Buckyball boron


The stability of the predicted boron cage stems from its unique structural geometry
 Since C60 fullerene’s discovery in 1985 and the subsequent Nobel prize awarded to Robert Curl, Harry Kroto and Richard Smalley in 1996, researchers have been challenging themselves to make similar structures with other elements in the hope of finding exciting alternative nano building blocks.

Acid-Facilitated Debenzylation of N-Boc, N-Benzyl Double Protected 2-Aminopyridinomethylpyrrolidine Derivatives

Abstract

2-Aminopyridinomethyl pyrrolidines represent a class of highly potent and selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitors. Conditions for a Mitsunobu reaction of a naphthol and a hindered secondary alcohol were optimized to give good to excellent yields. A key step in the synthesis of these inhibitors is the deprotection of the benzyl group from the N-Boc and N-Bn double protected 2-aminopyridine ring at a late stage of the synthesis, which has been proven difficult in our previous syntheses. Acetic acid was found to facilitate the N-Bn deprotection.
Keywords: 2-Aminopyridinomethyl pyrrolidines, Mitsunobu reaction, N-Benzyl deprotection, Palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation

Set them free? Combining a solid catalyst and a solid free-radical scavenger, gives a free-radical oxidation that gives high selectivity even at high concentrations.


We research here the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate, as an alternative route to ethyl pyruvate. Testing various solid catalysts (Fe2O3, TiO2, V2O5/MgO–Al2O3, ZrO2, CeO2 and ZnO), we find that simple and inexpensive TiO2 efficiently catalyses this reaction under mild conditions. Furthermore, molecular oxygen was used as the terminal oxidant. Importantly, this reaction runs well also using inexpensive commercial solvent mixtures. Both the desired reaction and the by-products formation follow a free-radical mechanism. Remarkably, adding activated carbon, a solid radical scavenger, hardly affects the catalytic activity, but enhances the product selectivity. This is because this solid radical scavenger hampers the formation of undesired products in solution, without suppressing the oxidation at the catalyst surface.
