Having spent 30 years of my life as a psychiatrist, I find it interesting to see my profession as
others do. Tanya Luhrmann, a psychological anthropologist at the University of California, is …

A number of 1-hydroxyazole derivatives were synthesized as bioisosteres of (S)-glutamic
acid (Glu) and as analogues of the AMPA receptor agonist (R,S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-…

The synthesis of the first fullerene cryptate 7 with a sodium ion bound to a benzo[2.2.2]cryptand
covalently attached to a methanofullerene[60] is described. The amphiphilic properties of …

Glycosidation of the myo‐inositol derivatives 2 and 3 by the diazirine 1 yields 90% of a
diastereoisomer pair of β‐D‐glycosides in a 1:1 ratio, ie 5/6 and 7/8, respectively (Scheme 1). The …

The triphenylstannyl β‐D‐glucopyranoside 4 was synthesized in one step from the 1,2‐anhydro‐α‐D‐glucopyranose
3 with (triphenylstannyl)lithium (Scheme 1). Transmetallation of 4 …

Mannosylidenation of buckminsterfullerene (C 60 ; 1) with the 2,3‐di‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐protected
diazirine 7 and the 2,3:4,6‐di‐O‐isopropylidene‐protected diazirine 8 …

1-(Benzyloxy)-1,2,3-triazole, prepared by selective benzylation of 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole or
by oxidative cyclization of 2-hydrazonoglyoxal O-benzyloxime, was metalated exclusively at …

In the context of the hypothesis postlating a heterolytic cleavage of a CN bond during
thermolysis of alkoxydiazirines (Scheme 1), we report the preparation of the diazirines 4, 5, 7, and …

Insertion of the glycosylidene carbenes, derived from the gluco‐ and the manno‐diazirines
1 and 2, into the SnH bond of R 3 SnH (R = Bu or Ph) leads to the fully substituted …

The H‐bonds of the enantiomeric ribosides 4 and 5 and their glycosidation by the diazirine
1 are described. HO–C(2) and HOC(4) of 4 and 5 form a ‘flip‐flop’ H‐bonding system, with …
