General description

Reacted with dioxaphosphorinanes and iron catalyst to generate rearranged phosphonium ylide products.

Application

Reactant for preparation of:
  • Chromenes resembling classical cannabinoids
  • MK-3281 inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase
  • Norbornene-based guanidine-rich polymers as mimcs of cell-penetrating peptides (CPP)
  • Analogues of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing molecule N-(3-Oxododecanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone with immunosuppressive but non-LasR-inducing properties
  • Acceptor-donor-acceptor organic dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells
  • 1,3-dioxane-2-carboxylic acid derivatives as PPARα/γ dual agonists
  • Hydrazinophosphonates and hydrazinobisphosphonates via Mitsunobu and Arbuzov-type multicomponent application of the Morrison-Brunn-Huisgen betaine
Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) is a commonly used reagent in organic synthesis for the preparation of useful chemical intermediates. It is often used in the Mitsunobu and aza-Baylis-Hillman reaction. DIAD is also used as a selective deprotecting agent of N-benzyl groups.

A general approach to access sulfamate esters through preparation of sulfamic acid salts, subsequent activation with triphenylphosphine ditriflate, and nucleophilic trapping is disclosed. The method proceeds in modest to excellent yields to incorporate nucleophiles derived from aliphatic alcohols and phenols.

Cancer immunotherapy has been revolutionized by the development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that inhibit interactions between immune checkpoint molecules, such as programmed cell-death 1 (PD-1), and its ligand PD-L1. However, mAb-based drugs have some drawbacks, including poor tumor penetration and

The robust, anisotropic tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) provides a monodisperse particle size and defined surface chemistry. Owing to these properties, it became an excellent bio-template for the synthesis of diverse nanostructured organic/inorganic functional materials. For selective mineralization of the bio-template
