On the origin of the haouamine alkaloids
Burns, Noah Z.,Baran, Phil S.
, p. 205 - 208 (2008/09/19)
(Chemical Equation Presented) Not what it seemed: Careful reinvestigation of the classic Chichibabin pyridine synthesis has provided evidence against a spontaneous tetramerization pathway in the biosynthesis of the haouamine alkaloids. A simple enantioselective synthesis of haouamine A has illuminated its absolute configuration and points towards a phenylalanine-based biosynthesis.
Palladium chloride/tetraphenylphosphonium bromide intercalated clay: New catalyst for cross-coupling of aryl halides with arylboronic acids
Varma, Rajender S.,Naicker, Kannan P.
, p. 439 - 442 (2007/10/03)
A facile method for the preparation of biaryl compounds is described from readily accessible aryl halides and arylboronic acids using palladium chloride/tetraphenylphosphonium bromide intercalated clay as a new catalyst.
