Scalable total synthesis and comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies of the phytotoxin coronatine
Mairi M. Littleson,Christopher M. Baker,Anne Jacqueline Dalencon,Elizabeth C. Frye,Craig Jamieson,Alan R. Kennedy,Kenneth Ling,Matthew M. W. McLachlan,Mark Montgomery,Claire Janet Russell,Allan J. B. Watson +10 more
TL;DR: Gram-scale production of coronafacic acid is reported that allows a comprehensive structure–activity relationship study of coronatine and rationalise the biological activity of analogues of this phytotoxin.
New supramolecular assemblies in heterobimetallic chemistry: synthesis of a homologous series of unsolvated alkali-metal zincates
TL;DR: NMR spectroscopic studies suggest that in C6D6 solution 1-3 exist as discrete contacted ion-pair species, where the alkali-metal is partially solvated by molecules of deuterated solvent.

Crossing Organolithium Compounds with Organolithium Compounds: Molecular Squares and a Cage‐Encapsulating Reaction
TL;DR: An extraordinary crossing reaction involving three popular utility organolithium reagents nBuLi, LiTMP (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide), and LiC5H5 leads to the unexpected deprotonation of C5H4− anions to C5 H42− dianions.

Synthesis and structural chemistry of alkali metal tris(HMDS) magnesiates containing chiral diamine donor ligands
TL;DR: Six alkali metal tris(HMDS) magnesiate complexes containing chiral diamine ligands have been prepared and characterised in both the solid- and solution-state, with complexes 5 and 6 appear to be the only structurally characterised complexes in which the chiral dynamines (-)-sparteine (5) or (R,R)-TMCDA (6) have been incorporated within a polymeric framework.
Synthesis and Characterization of Isomerically Pure anti- and syn-Anthradiindole Derivatives
