Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction

Carbon-Carbon cross-coupling reactions represent one of the biggest revolutions in organic chemistry and are currently some of the most common reactions in synthetic organic chemistry.

Amination

Amines are incredibly useful intermediates and they are a key functionality of most biologically active molecules. In modern organic synthesis practice, the most common reactions to form C-N bonds, besides the synthesis of amides...

Amine Protection / Deprotection

The BOC (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) protecting group, chemically a di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O), is probably the most common amine protecting group in non-peptide chemistry. The reaction conditions for the amine protection are quite flexible...

Amide Synthesis

The direct coupling between a carboxylic acid and an amine is competing with the acid/base proton exchange and it hardly is a suitable choice in synthetic chemistry. The most common strategy is the conversion of the acid to an activated form...

Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution

The aromatic nucleophilic substitution is an extremely useful tool for the functionalisation of aryl compounds. It has been around since the early 50’s and is still very common in the organic synthesis practice...
