bonds has been accomplished through radical translocation and cross-coupling. Upon irradiation with visible light, copper-based photocatalyst [Cu(Xantphos)(dmp)]BF4 enabled cross-coupling of N-alkoxyphthalimides with amino acid esters or amino acids to provide δ-C(sp3)–H alkylated alcohols (31 examples, up to 92% yield) with additive BNDHP or α-C(sp3)–H alkylated alcohols (18 examples, up to 86% yield)
Metal-exchanged clays (M = Rh and Cu) catalyze effectively the reaction of methyl diazoacetate with various aldehydes, affording the corresponding β-keto esters in high yields. They have also been effective in the decomposition of methyl diazoacetate to form metallocarbenes which, in turn, successfully insert into X–H (X = N, O, S, CO2) bonds of a variety of amines, aldehydes, thiols and acids, thereby producing the corresponding esters.
A packing material for chromatographic use wherein an organosilane of formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl, alkoxy or hydroxyl group or a halogen atom, provided that at least one of them represents an alkoxy group or a halogen atom; X represents an --NHCO-- or --NH.sub.3.sup..+-. --OCO-- group; n is an integer of 2 to 4; and *C represents an asymmetric carbon atom, is grafted on an inorganic carrier having hydroxyl groups on the surface thereof as well as a method for the analysis of an enantiomer mixture using the same are disclosed.
