The novel multicomponent reaction of [60]fullerene with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and isoquinoline, quinoline or substituted quinolines was investigated. This type of reaction presents the first example of a 1,4-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in fullerene chemistry.

A protocol has been developed for the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse 3,4-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans via four-component reactions of arylamines, acetylenedicarboxylate, aromatic aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-diketones. The selective formation of the very different pyridinone or pyran derivatives depends on the

Stereoselective Diels-Alder cycloadditions that probe substituent effects in aryl-aryl sandwich complexes were studied experimentally and theoretically. Computations on model systems demonstrate that the stereoselectivity in these reactions is mediated by differential pi-stacking interactions in competing transition states. This allows relative

Big spherulite structure and high crystallinity are the two main drawbacks of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and hinder its application. In this work, a new type of copolyester poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene acetylenedicarboxylate) (PBSAD) is synthesized. With the incorporation of acetylenedicarboxylate (AD) units
