. Finally, conversion of the γ-ketoacids thus

Base-catalysed condensation reactions of nitroacetic esters with dipolarophiles to give isoxazole derivatives proceed faster, and often with higher yields, in the presence of water than in organic solvents such as chloroform. Kinetic profiles show that induction times are greatly reduced

DL-4,4-Difluoroglutamic acid (DL-4,4-F2Glu) and its methotrexate analogue, DL-gamma,gamma-difluoromethotrexate (DL-gamma,gamma-F2MTX), were synthesized and evaluated as alternate substrates or inhibitors of folate-dependent enzymes. Synthesis of DL-4,4-F2Glu involved the nitroaldol reaction of ethyl nitroacetate with a difluorinated aldehyde ethyl hemiacetal as a key
