Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Boronates to N-Acylimines and β-Silyl-α,β-unsaturated Ketones Catalyzed by 3,3'-Disubstituted Binaphthols
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-23)In order to extend the scope of asymmetric conjugate alkenylation catalyzed by 3,3′-disubstituted binaphthols, two classes of compounds were examined. Asymmetric 1,4-addition of alkenylboronates onto N-acylimines was ... -
Studies Related to Tandem Reactivity of 1-Carbomethoxy-5-dicyanomethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A set of studies centered around the reactions of the active methine compound 1-carbomethoxy-5-dicyanomethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (the "ring-opened adduct"), obtained by base-induced ring-opening of the Diels-Alder adduct ...
