A mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41) was found to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the reaction of both aldehydes and acetals with silylenolethers or ketene silylacetals to give the corresponding aldol adducts in moderate to high yields. The remarkable high catalytic activity of Al-MCM-41 over amorphous silica-alumina and aluminum-free mesoporous silicate was observed in the reaction
Strong Lewis acid air-stable cationic titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl)sulfonate complexes as highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for C–C bond forming reactions
The present disclosure is generally directed to antiviral compounds, and more specifically directed to combinations of compounds which can inhibit the function of the NS5A protein encoded by Hepatitis C virus (HCV), compositions comprising such combinations, and methods for inhibiting the function of the NS5A protein.

first applied as a ligand in metal catalysis, and more recently as a conjugate base in acid catalysis. Gheewala et al. report a class of chiral carbon acids based around a cyclopentadiene framework that are easily accessible from readily available precursors. The compounds are showcased as highly selective catalysts for asymmetric Mukaiyama Mannich and oxocarbenium aldol reactions. Science, this issue
Efficient Activation of Acetals, Aldehydes, and Imines toward Silylated Nucleophiles by the Combined Use of Catalytic Amounts of [Rh(COD)Cl]<sub>2</sub>and TMS-CN under Almost Neutral Conditions
In the presence of a catalytic amount of a transition metal compound such as [Rh(COD)Cl]2, Co(acac)2, or NiCl2, trimethylsilyl cyanide smoothly reacts with acetals to form α-methoxy carbonitriles in good yields. In the coexistence of catalytic amounts of [Rh(COD)Cl]2 and TMS-CN, silyl enol ethers or ketene silyl acetals react with acetals, aldehyes, or imines to yield the corresponding coupling products in good yields under almost neutral conditions.
