Novel Method for Synthesis of Indoles
This invention describes a novel method of generating heterocyclic compounds via a 3+2 annulation. This method does not require expensive reagents and, in some instances, can be completed in a chiral manner.
Background:
Existing methods to synthesize heterocycles usually require multiple steps, metal catalysts, and/or relatively expensive reagents....

Meta-Selective Alkylation of Phenolic Substrates
The technology is a method of meta-selective alkylation which requires no heating and has short reaction times relative to existing processes. The process relies on dearomatization of phenolic rings, introduction of the functional group at the meta- position, and rearomatization of the phenol. The process requires no directing group.
Background:...
