In almost all cases higher yields and fewer side products were observed, compared to the analogous 4-methoxy benzene diazonium salts. In contrast, the reaction fails completely with 2- and 3-phenol diazonium salts. For these substitution patterns the methoxy-substituted derivatives are superior.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtHauke2014, author = {Schmidt, Bernd and Hauke, Sylvia}, title = {Cross metathesis of allyl alcohols: how to suppress and how to promote double bond isomerization}, issn = {1477-0520}, doi = {10.1039/c3ob40167g}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Under standard conditions the cross metathesis of allyl alcohols and methyl acrylate is accompanied by the formation of ketones, resulting from uncontrolled and undesired double bond isomerization. By conducting the CM in the presence of phenol, the catalyst loading and the reaction time required for quantiative conversion can be reduced, and isomerization can be suppressed. On the other hand, consecutive isomerization can be deliberately promoted by evaporating excess methyl acrylate after completing cross metathesis and by adding a base or silane as chemical triggers.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtHauke2014, author = {Schmidt, Bernd and Hauke, Sylvia}, title = {Metathesis-Based de novo synthesis of noviose}, series = {European journal of organic chemistry}, volume = {2014}, journal = {European journal of organic chemistry}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1434-193X}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.201301615}, pages = {1951 -- 1960}, year = {2014}, abstract = {The rare carbohydrate L-(+)-noviose was synthesized from enantiomerically pure L-lactate.

This systematic study revealed that 2,4'-biphenol is particularly difficult to access, irrespective of the starting materials used, but that these difficulties can be overcome by using different additives. The conclusions drawn from this investigation allowed us to identify conditions for the protecting group-free or minimized total synthesis of biaryl-type phytoalexins.
