The synthesis of 2-[2-carboxymethylthio-2-(4-chlorophenyl) ethyl]-2-(4-chlorophenyl) - 4-thiazolidinone (1) from p, p'- dichlorochalcone using thioglycollic acid in the presence of ammonium carbonate is described. Structural assignment and stereochem...

2-Hydroxyaryl(5-methylfur-2-yl)alkanes synthesized by alkylation of 2-methylfuran with various 2-hydroxybenzylic alcohols, were rearranged into corresponding 3-R-benzo[b]furan derivatives by treatment with ethanolic HCl solution. These compounds can...

Ylides 1f and 1g react with chlorine, with bromine and with N-chlorosuccinimide in the presence of a range of nucleophiles. The 2,3-disubstitutedbutenedioates obtained in this way allow us to gather more information about the mechanism involved. Ylid...

Our works on nucleic acids recognition and synthetic vectors for gene transfer have been reviewed.

Optically active nitrones derived from both aldoses and dialdoses add metallated heterocycles in a stereocontrolled way depending on the nature of the Lewis acid used as a precomplexing agent of the nitrone. Further elaborations of the resulting hydr...
