An efficient and unprecedented S-glycosylation reaction of benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole at the C-5-position using a Pd-G3 Xantphos palladacycle precatalyst has been described. This methodology showed a high functional group tolerance to the electrophilic partner and can be successfully applied to a variety of β-mono- and di-thiosugar derivatives. A series of thioglycoside derivatives from benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole were prepared in good to excellent yields under mild and operationally simple reaction conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This is the first report of enzymes used as biocatalysts for a 1,2-sulfur addition. In this study, we describe the synthesis of N,S-acetals using an environmentally friendly process with low catalyst loading and in short reaction times using porcine pancreatic lipase, chymosin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The hydrogen bond between the enzyme and the N-Boc imine is a key factor in this reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We developed a novel and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of important pyrazole derivatives by using some 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and phenyl hydrazines via a one-pot protocol. As a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst, we used [Ce(l-Pro)2]2 (Oxa). In addition, the catalyst is recyclable, the proline is economically viable and readily available in both enantiomeric forms and the catalyst is insoluble in almost all solvents and may be easily filtered off from the reaction medium. Moreover, this new synthetic protocol features high conversion, short reaction times, a straightforward procedure and cleaner reaction profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
