Exploring alkaline routes for production of TEOS-based consolidants for carbonate stones using amine catalysts

TEOS-based sols following basic catalysis routes were explored and showed high potential and important advantages for consolidation of soft limestone.

Regioselective benzoylation of unprotected β-glycopyranosides with benzoyl cyanide and an amine catalyst – application to saponin synthesis

Regioselective protection of trans-trans triol and tetrol moieties in carbohydrates was achieved with BzCN as the benzoylating agent and amine catalysts. The protocols are useful for the chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides and saponins.

Regio-, Stereo- and Enantioselective α-Addition of Carbonyl Nucleophiles to Allenamides Catalyzed by a Synergistic Copper/Enamine System

A dual copper/enamine catalytic system is found to enable an intermolecular enantioselective α-addition of various carbonyl nucleophiles to allenamides. Secondary amine catalysts allowed the highly enantioselective addition of aldehydes, while using primary amine catalysts led to the enantioselective addition of ketoester nucleophiles. The process was found to be highly regio-, stereo- and enantio-selective and represented the first allene hydrofunctionalization using an synergistic catalysis involving copper
