Synthesis of homo-N-nucleoside with 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide.

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids 24(5-7) , 979-81, (2005)

On the basis of potent biological activities of ribavirin and homo-N-nucleosides, a novel homo-N-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide derivative 1 was synthesized starting from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoylribofuranosyl-1-acetate as a potential antiviral agent.

Brønsted acid-catalyzed efficient Strecker reaction of ketones, amines and trimethylsilyl cyanide.

Org. Biomol. Chem. 8(6) , 1399-405, (2010)

A general method for the one-pot, three-component Strecker reaction of ketones was developed using Brønsted acids as organocatalysts. A series of alpha-aminonitriles were obtained in good to excellent yields (79-99%). A preliminary extension to a catalytic en...

Difluoro(trimethylsilyl)acetonitrile: synthesis and fluoroalkylation reactions.

J. Org. Chem. 77(13) , 5850-5, (2012)

A new silicon reagent, difluoro(trimethylsilyl)acetonitrile, was prepared by insertion of difluorocarbene into silyl cyanide. The obtained silane served as a good cyanodifluoromethylating reagent toward aldehydes, N-tosylimines, N-alkylimines, and enamines un...

Effect of carbonates/phosphates as nucleophilic catalysts in dimethylformamide for efficient cyanosilylation of aldehydes and ketones.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 104(9) , 3026-30, (2007)

Cyanosilylation of aldehydes and aliphatic ketones can be carried out in dimethylformamide even without the use of any catalyst. In the presence of nucleophilic catalysts such as carbonate and phosphate salts, the reaction rate is significantly enhanced.

Nucleophilic additions of trimethylsilyl cyanide to cyclic oxocarbenium ions: evidence for the loss of stereoselectivity at the limits of diffusion control.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 128(26) , 8671-7, (2006)

The limitations of stereoelectronic models in assessing the stereoselective nucleophilic substitution reactions of cyclic oxocarbenium ions at high reaction rates are discussed. Evidence is provided suggesting that the diastereoselectivity of nucleophilic sub...
