Among Nature's creation, terpenoids are more versatile and exciting natural products. In a remarkable display of synthetic ingenuity and creativity, nature has endowed terpenes with a bewildering array of carbocyclic ...

The present work mainly focuses on the reactivity of monoterpenes like Carenes, Pinenes and their derivatives, which has vinylcyclopropane or vinylcyclobutane linkage. These moieties were well known to rearrange by treating ...

The thesis entitled "SYNTHETIC INVESTIGATIONS ON TERPENOIDS" consists of two chapters. Chapter I deals with the total synthesis of the sesquiterpenes, 2-pupukeanone 1 Norpatchoulenol 2 and patchouli alcohol 3 and is ...

The thesis entitled "Synthetic Investigations on Terpenoids" is divided into two sections. Section 1 deals with the total synthesis of sesquiterpenes belonging to the Zizsene group and Section 2 contains the synthetic ...

The thesis entitled 'syntheses and reactions of spironaphthalenones’ is presented in four chapters. A general introduction to the chemistry of spironapththalenones covering the recent literature is given in Chapter ...

Thio metallates are known for many years for their utility in many processes. They have been established as versatile reagents in organic synthesis. However the heavier metal chalcogenides, though known for many years, ...

Recent years have witnessed a great deal of interest in the design and synthesis of small molecules, which can mimic complex carbohydrates of vital importance in various life processes. Carbasugars constitute one such class ...

We have described herein a convenient one-pot synthesis of lisulfides/diselenides from a-amino acids mediated by ammonium etrathiomolybdate in water. (Figure 1) (Figure) Figure 1 Transformation of α-amino acids ...
