Application

(2-Bromoethyl)benzene can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Lactone derivatives by Sn-catalyzed double carbonylation reaction
  • α-iminocarboxamides by via one-pot, three-component coupling reaction of aryl isocyanide and aryl isocyanate in the presence of SmI2.

A one-pot, three-component coupling was accomplished via the nucleophilic addition of an alkylsamarium(III) species to isocyanides and the subsequent addition of the resultant imidoyl samarium(III) species to isocyanates under mild conditions for the formation of α-iminocarboxamides. The developed sequential C-C

Phenol is an important commodity chemical in the industry, which is currently produced using fossil feedstocks. Here, we report a strategy to produce phenol from lignin by directly deconstructing Csp2-Csp3 and C-O bonds under mild conditions. It was found that

Recently we described a novel pyranopyridine inhibitor (MBX2319) of RND-type efflux pumps of the Enterobacteriaceae. MBX2319 (3,3-dimethyl-5-cyano-8-morpholino-6-(phenethylthio)-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyridine) is structurally distinct from other known Gram-negative efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs), such as 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP), phenylalanylarginine-β-naphthylamide (PAβN), D13-9001, and the pyridopyrimidine derivatives.
