• of acrylates as dipolarophiles has only been explored with the 2-thienyliminoesters 6a. Therefore, based on our experience of silver(I)- and gold(I)-catalyzed 1,3-DC involving azomethine ylides derived from α-iminoester 6b and tert-butyl acrylate, we selected a series of known chiral phosphoramidite

• the approach of the mentioned dipolarophile. Conclusion In this work the complexity of the 1,3-DC reaction of azomethine ylides and dipolarophiles (in this case acrylates) was demonstrated. There are many parameters to control and a small variation can cause a dramatic effect in the overall

• enantiodiscrimination of the process. The temperature does not equally affect silver(I) and gold(I) catalysts. The effect of the heterocycle remains crucial in these transformations because, originally, the enantioselectivity of the reaction between methyl benzylideneiminoglycinate and alkyl acrylates failed in the

Polymers with some phosphonate functionality have long been established as excellent adhesives and anti-corrosion compounds [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], however, there has been very little investigation into the

This strategy allowed constructing dendrimers from one generation to the next. Thus, iteration allows synthesizing a dendrimer of second generation with 81 olefin termini from a

For a batch process with an initiator in the aqueous phase, it was found that the copolymerization followed the Mayo–Lewis equation despite the huge difference of solubility of the monomers in the aqueous continuous phase. Fluorinated monomers (fluoroalkyl acrylates) could be easily polymerized
