Synthesis of new chiral 1,3-aminoalcohols derived from levoglucosenone and their application in asymmetric alkylations
Zanardi, María M. Suárez, Alejandra G.
We have developed a simple procedure for the preparation of chiral 1,3-aminoalcohols using the biomass derivative levoglucosenone, as the chiral starting material. 1,3-aminoalcohols, bearing primary and tertiary amino groups, were tested as chiral catalysts in the asymmetric addition of diethyl zinc to benzaldehyde.
SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF ANTHRACENE TO ANTHRAQUINONE IN ACETIC ACID WITH AIR IN PRESENCE OF NITRIC ACID
a Dolores Aldrados, Luis F. Burillo, Jose C. Tijero, Julio F.
The oxidation of anthracene in acetic acid with air in the presence of small proportion of nitric acid produced high quality anthraquinone with acceptable yields.A possible mechanism is suggested which explains the predominance of the oxidation reaction compared with that of nitration.
