General description

Layer-by-layer assembly of 4-aminothiophenol and ytterbium(III)trifluoromethanesulfonate hydrate film has been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Bis(oxazolinyl)-pyridine-scandium(III) triflate complexes have been reported to catalyze the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts addition of various indoles.

Application

Ytterbium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate hydrate (Yb(OTf)3) was employed as Lewis acid catalyst for the following studies:
  • Synthesis of the dihydropyrimidine (DHPM) derivative monastrol, by Biginelli cyclocondensation.
  • Cross-aldol reaction between ketone and aldehyde.
  • Synthesis of β-keto enol ethers.
  • Synthesis of deoxypenostatin A in a novel, stereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

The enantioselective Friedel-Crafts addition of a variety of indoles catalyzed by bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine-scandium(III) triflate complexes (Sc(III)-pybox) was accomplished utilizing a series of beta-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphonates and alpha,beta-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles. The acyl phosphonate products were efficiently transformed into esters and amides, whereas

Friedel–Crafts Acylation

The Friedel–Crafts acylation is the reaction of an arene with acyl chlorides or anhydrides using a strong Lewis acid catalyst. This reaction proceeds via electrophilic aromatic substitution to form monoacylated products.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
