    No full text
    The development of novel methods for the selective functionalization and transformation of cyclobutanes is of great utility and has received significant attention in organic synthesis. Cyclobutanes play a significant role as building units because they can be easily transformed into a variety of interesting compounds by ring-expansion, -contraction and ring-opening reactions. In this account, we summarize our latest results on the use of 2-hydroxycyclobutanones as starting material of new tandem reactions leading to synthetically relevant nitrogen heterocycles

    2-hydroxycyclobutanone is a highly versatile four-carbon building block which can be transformed in a selective manner into a wide range of other useful synthetic intermediates via organo-catalyzed, Brønsted acid catalyzed or non-catalyzed procedures, which may involve tandem reactions leading to heterocyclic or ring-contracted molecular products

    The photoreduction of 4‐nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol by means of protonated and exfo-liated phenyl‐doped carbon nitride is reported. Although carbon nitride‐based materials have been recognized as efficient photocatalysts, the photoreduction of 4‐nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol is not allowed because of the high recombination rate of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs. In this paper, we show the morphology effects on the photoactivity in phenyl‐doped carbon nitride. Structural (TEM, XRD, Raman) and optical characterization (absorption, photoluminescence) of the pro-tonated and exfoliated phenyl‐doped carbon nitride (hereafter pePhCN) is reported. The increased photocatalytic efficiency, with respect to the bulk material, is underlined by the calculation of the kinetic constant of the photoreduction process (2.78 × 10−1 min−1 and 3.54 × 10−3 min−1 ) for pePhCN and bulk PhCN, respectively. Finally, the detailed mechanism of the photoreduction process of 4‐ nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol by modified phenyl carbon nitride is proposed

    A general strategy for the synthesis of indolyl cyclobutanones via a tandem Bronsted acid catalyzed 2-hydroxycyclobutanone activation-indole nucleophilic addition has been exploited. The procedure leads to a wide range of 2- and 3-functionalized indole derivatives in good to high yields with broad substrate scope

    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
