Synthesis of highly functionalized 9,10-phenanthrenequinones by oxidative coupling using MoCl5.

Org. Lett. 14(12) , 2976-9, (2012)

The strong oxidative power of molybdenum pentachloride gives rise to an efficient oxidative C-C bond formation of benzil derivatives to the corresponding 9,10-phenanthrenequinones. A highly complement...

Genotoxic activities in vivo of cobaltous chloride and other metal chlorides as assayed in the Drosophila wing spot test.

Mutat. Res. 320(1-2) , 133-40, (1994)

A series of metal chlorides were subjected to the wing spot test of Drosophila melanogaster. In the test, larvae trans-heterozygous for the wing-hair mutations mwh and flr were orally treated at the t...

Novel domino oxidative coupling: C-C bond formation sequence to highly functionalized dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptenes.

Org. Lett. 13(5) , 916-9, (2011)

A domino sequence involving various MoCl(5)-mediated oxidations followed by trapping and supposed [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement provides a fast access to the full carbon skeleton of metasequirin-B. ...
