Novel approach to the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic alpha-keto acids

Balducci, Daniele ; Conway, Philip A. ; Sapuppo, Giulia ; Müller-Bunz, Helge ; Paradisi, Francesca (Elsevier, 2012-09)

A new practical and efficient synthesis of alpha-keto acids was accomplished starting from the synthon 1,4-diacetylpiperazine-2,5-dione. The synthesis encompasses both aromatic and aliphatic substrates proving to be versatile ...
A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of Erlenmeyer azlactones

Conway, Philip A. ; Devine, Kevin ; Paradisi, Francesca (Elsevier, 2009-04-11)

We have recently developed a novel and efficient method for synthesising Erlenmeyer azlactones under mild and rapid conditions. The reaction is performed by reacting 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone with an aldehyde in dichloromethane ...
