The BF(3)·OEt(2)-mediated allylation of isatin with an α-chiral allylic stannane is diastereo- and enantioselective. Conversely, allylation of any substituted isatin employing the identical protocol is not diastereoselective at all and only enantioselective for the major diastereomer having syn relative configuration.

Vegetable oils are promising candidates as substitutes for petroleum base oils in lubricant applications, such as total loss lubrication, military applications, and outdoor activities. Although vegetable oils have some advantages, they also have poor oxidation and low temperature stability. One

A series of charge-delocalized carotenoid mono- and dications have been prepared by treatment of selected carotenoids with Brønsted and Lewis acids. The detailed structures of the carbocations were established by NMR studies in the temperature range from -10 to -20

The synergistic action of BF(3).OEt(2) and SmI(2) allowed a series of intermolecular cross-couplings of readily available N-acyl N,O-acetals with alpha,beta-unsaturated compounds to be performed in high yields, which was applied to the stereoselective synthesis of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (+)-xenovenine.

The synthesis of bis-steroidal pyrazines derived from 3-oxo-11,21-dihydroxypregna-4,17(20)-diene (4) and glycosylation of a D-ring side chain with α-L-rhamnose have been summarized. Rearrangement of steroidal pyrazine 10 to 14 was found to occur with boron triflouride etherate. Glycosylation of pyrazine 10
