- Phosphine-Catalyzed Domino β/γ-Additions of Benzofuranones with Allenoates: A Method for Unsymmetrical 3,3-Disubstituted Benzofuranones
-
A phosphine-catalyzed domino process of benzofuranones with allenoates has been developed which furnishes highly functionalized unsymmetrical 3,3-disubstituted benzofuranones in synthetically useful yields. The mechanism for the transformation is a tandem β-umpolung/γ-umpolung process.

- Designing ‘Totem’ C2-Symmetrical Iron Porphyrin Catalysts for Stereoselective Cyclopropanations
-
The catalytic activity of the iron(III) C2chiral porphyrin Fe(2)(OMe) in alkene cyclopropanation is herein reported. The catalyst promoted the reaction of differently substituted styrenes with diazo derivatives with trans-diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities up to 99:1 and 87 %, respectively. In addition, high TON and TOF values (up to 10 000 and 120 000 h?1, respectively) were observed indicating good activity and stability of the catalyst in optimized experimental conditions. The study of the cyclopropanation reaction revealed that the porphyrin skeleton is composed of two ‘totem’ parts which were independently responsible for the observed enantio- and diastereoselectivities. To further our research we also investigated the catalytic role of the methoxy axial ligand coordinated to the iron atom. The molecular structure of Fe(2)(OMe) was optimized by DFT calculations which were also employed to achieve a better understanding of the mechanistic details of the carbene transfer reaction.

- A method for esterification reaction rate prediction of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with primary alcohols in 1,4-dioxane based on two parametrical taft equation
-
Esterification reaction rates of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with primary alcohols in 1,4-dioxane as inert solvent were investigated. Acids were esterified with 1-propanol and alcohols with acetic acid as model reactants at a constant temperature of 60°C, at a fixed ionic strength and pH in a batch reactor with a constant volume. For evaluation of reaction rates, an exact kinetic equation for the equilibrium reaction was applied. Under these conditions and for low reactants, concentrations reaction rate depends only on the structure of reactants and, therefore, can be predicted by a correlation equation with two Taft coefficients (inductive and steric effects). From these equations, it is possible to estimate the esterification reaction rate constant for other acid-alcohol pairs. This methodology may also be suitable for other kinetic systems measured under comparable experimental conditions.

- Polymers with tunable side-chain amphiphilicity as non-hemolytic antibacterial agents
-
Quaternized polymers mimicking the antimicrobial peptides were created by tuning the side-chain amphiphilicity using a first-time approach of post-functionalization. They displayed excellent efficacy against pathogenic bacteria even in human plasma and membrane disruptive mode of action. The optimized polymers and degraded products were non-hemolytic.
