Synthesis of α-oxygenated β,γ-unsaturated ketones by a catalytic rearrangement strategy

Heterogeneous catalysis for the tandem cyclisation of unsaturated alcohols

A methodology for the tandem cycloisomerisation of doubly unsaturated alcohols using Amberlyst-15 was developed.

A semipinacol rearrangement of vinylogous α-ketol cocatalyzed by a cinchona-based primary amine and N-Boc-phenylglycines: mechanisms, roles of catalysts and the origin of enantioselectivity

A semipinacol rearrangement of vinylogous α-ketol cocatalyzed by a cinchona-based primary amine and Brønsted acids can be achieved with good enantiocontrol, and theoretical investigations have been performed to uncover and understand it in detail.
