Congratulation to Hongjuan Shen, Jingjie Li and Junkai Fu for their works were published on OL and CEJ respectively!

Recently, Hongjuan Shen, Jingjie Li and Junkai Fu’s works were  published on Org Lett and Chem. Eur. J  respectively!

Miss Hongjuan Shen’s work represented two novel methods to synthesis of dihydroisobenzofuran and indanone derivatives from 2-triazole-benzaldehydes and 2-triazole-alkylaryl ketones via rhodium(II)-catalyzed tandem reactions.

Miss Jingjie Li’s work was published as an letter titled “Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Rearrangement of Tertiary Allylic Alcohols to Enones with Oxygen in Aqueous Solvent”. In her work, a one-pot procedure for Pd(TFA)2-catalyzed 1,3-isomerization of tertiary allylic alcohols to secondary allylic alcohols followed by a Pd(TFA)2/neocuproine-catalyzed oxidative reaction to β-disubstituted-α,β-unsaturated kenones was developed.

Mr. Junkai Fu’s work was focused on the 4-substituted-1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazole-based stereoselective synthesis of structurally diverse oxaspirocycles.  The synthesis involves Rh-catalyzed loss of nitrogen from 4-substituted-1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles, Grignard reaction, and a ring-closing metathesis reaction as key steps.
