    3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones through the palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-oxazolidinones

    Full text link
    3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones are obtained in good yields through the palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-oxazolidinones with aryl bromides. The nature of aryl bromides, phosphine ligands, bases, and solvents strongly affects the reaction outcome

    An efficient Pd or Rh-catalyzed new route towards seven membered benzolactones was disclosed. The regiochemistry of the procedd depends on the catalyst choice. It was also possibl

    2,5,7-Trisubstituted benzo[b]furans through a copper- and/or palladium-catalyzed assembly and functionalization process

    No full text
    A straightforward approach to the synthesis of 2,5,7-trisubstituted benzo[b]furans from 2-bromo- and 2- chloro-6-iodo-4-substituted phenols through a consecutive copper- and/or palladium-catalyzed assembly and functionalization process is described. Functionalization at the C(7) position is carried out by Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and C–N bond forming reactions

    Pd- and Rh-Catalyzed Hydroarylation of γ-(2-Methoxycarbonylphenyl)propargylic Alcohols: Approaches to 4- or 5-Substituted Seven-Membered Benzolactones and 3,3- Disubstituted Phthalides

    No full text
    A study of the palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation/hydrovinylation reaction of γ-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-propargylic alcohols with aryl iodides/vinyl triflates and of the rhodium-catalyzed one with organoboron derivatives is described.The opposite regiochemical outcome of the two processes allows an easy selective approach to 5- or 4-substituted benzoxepin-1(3H)-ones by combining the hydroarylative/hydrovinylative step with cyclocondensation between −OH and −COOMe groupsin the intermediate γ,γ-disubstituted or β,γ-disubstituted allylic alcohols. A one-flask procedure to give benzo[c]oxepin-1(3H)-ones directly from the starting alkyne has been also developed. Treatment of crude γ,γ-disubstituted allylic alcohols with NaOH, followed by acidification, affords 3,3-disubstituted phthalides

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Synthesis of indolo[1,2-c]quinazolines from 2-alkynylaniline derivatives through Pd-catalyzed indole formation/cyclization with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal

    An efficient strategy for the synthesis of 6-unsubstituted indolo[1,2-c]quinazolines is described. The Pd-catalyzed reaction of o-(o-aminophenylethynyl) trifluoroacetanilides with Ar-B(OH)2 afforded 2-(o-aminophenyl)-3-arylindoles, that were converted to 12-arylindolo[1,2-c]quinazolines by adding dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) to the reaction mixture after extractive work-up. This reaction outcome is different from the previously reported Pd-catalyzed sequential reaction of the same substrates with Ar-I, Ar-Br and ArN2+BF4-, that afforded 12-arylindolo[1,2-c]quinazolin-6(5H)-ones. Moreover, 12-unsubstituted indolo[1,2-c]quinazolines can be obtained both by reacting 2-(o-aminophenyl)indoles with DMFDMA or by sequential Pd-catalyzed reaction of o-(o-aminophenylethynyl)aniline with DMFDMA

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
