Abstract Glycosyl furans represent versatile chiral platform molecules that can be readily accessed via the Garcia Gonzalez reaction. Herein, we report a dearomative, intramolecular bromoetherification of carbohydrate‐derived glycosyl furans to generate enantiopure 6‐bromo‐furo[3,2‐b]furans in up to 69% yield. The method employs N‐Br aromatic amides as

Abstract α‐Chiral amines are versatile building blocks for the asymmetric synthesis of optically pure high‐added‐value chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. Herein, we report a one‐pot, two‐step sequential deracemization of racemic sec‐alcohols to optically enriched primary amines throught a photo‐biocatalytic ...

Furan carcinogenicity: DNA binding and genotoxicity of furan in rats in vivo [PDF]
ScopeFuran is a potent hepatotoxicant and liver carcinogen in rodents. However, short‐term tests for genotoxicity of furan are inconclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of furan to covalently bind to DNA, and to assess furan genotoxicity in rats in vivo.Materials and methodsAccelerator mass spectrometry was used to determine the ...
