Three applications of path integrals: equilibrium and kinetic isotope effects, and the temperature dependence of the rate constant of the [1,5] sigmatropic hydrogen shift in (Z)-1,3-pentadiene [PDF]
Recent experiments have confirmed the importance of nuclear quantum effects even in large biomolecules at physiological temperature. Here we describe how the path integral formalism can be used to describe rigorously the nuclear quantum effects on ...

Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-petromyroxol, enabled by rhodium-catalyzed denitrogenation and rearrangement of a 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole [PDF]
Petromyroxol is a non-racemic mixture of enantiomeric oxylipids isolated from water conditioned with larval sea lamprey. The (+)-antipode exhibits interesting biological properties but only 1 mg was isolated from >100000 L of water.

Path integral evaluation of equilibrium isotope effects [PDF]
A general and rigorous methodology to compute the quantum equilibrium isotope effect is described. Unlike standard approaches, ours does not assume separability of rotational and vibrational motions and does not make the harmonic approximation for ...

For the first time, we elaborated a method for the synthesis of pyrimidines containing an allomaltol unit. The suggested approach is based on the reaction of 2-(1-(dimethylamino)-3-oxo-3-arylprop-1-en-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-ones with ...

A complexity‐generating intramolecular alkene diamination constitutes the pivotal step in the enantioselective synthesis of the title natural products featuring a strained, cage‐like pentacyclic architecture. Abstract Among more than four thousand monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) isolated to date, only a few feature a 2,2,3‐trisubstituted indoline ...

Reactive organoallyl species generated from aryl halides and allene: allylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and cyclic ketones employing Pd/In transmetallation processes [PDF]
Allylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and cyclic ketones promoted by Pd/In transmetallation processes has been studied. The unsaturated aldehydes underwent regioselective 1,2-addition to afford secondary homoally alcohols.

New chiral regioisomeric γ-hydroxyphosphine ligands were synthesized from α-pinene. The key transformation was the thermal [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allyldiphenylphosphinites, obtained from (1R,2R,4S,5R)-3-methyleneneoisoverbanol and (1R,2R,3R ...

Sigmatropic rearrangements in 5-allyloxytetrazoles [PDF]
Mechanisms of thermal isomerization of allyl tetrazolyl ethers derived from the carbocyclic allylic alcohols cyclohex-2-enol and 3-methylcyclohex-2-enol and from the natural terpene alcohol nerol were investigated.

Regio- and stereoselectivity in the Lewis acid- and NaH-induced reactions of thiocamphor with (R)-2-vinyloxirane [PDF]
The reaction of the enolizable thioketone (1R,4R)-thiocamphor (=(1R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-thione; 1) with (R)-2-vinyloxirane (2) in the presence of a Lewis acid such as SnCl4 or SiO2 in anhydrous CH2Cl2 gave the spirocyclic 1,3 ...
