Vanadium in modern organic synthesis

Article Abstract:

Vanadium is an important element in organic synthesis, widely used in the control of oxidation and reduction reactions. Vanadium changes oxidation states by a one-electron transfer process, yielding numerous oxides useful in redox chemistry. Vanadium can be found in bioactive enzymes, such as bromoperoxidase and nitrogenase, as well as in the blood pigments of marine tunicates. Vanadium and its oxidants may act as Lewis acids, expanding their utility in synthetic reactions.

Synthesis of methylene- and alkylidenecyclopropane derivatives

Article Abstract:

The methylenecyclopropane derivatives contain useful features such as high level of strain and stability which are provided by the amino acids hypoglycine and methylenecyclopropylglycine that are responsible for powerful biological activity. The compounds, which utilize synthetic methods, also have optical properties. Such properties of the compounds may be considered as important tools in molecular construction.
