Abstract:
A method of preparing a difluorinated alcohol compound is provided. The difluorinated alcohol compound can be easily synthesized when an aldehyde and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide are reacted in the presence of L-proline, and thus the method has advantage in that preparation processes are simple and reagents are economical and safe, compared to the related-art methods. Therefore, the preparation method can be effectively applied to prepare a difluorinated alcohol used in various applications for raw materials such as functional medicines, agricultural chemicals, polymerizable compounds, etc.

Abstract:
The invention provides compounds and methods, for example, to carry out organocatalytic Michael additions of aldehydes to cyclically constrained nitroethylene compounds catalyzed by a proline derivative to provide cyclically constrained α-substituted-γ-nitro-aldehydes. The reaction can be rendered enantioselective when a chiral pyrrolidine catalyst is used, allowing for Michael adducts in nearly optically pure form (e.g., 96 to >99% e.e.).The Michael adducts can bear a single substituent or dual substituents adjacent to the carbonyl. The Michael adducts can be efficiently converted to cyclically constrained protected γ-amino acid residues, which are essential for systematic conformational studies of γ-peptide foldamers. New methods are also provided to prepare other γ-amino acids and peptides. These new building blocks can be used to prepare foldamers, such as α/γ-peptide foldamers, that adopt specific helical conformations in solution and in the solid state.
Abstract:
A process conducts organic reactions in a standalone laboratory scale solar photo thermo chemical reactor. For organic reactions require elevated temperature, light and mechanical agitation, all three energy forms can be simultaneously derived from solar radiation. Organic synthesis, such as bromination of toluene derivatives (benzylic bromination), bromination of cyclic acyclic hydrocarbon and oxidative cyclization of N-phenylethyl benzamide through bromination were successfully conducted in such reactors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing aryl- and heteroarylacetic acids and derivatives thereof by reaction of aryl or heteroaryl halides with malonic diesters in the presence of a palladium catalyst, of one or more bases and optionally of a phase transfer catalyst. This process enables the preparation of a multitude of functionalized aryl- and heteroarylacetic acids and derivatives thereof, especially also the preparation of arylacetic acids with sterically demanding substituents.
Abstract:
A direct trifluoromethylation method preferably using a trifluoromethane as a fluoro-methylating species. In particular, the present method is used for preparing a trifluoromethylated substrate by reacting a fluoromethylatable substrate with a trifiuoromethylating agent in the presence of an alkoxide or metal salt of silazane under conditions sufficient to trifluoromethylate the substrate; wherein the fluoromethylatable substrate includes chlorosilanes, carbonyl compounds such as esters, aryl halides, aldehydes, ketones, chalcones, alkyl formates, alkyl halides, aryl halides, alkyl borates, carbon dioxide or sulfur.

Abstract:
A photoactivatable caged compound (TPE-C) with AIE characteristics is designed and synthesized. TPE-C is non-emissive either in solution or in aggregated state, but its luminescence can be induced to emit strong cyan emission in aggregated state by UV irradiation. Such property enables TPE-C to be applied in photo-patterning and anti-counterfeiting related areas.
