A facile synthesis and crystal structure of cis‐9,10,11,15‐tetrahydro‐9,10[3′,4′]‐furanoanthracene‐12,14‐dione from the reaction of anthracene and maleic anhydride in xylene in a short time and high yield using a modified commercial domestic microwave oven is reported.


Asymmetric Synthesis Of Anti-1,2-Amino Alcohols Via The Borono-Mannich Reaction: A Formal Synthesis Of (-)-Swainsonine, Christopher W. G. Au, Stephen G. Pyne Jan 2006

Asymmetric Synthesis Of Anti-1,2-Amino Alcohols Via The Borono-Mannich Reaction: A Formal Synthesis Of (-)-Swainsonine, Christopher W. G. Au, Stephen G. Pyne

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Chiral α-hydroxy-aldehydes generated in situ by the ADH reaction of vinyl sulfones undergo a borono-Mannich reaction with β-styrenyl boronic acid and primary amines to give anti-1,2-amino alcohols in high enantiomeric purities (ee 83-95%). This new method allows much more rapid access to these valuable chiral building blocks that has been used in a short formal synthesis (10 synthetic steps from 4-penten-1-ol) of (-)-swainsonine.
